I know that Raph has mentioned this aspect of hoarding before, the urge to
collect souvenirs. There are many other reasons to hoard, as well, and
thinking about game economics I've mostly thought about those other
reasons. But are there ways to tackle just this one?
It seems the best way would to create a low-overhead way for players
to keep souvenirs which has some benefit to them over hoarding the
item itself. Would it be too farfetched for each PC to have a "scrapbook"
or something of the like where they could transfer special items into the
book for safekeeping *only* as souvenirs? Presumably they would need the
ability to show off the scrapbook to others, as well.
