I'm not sure you can. "Collectibleness" is, I think, tied up with uniqueness - and how do you make a file unique? You'd have to add some value to a single, unique item to make it collectible.
I don't collect in that sense, but as I've discovered, there are books that I like to own in a more tangible form than files, so that I can keep them on my book shelf. For display, I guess - both for myself and others. There are some books, including comic books, that has so much value to me that owning a digital file is not enough. However, that might simply be because of my age.
