Whether I volunteer for a museum or not, I would still collect whatever I want.
I doubt I would be volunteering in the acquisitions department, so I don't see
where the conflict arises (unless I'm stealing, which is a whole different
issue).  Even if I'm paid to dust the collections at the local historical
society, why should that prevent me from purchasing a piece of local
memorabilia that I find while on vacation in Lincoln, Nebraska?

                "I think you will agree with me that some day
                 this collection should be made known somehow,
                 to the friends of the College and to all who
                 cherish the memory of Bishop Chase."
