Some might think that, in times of release and Marie Kondo, collectors were already out of fashion. But passions are not explained in words and no one can come and tell us what has to make us happy, no matter how bestsellers their self-help books are. Juan Pablo Villar is an obstetrician and lives in the town of Ituzaingó, in Greater Buenos Aires. Beyond his profession, he has a hobby he has been passionate about and dedicated for several decades: he collects autitos on scale since 1978, when his parents gave him his first Matchbox . Today you have 3500 copies , neatly accommodated in a special room in your house and ordered under a specific criterion. Its collection has everything: cars, trucks, collectives, pick ups, sports and some oddities. Those who collect this type of objects get their greatest satisfaction when they find that precious piece, which is usually lost and in the hands of someone who does not know its value. Juan Pablo looks for his treasures at fairs of squares and lost venues in galleries. He says, you find the best things there. Collectors like Juan Pablo are far from being compulsive accumulators: they are passionate, they are people who found something that fills them and makes them happy. They are, in the background, only children who enjoy playing with their favorite toys.
