At what point do you become a serious 2600 collector?

Is it when you have the comics (Yar's, Bezerk, Defender, etc...)?

Is it when you keep a spreadsheet to remember what games you own?

I am just a person who has built this thing, but no one in my life understands it. Looking to AtariAge Forums to see if anyone else goes after the "original feeling" when pulling out that warranty card from the box, or reading the Asteroids manual, or using the button on the paddle to flip the teeter-totter in Circus Atari.

Is there a difference between a collector and an active player?

I guess I am just looking to hear from kindred spirits.
