I think both were necessary interventions.
To me the SW couple was by far the worst though. They didn't even know what was in their collection anymore and it had consumed their entire house. It didn't make a difference if they had some great pieces in there because the amount of clutter kept any individual item from being appreciated. I think it stops being collecting and becomes hoarding at that point. Plus I think its unhealthy when material items carry that much emotinal weight or shapes your lifestyle and it clearly defined theirs.
The Catwoman collector was a bit more typical. His collection wasn't really that big. The big problem I saw was that it wasn't being well cared for or displayed in an appropriate manner. Any time a collection gets to that point I think you need to evaluate whether it's necessary having it anymore let alone fueling it with new items.
Unlike the SW couple I actually think the Catwoman collector made progress and changed his ways. The SW collectors will just replace what they sold with more items in time.
