For me, "Historian" with a dab of "Finisher"
The only hoarding I do is rare parts, and if forced to part with them or if someone else needed them I wouldn't have trouble letting them go.

But still hold on to my Spectrum, and literally everything that I collected with it from Magz to Software (god knows how many of those tapes actually still work, but I can't throw them out). Its been stored in boxes in all kinds of environments. A lot of damp ones at that so no idea if it still works. I even have the old Sharp cassette deck (I dunno how many people recall those large chunky decks that most schools had, with the wood-grain top on them) that was my other main "peripheral". Given all this gear has never really been outside of storage for almost 2 decades and that I've held on to it - Yep, definitely a hoarder.
