The Little Difference Between Hoarding And Amassing Cufflinks

As a child, I used to marvel at how my mother always had something when you needed it even if you woke up at 3 AM with an itchy rash

. While I was content to believe that she was Mom Almighty, a recent check on the medicine cabinet revealed untold horrors. My mother has bottles of cough syrup from way back when I was 2 years old! I am sure she will be shocked when she learns about it.

It doesn't matter if that aged newspaper you have was from the day J. F. Kennedy was assassinated. You can get that information online and you don't need it or it is the lottery ticket that won you a million dollars. It has outlived its purpose and is now worthless.

But then again, there are instances-isolated I might add-where people have offered their otherwise once childhood heaps of paper for a fortune. That is evident with the current obsession with old comics.

On another level, a valuable item can shoot up in value years later. A fine example is that early 20th century Leica camera that recently sold for millions of dollars. It was a valuable investment in its day and many of these cameras existed back then, but someone saw sense in keeping an obsolete piece of technology and it has paid handsomely almost a hundred years later.

It thus makes sense to accumulate cufflinks. However common a certain design is, there are chances that one day it won't be anywhere to be seen. Moreover, cufflinks are functional: they raise the overall appeal of your attire several levels above what the tailor could manage to inject into that suit.

It's a cool hobby. It certainly beats collecting barbed wire (yes, someone made it to the Guinness Book of records for that), doesn't it? To ensure that your collection is seen in the best light, it is always prudent to get yourself a cufflink box. You can then arrange them thematically in the boxes which hold as many as 36 pairs of cufflinks.

The boxes themselves come in different designs, colors and materials, and should you get the urge to collect the boxes too, check if you have thrown out the wrappers the boxes were shipped in. Still got the wrappers? It's time to seek help, you have officially crossed the borderline into compulsive hoarding. Do you think that there would be custom officials who would ask you for a passport to cross over the border?
