How big is your collection?

[hederman]

Out of curiousity...

This includes EVERY card you own: PC, traders, boxes of commons, etc.

Mine used to be up around 15,000 until I started clearing out massive quantities of spacetakers. Now it's under 1000 cards, all carefully selected to assure worthiness of being in my collection.

my wife says too, many. lol. has to be over 100,000 or close to it.

I'd have to guess at 10-15k, ~2000 player collection cards, 1000 in sets, 500 traders, tons of random base/junk & the rest of it is a case of pro set in my closet hahaha

 

[Kharlamov17]

I'm roughly around 350-400. Incl. Oddball cards, sticker and traders.

EDIT: I can pretty closely tell from my memory what I have. Even my tradeables.

I think my collection is currently at 20 - 30 cards, but as small a number as it may be, I love looking at each and every one of my cards.

 

[Tangerinebunny]

5-10k. I don't even keep that much stuff though, I thought. I guess a lot of people don't collect sets or even base. I did this years OPC + inserts and retro and that's almost 1500 right there.

I wonder how many people would quit collecting if it went back to the old days of just players and a few non SP league leaders and all stars?

 

[JohnnyDrama]

Probably a shade under 1k. Most of my stuff is PC with very little in the way of traders/junk.

 

[terry1hockeyfan]

Definitely over 100,000. Possibly over 1,000,000 but I won't count them.

 

[exchefy1]

Somewhere between 50k and 100k with over half being vintage..Thank god for book shelves , offices, and closets..Lets not talk about cash value my wife may be looking or reading this.lol

That's hilarious Darren.......

As far as my wife is concerned my card collection is worth about worth $3-4000, but in actual fact it's worth quite a bit more.

 

[terry1hockeyfan]

Hey Dean, send me your wife's number so I can offer her $5000 for your collection. wned:

 

[jercardzzz]

my collection is roughly in the 20-30K mark....i have a hard time putting it together as i have cards in almost every room in my house...too much base though, if anyone wants some just holler over here...

 

[numbern9ne]

I havea 556 cards in my PC and thats it. I have no traders, commons or anything else.

 

[Krakenfan]

Last count i had over 220,000 cards. I have been collecting hockey cards since 1985. I am just glad it is a hobby my 5 year old son is starting to like.

 

[spooner9ball]

I was just over 200,000 cards, but I sold a huge chunk (43,000) just the other day.

Or, as I like to call it, 1.5 of ten shelves.

 

[Captain Canuck]

too damn many.

 

[JoelCarry]

If i had to guess between 300k - 350k not sure. All i know it is way too many :dizzy::dizzy::dizzy::dizzy::dizzy::dizzy::dizzy::dizzy:

 

[steveloy]

209,000+ cards in the collection and about 35,000 duplicates. All stored in one bedroom on three sets of industrial strength shelves.

 

[odjickfan]

I voted 20k to 50k.

I have around 20 2-3" binders full of 9-pockets pages with sets in them. I still have 6 boxes full of commons, over 5k cards in there. I also have several boxes of better cards in top-loaders. I also have a big box full of plastic cases with inserts in them.

But I'm looking to downsize the collection a little bit. I'm slowly moving the commons.
Maybe one day I'll start selling sets, but I don't see the point at the moment, looking at them is fun.

 

[LT21Titans27]

I've got one or two shoeboxes of old base cards, besides that I've got a lot of low end traders, if it wasn't for that id be under 500, but I'm still deff under 1K
