This thread follows on from a thread I posted back in September. The concept of fixed a size of seems to be fairly uncommon in pen collecting compared to similar hobbies such as watch collecting. On here or on FPN members mainly come across people who seem to lack direction or any goal with pen collecting and just acquire pen after pens willy nilly (nothing wrong with this of course). To be honest I was doing the same until about 6 months ago when I decided to get rid of the pens I didn't use and to try to start refining the jumble of pens I had acquired which I'm still doing however is close to completion. The idea of having a fixed quantity limit on fountain pens seems appealing as if anything it would offer some boundaries and mean that my collection wouldn't become stale and be constantly evolving as my tastes change that acquiring with no particular goal in mind doesn't offer.
So does anyone have limit on there collection size? Or have an explanation why this concept is so infrequently seen?
