How Orderly is your Card Collecting? What is your Scatter Factor?

[Frankish]

The fact that the scatter factor calculation makes no sense to me is probably a reliable indication that I am way too scattered....

I like BobC's idea of taking the cards that are part of your collecting focus and dividing by the total number of cards you have. If you do that, then I'm pretty close to 1. Although considerably lower if you include the junk wax from when I was a kid that's still sitting in a box somewhere in my parents' attic.

As for the OP's definition, I'm at about 10.

And Ben, that room is quite impressive. But if Ben's collection is the greater Houston metropolitan area, my collection is a little village in the hills. The whole thing fits on one shelf of a bookshelf.
