In response to that I'd say that I don't think that an album of photos is boring if it does not contain a 'high danger action event' or a rare vehicle/officer etc,
The value of photos in an album is the combined total - not the single picture. So really it's two different kinds of collecting. For example to be able to chart a units progress from pre-war training to deployment throughout the progression of the war, crossing countries and so on - the value of those pictures is not how they fare one by one but what the combined total of them all put together is. So yes some may be 'boring' taken in isolation out of context but the value of them is in the total if you know what I mean. The chances of them all being 'copies out of multiples' are generally slim.

One of the reasons why I prefer collecting albums or a collection/set over single pictures is that with a set or a sequence of pictures chances are more likely that they are unique.
