Question:
If "the tenth commandment forbids greed and the desire to amass earthly goods without limit" (CCC 2536), is collecting a sin?
Answer:
Collecting things is only sinful if we are spending money collecting things that should be spent on food, clothing, housing, family, etc. Collecting can also be sinful if we are spending time on our hobby rather than on our work, family, or life responsibilities.
Merely having an enjoyable hobby that helps you relax is not sinful.
