These days most everyone collects something. Bread boxes, Santa Clauses, comic books, Hot Wheels, baseball cards, vinyl albums or even dolls. Sometimes a therapeutic thing to do is to go see what others have collected, if just to let you know that someone else was way more committed to their collection than you.

There are several doll collection/museums across Missouri to seek out if you are an enthusiast.
