Your neighbor has a Zippo lighter.
If he had 50 of them - he's a collector.
If he has a 1000 is he a Zippo hoarder?
....
Now substitute other things - toilet paper, cars, ammunition or guitars.
Do the numbers change?
If 100 rolls of toilet paper is hoarding - is 100 bottles of wine a hoard or a collection?
And lastly - have you ever noticed that a description of hoard varies by the approval of the person deeming it a hoard? Or by the fact that they only have a couple left?
I think the primary difference is having so much it disrupts those around you. or you have to rope off sections of your house/living space to accommodate the items.
