A way to stay an ordered collector is money management.
If you fix every month or year a budget for rocks, technically, you fix the number of rocks that you can buy

And a good development is when you reduce the number of specimens that you purchase for your annual budget. Some years ago I bought 20-30 specimens a year, now I'm at ~15 (with a higher budget), my goal is to only buy 2 or 3 specimens a year which would give me much more budget for each one ... if only it wasn't that hard to resist so many other mineral specimens ... :-/
