I consider myself a type collector, but there are a couple cards that I have hoarded. I have to remind myself to stop buying the card I have enough. It is like how Matt described it in the Rickey Henderson thread:

I am not doing it to drive prices, but when I see the card I just have to put a bid in for it. I am not a very good hoarder because I have less than 10 and there are several on ebay that I have passed on to buy something else (though it was hard).
