I knew everything about the total of your collection on the site, but I did not know that you could compare it with the total collections of other TCDbers such as you can do with total cards from players in your collection or total cards of teams in your collection.
I was immediately intrigued – and had no idea how I could find that information. I looked around a bit before my patience was finished after 5 minutes and I emailed Johnny. It appears that the road is at the bottom of the main TCDB page where the columns are mentioned with left. In the last column is a link called “Stats”, where I found the info.
Here are the bad guys who are at the forefront:
Good sadness, those are many cards.
I knew immediately that I would not be nearby anywhere. In my mind I always thought that I had a lot of cards – my card room tells me every day when I go in there and wonder where I will post my last arrivals. But I should have known that there were collectors who had much more.
So I started scrolling on the list in the hope that I would find my name. I didn’t know how many places were arranged.
I didn’t find it. It goes to 250 places and the last place is 150,000 ISS. But 95 percent of my collection is baseball cards anyway, so I have checked the individual baseball ranking (as you see above, the best person has 1,311.202. Wow).
I found myself in 241st place in 241st place. Really confusing that I am not higher. But the only sport I am fairly high is tennis, where I am 18th. That figures because tennis is not a popular sport at all to collect.
I still think there are cards in my collection that I did not enter into in TCDB. I come across five cards here and four cards that I did not occasionally submitted and I wonder what else has not been cataloged. I also have no idea if TCDB duplicates in your totals. There are a lot of Dodgers -duplicates that I have not offered to mention, TCDB ensures as far as I have the 17 1989 Topps Jeff Hamiltons that I own? Even if it’s not worth my time.
After looking at where I am, I would say I have a lot of work to do. Quantity has always been a source of pride for me and I have always been a bit confused by collectors who just want to show 25 high dollars cards on their shelf. But after many, many years I start to get away from the concept of “King quantity”.
I have referred to it in messages in recent months and that is all it will be, vague entries. But in the coming months you will probably see more concrete evidence of contraction.
But before you panic about what I have become, the most recent map arrangements of the house were all bought by me here.
These two cards and the Darryl Strawberry at the top of the post are part of my most recent sports lots order. I am not 100 percent sure why I received these three separately when I ordered the box option and the rest of the cards has not yet arrived. Have those sellers simply bypass the box option?
Regarding the Sportflics card from 1986, which reproduced in the usual worthless way. Dave Winfield Staart through the body of Pedro Guerrero. I have this card for Guerrero, Dave!
That is a little better. The other player on the card is Tim Raines.
I recently focused on my hostess of 1975 again. I think the prizes for Ryan and Yount scared me a little, but I am back with renewed energy. Rennie Stennett is a SP!
And see what arrived today! These cards brought me more than 100 for the set of 150 cards. Very cool. Note the “pitcher” error of Bill Madlock. I did not decide if I also want to add the corrected version (hint: probably).
So of course I add cards. Perhaps not in the speed that will bring me to the top 10 or even the top 100 of collections on TCDB, but I don’t think that is a goal, although it would have been one – if I had known a few years ago.
I mean 2 million cards? Where does that all go?
