How Many Cards Do You Own?

Ballpark estimate?

I'm alarmed to discover this morning that I have topped 15,000.

4 of every card in Standard is 6,416.

So you're asking Mike to invest many hours of counting for.... our enjoyment? Could be a tough sell Amar.

We should do a competition. At a certain date mike has to do a card count. Anybody (who doesn't work for mike) should make a guess. The closest guess wins some cool card from mike?
What do you think Mr Duke?

Would it be more then the total of each ' Quantity' field for single cards if you weren't counting sealed stuff? Surely that's just an SQL statement of some kind. Does anyone know roughly how many cards you can fit into those Fat Pack boxes? Most of mine are in some of those.

Michael Duke said:
nope, probably more.. although I havn't done a count recently.. (although thats all your getting out of me now :p)

I'd be happy to ofload a million cards to anyone interested... could really do with the space.

I'm guessing Mike has to undergo periodic stocktakes anyway for his business - we can coincide it with one of those.

If you don't then I agree with Ben, obv.

You can donate some to my Uni's Sci-Fi/gaming society if you want. We have a couple of people just starting to play Magic (mainly with decks created from cards me and my girlfriend have donated to the society so far); hopefully they'll be trying to teach new students themselves next year.

You can offload them to me, just expect me to be trying to sell you a million cards soon after :)
