I have a very specific list of the cards I want in my collection, currently 700 +/-

After selling off most of my vintage cards, I probably still have around 3K, but most are PostWW2. Probably, four or five times that in '81-present issues (the true addiction portion).

5,000? 7,000?
Hard to say really. The bulk would be junk wax era from pack pulls as a kid that I still have in a 3,200 count box (and smaller ones) in the closet. The bulk of my collection that I care about today (vintage stars, and sets I'm working on) is much smaller - maybe less than 1500 cards.

If you count all the junk wax, probably about 5,000. If you just count the ones I've picked up in the years since I discovered eBay and Net54, probably about 800.

rough guesstimate:
pre-war - 750 post-war vintage - 250 modern (mostly late '80s from childhood) - 5k

I haven't counted since maybe 1974...
I'm thinking around 50,000, maybe more. |

Like most people here, the vast majority are junk wax - if you count those then about 10k.
If I count what I would call just cards in "my collection" probably 150-200 |

Pre-war baseball: ~250
Post-war baseball vintage - ~25,000 Pre-War Tobacco - 11,732 Just total cards: Probably 250K. I have a lot of junk wax, a lot of non-sports, a lot of cheap stuff that accumulates... |

Most of it's junk wax, but I have somewhere between 15K and 20K, and my dad has another 15K or so. My real collection is more like 3500 cards.
