Are vintage collector's secretly depressed ?

sir please step away from the mego

I think buying a Mego may be linked to depression because when my mother
died (almost 3 years now) I was determined to get a Batman in a very
nice, as close to mint as possible, box.

It wasn't like I was going to be inheriting any money, because my father
was alive (and still is) - it was the fact that the first Mego she ever
bought me (Dad never bought you anything) was the RC Batman.
