Your favourite card. How many copies of it do you have?

This also applies if you have a few favourite cards.

There are practical reasons to having multiple copies. You can accidentally damage cards, or misplace them. Or perhaps you want to sell 1 copy because of financial reasons but still want to have a copy of your most favourite card in your collection.

This begs the question, how many copies of your favourite card do you have? And, are you always on the lookout to buy more copies of it or is there a limit?

Good question.

I typically will have 2 copies of all my most favored cards just because i enjoy doubles, but ill usually do it so long as i can justify the price. The higher it is, the less id be inclined to own more of them and id just settle for what works.

That being said, my most recent event of chasing a favorite card led me to owning 493 copies of it total which probably wasnt a fantastic idea. However i have no regrets and its really funny to me knowing that im probably the only person who has this card in such excess.

1, I would like more though yeah

Grade all 493 and you’ll own 97.6% of the pop

2, one mint raw for the binder and one in PSA 10

I couldn’t pick one card it is impossible XD However I like to have multiples of cards I like. Binder cards and graded.

What is this card you have 493 of

Some of my favorite cards are the neo rev holo bleed cards, the one I will almost always buy if I see for a decent price is misdrevous bc I love her eyes being holo. I have a good amount of it, maybe 9 unlimited and 2 1st Ed, I do not look them up ever, just randomly see them on Ebay and buy them lol.

Hmm I think I only have about 30 interviewer’s questions

I am gonna guess it is the dedenne card

If I randomly find a Gyarados for 5 dollars, I just skip a coffee. Probably pushing on 50+ of the same art in different iterations. Condition doesn’t matter either which is why I started enjoying the look of played cards as of late.

If I had the funds, I’d easily do this with Hiroshima Gyarados, Shining Gyarados, and Delta Gyarados and compile 2 pages each.

I like doing things in Bulk. You’d be amazed what you can get for Bulk and some negotiating. Most of my collection is full of tons of copies of a card. If I feel the card is good enough to buy, it’s good enough to buy a bunch of them.

100+ Red Envelope Pikachu

Some of my Various Stacks of Jumbos

A case of every Partner Pack so far

I wish I could buy more of these guys, they are awesome

I paid $0.20 each card+TCG Code.

I liked this Lugia so much I bought a crap ton. Ended up getting a very light Crimp Error one too.

And now let me show you a taste of True Bulk. Times this 500 pound Pallet Box by 8 for this year.

One of the rooms where we put all Legos up for sale.
