People collect... what to collect?

I used to think that some collectors and curators got similar jobs, i mean, like very punctual things in common...They do both select an item, object, idea... they also do a quite peculiar selection over that, like is not just collect to put everything stuffed in a wall o shelf, they are hunger to find a rare item, a treasure to preserve on their selection...
I took a class of curators, was so clarifying about the ideas, humans tend to keep and collect but what's the difference? is the intentions (on my conclusions) over it..
i went to a toy museum, but didn't look much like a museum, was more likely to be a extravagant collection of a toy enthusiast person.. i did like it a lot of toys that was so nostalgic and keep alive some childhood memoirs, i left the place feeling that i need it more information, something to learn more over the full wall stuffed with toys, souvenirs, dolls, cars and else... was a nice place to visit and may probably visit in some few years... but left it thinking about what to collect?.... what do you collect??
