I just wanted to change gears for a moment to talk about the amount of cards everyone has in their collection including in decks. I was bored over the weekend and I counted up al of my cards including the 200 from four starter decks in e,f,g, and h and the 112 from my two 56 card decks and all together with my decks, I have a grand total of 5,375 cards in my collection. How many is in your collection?

No idea.  It's in the thousands, but I've never done any kind of census while organizing them.  Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've done any kind of sorting.  Should probably do that soon...

This is pretty much the boat I'm in, lol. I have stacks of cards all over a shelf of my bookcase and a bag of more unsorted ones sitting on my bedroom floor at the moment. >_<

Might not be a bad idea to sort and count them

I probably won't count, but I do need to sort.  And pull stuff out to start work on a T2 deck.  Right now, I've got a couple loose stacks of stuff, but the bulk is packed away.  My MtG cards, on the other hand...stacks everywhere  :o

I probably only have 500ish cards in my collection.  I've made a point of not keeping cards that don't have value anymore, and I generally get my new cards from trading for specific cards so my collection doesn't really grow anymore.

i still have some of the old cards from back in the day and I plan on selling or trade to other collectors in the game who may need them to grow their collection as well

I would guess that I could fill 7 1200 card boxes.  I already have 5 filled.

I couldn't give you a number, but I have 5 boxes and a 1100 card plastic case holding up my computer monitor, in addition I have my 2 T2 decks and some other assorted cards floating around my basement, this also doesn't count the large box of no text cards I probably still have somewhere. I would guess it is well over 10 000, but I have no intention of ever counting them, that would be far too much work.

This also is only counting Redemption cards, I likely have just as many non-redemption Collectable cards as I have Redemption cards, and counting non-Collectable cards, I have quite a bit more, counting several other tabletop games that have quite a bit of cards in them.

Basically my basement is full of cards of many different kinds, it's kind of awesome, but kind of annoying.

For fun, for anyone who is interested, I have around 44,000 opened individual cards from the following sets: C/D/E/F/I/J, Priests, Kings, Tins, Disciples, Thesaurus, and Angel Wars. Total is somewhere over 120,000 including sealed packs/tins/etc. :)

I currently have a total collection of 4,639 cards. Of those, 1,955 are unique which means there are 504 cards that I do not have out of the 2,459 total cards in the game.

I spent many, many hours creating a Google Doc spreadsheet with all of the cards in the game as a way to catalogue my collection. You should check it out. I would love it if it helped you out in some way!

At the moment I have around 47,000 + cards.  I'm using spreadsheets built using the Microsoft Works program on my old computer that uses the Windows 98 operating software to count my cards.  I got a new computer with the Excel program and Windows 8 and when I tried to update my spreadsheets I could not transfer them. 

I was hoping I could find an Excel program that I could use as an inventory tool.  Does anybody know of a free, editable Excel program I could download and use?

No.  Never been to a National.  I only attended a couple of locals in Joppa MD and that was a few years ago.

I have about 250, new starter decks, and some judges tins, along with some random cards from Thesarus. I am trying to perfect a judges/black deck, and I make tons of theoretical decks, and play my brother with all of them against his theoretical decks, I have probably built around 50-60 T1 2P decks that I have played my brother against using Proxys, and found that Judges Black suits me really well, though that was before TEC.
