Message: [QUOTE="rugal, post: 149502, member: 63329"] its a thin line between hoarding and collecting i am a bit of both in the past i did start collect yu gi oh cards and i did play alot with friends i do like the cards but now they are just in drawer collecting dust so now its part of hoarding but every few years i do look through the collection so for me the card colletion is a part of sentimental or nostalgia hoarding but i am still rational the cards do not take up mutch space so therfore i keep them but my game collection is a collection its alwasy on display and many times i do play the games with friends and family i did have a porslin dog collection of 800 something on display once but later i realize i did no lik them anymore so first i did place them in the attic years later i did realize i was just hoarding my dog collection instead of enjoying it the collection did just take up space so i decided to sell those i could sell some i could not sell because of sentimental value but did not want to keep i just did the hardes thing and throw them away at the time to sell some and throw away the ones i could not sell was no easy decision for me it did hurt the heart so in my opinion a collection can become hoarding if you do not like the things anymore and do not have them on display instead you just keep them in a attic or somewhere else instead of selling. give it away or throw it [/QUOTE]
