I think the difference between a collector and an accumulator could be defined in many ways:
1) one gun safe vs. 6 gun safes
2) someone who NEVER sells or shoots vs. shoots'em all and sells when he wants to keep from losing control :-)
3) one who can open his storage compartment and see everything he has
Finally, gives us all the opportunity to enjoy reading stuff and speculate on who is the happy collector/acumulator vs. who is the angry one... MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL,
