nah, depends on the collection and the collector. hoarding is a genuine mental problem where they throw NOTHING away. collecting can be a hobby, or related to a hobby, or a fascination with something.
if the collecting *negatively impacts the person's daily life, then yeah its a problem
Anyone who has someone close to them who is a hoarder can attest that it is something that is very difficult and painful to deal with as the person with the condition is also typically out of control in other areas of their life as well. See /r/hoarding to learn more, there are some great resources over there.
