For me it's the way a pipe smokes that makes me want a number of them. GBDs 9438 and Peterson's XL21 are pipes that smoke just like I want a pipe to smoke. The different finishes just make the collection interesting. I agree with Al, probably a little OCD involved as I like my sets to have an example of all the finishes the pipe was available in. Approach collecting this way and you'll never buy a pipe you don't like and you'll always have a pipe or two on your "Holy Grail" list to keep life interesting.
