There no collecters, there are owners. one should be so lucky as to own just one. Read the history of Stradivarius and you will understand. It's not as simple as stated above! Antonio Stradivari's instruments became famous during his lifetime, as have many other "modern" violins have become famous in their maker's lifetime. Because of this, Stradivari's instruments were coveted by many people, especially professional violinists and the wealthy who appreciated them. Some of the wealthiest collectors even owned several fine examples by the same maker at the same time. It is important to know that not all of the old master's instruments have been 'accounted for'. Some were destroyed through various accidents, wars, or some other calamity. Some have even been stolen and never seen since: but a few have been recovered in a short time and even fewer - after several decades of invisibility. Also, if you ever hear someone say they have a Stradivarius, it's probably a less than equal copy that says "copy of Stradivarius" inside the body.
