Same with my collections (yes, that's plural as I have several collecting hobbies like baseball cards, coins, reference books, UK media guides/Cats Pauses, and most recently stamps) and I hope that's not true for me, the part about getting less enjoyment out of the hunt as I get older. And I suppose the fact that I had to build my collections they way I did with only disability or before that, very modest jobs over time makes it all the more rewarding and yeah, we wouldn't want it to be too easy ("buy everything quickly" either, right?
Still seeing these collections does make me quite jelly I'm NGL...
