The twisted history of amp accumulation

So, I started out with a '65 Princeton Amp that I found for $350. Then came the '66 Deluxe Reverb. It was an amp I'd always wanted, and I thought I'd sell the Princeton to finance it. Alas, once I got the DR, I played through the Princeton again and couldn't bring myself to part with it, it sounded so good. Moreover, the DR was in such amazing condition that I couldn't bring myself to gig with it without worrying that it would get damaged the entire night (so it was relegated to home use, 'better' gigs where drunken people are Not falling over things, and studio sessions). Ok, so now I have a DR and Princeton. But there's more. Playing in a band, I wanted something portable I could haul to gigs (and was curious about something Voxy), so I bought a Winfield Cyclone head, and later the 2X10 Winfield cab. That makes three amps. Then, last week I saw a Clark Beaufort Special with Celestion Blue on ebay. With Bing Cashback it came to $645: irresistible. So, here I am, with four amps. Am I insane? The craziest thing is, when I think of getting rid of one of them, I can't!
Help.
