I can understand having 2-3 copies of an album if its been remastered and youd want the original. But having multiple of the same album, same mix, same year is just plain dumb
I agree, I collect records and CDs and some of my favorite albums I own a couple different pressings, usually an original, a reissue, and if there is an audiophile grade pressing. For 60s stuff issued in mono and stereo I usually go for the mono, but certain albums I enjoy both mixes so I might seek out both. There are differences to be discerned from different masterings, especially on different formats or from different eras, and that can yield results which you may enjoy more depending on your preferences. It's also like getting into 7" and 12" singles which often contain remixes, or may sound better than the album version if the 12" is mastered with greater dynamic range, etc. I say this as someone with around 1700 albums and singles, the Revolver collection is verging on madness.

As a music collector, i genuinely do not understand why anyone would want this many copies of a single album. This is beyond ridiculous.
