YUP - but seriously, how do you get 190,000 Robin Yount cards?

I mean that's 600 monster boxes full?

I'd say that qualifies.

190,000?! Sounds like a whopper to me to me. I'm not sure if the space required to house that many cards is what gets me, or if it's the cost of acquiring that many Yount cards.

If you did, I hope you took the time to call up Guinness!

I have 3060 - 93 Finest refractors. Does that make me a hoarder? The most I have of one player is 100 Randy Myers which is 41% of the production run.

Yes Phil...you have sufficiently qualified yourself

My favorite football player when I was growing up was Jim Kiick of the Miami Dolphins.
I started seriously collecting cards in 1971 and recall having hundreds , maybe thousands of 1971 Topps Football.
When I rediscovered my cards in 1987 the only cards I didn't still have were those 71 FB.

So, ever since, I have been recollecting them. I am doing 14 sets, low grade or high grade, doesn't matter to me. (263 cards per set)
I have maybe 5 or 6 sets that are full, mainly needing Bradshaw, Greene or some other bigger names to complete them. I also have at least a thousand extras that means I will likely keep going. I doubt that
I will try anything more than 71 full sets, any higher would be crazy.

But I only have about 30 of the 1971 Topps FB #186 Jim Kiick. I would like to get a lot more of those some day...maybe about 870 more before I stop.
That would be a box of 100 ct 9-pockets and one big binder full...sounds pretty cool

I know two brothers that collect Jimmy Key (they knew him in high school or something???)...think last time I asked them they had well over 200,000 cards of Key
