As I consider your post I conclude that a hoarder hoards everything, even garbage. They fill their homes with stuff of all kinds of unrelated things. This is a sickness. People who do this need help.

Collectors collect certain catagories of things. A gun collector will pass by a '55 Chevy for instance....okay; the Chevy has to come along too.

So, I think there is a difference between a hoarder and a collector. Hoarding is a mania.....collecting is not - sorta, but I do think the two are related to some degree.
