Someone who has been bitten by the [[Kolektinbug]] and develops an obsessive-compulsive disorder that that drives him or her to accumulate large amounts of sf books, [[fanzines]], [[prozines]], sf artwork and/or other materials related to science fiction. Collectors are not necessarily [[fans]], but fans are highly prone to the disease.
 
 
 
Some collectors, especially [[completists]], collect according to a plan — all the issues of a particular magazine, for example, or all the first editions by their favorite author — but others just accumulate more and more of their obsessional objects until they have no room to move around in their houses.
 
 
 
Those stricken, of course, say they are practitioners of the highest and noblest form of [[fanac]], especially when associated with compiling ''and publishing'' a detailed Index or [[bibliography]].    Such collectors are [[trufen]] and almost by definition mensches. "I might need that someday..."
 
 
 
[[Forry Ackerman]] was [[fandom]]’s most famous collector.
