Don’t throw out stuff like this… yet.

At what point in history did people start spending gobs of money on stuff that carried sentimental value?

Are my kids the only ones begging me every weekend to take them to the nearest postcard show?

All you need are 2 goofballs to agree on a price and you have a market.  People will collect anything : https://www.taminoautographs.com/blogs/autograph-blog/strangest-collections-odd-things-that-people-collect

In ancient Egypt, there were collections of books gathered throughout the world which ultimately provided some of our great primary historical sources to this day (for example the Nag Hammadi library). It is fair to say collecting has deep historical roots.
