Sure they do. But 90% of the world would rather know if their collectable is real and actually worth something so they (a) Didn't waste their time doing it for no gain and (b) Know that it will be worth something if they ever decide to get out of the hobby and sell it like 60% of all collectors eventually do when their collection becomes so valuable they got to sell it.

Would suck collecting something for half your life only to find that they are worthless to everyone but you.

Sometimes sentimental value overrides the monetary value. Collections don't necessarily have to be worth something.
