So...I took advantage of another work bonus, and bought a bunch of Teemu's from COMC on Cyber Monday. So, my total now is over 1,700 different cards! To be exact, it's 1,717. I also have another on the way from Ebay, so I am 18% of the way towards the next goal of 1,800. I feel like once I hit 2,000, I'll probably have a break-down....haha.
Any milestones you all have acquired as of late? Interested to hear what they are and how you feel about them!

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Congratulations, that is quite a milestone. I expect to hit 90,000 different NBA cards in 2018. Recently achieved was #7000 and 8000 for NHL, both in October, and my first Vegas Golden Knights card earlier this week, notable because I got into the NHL because I wanted to see their logo, and got hooked on the sport. I should hit 10,000 NHL next year as well, may hit 9000 at Christmas. I started 2017 with exactly 3000 NHL cards.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards. Cardboard History My COMC New Collection Website: Cardboard History Gallery (Still under construction) Tips on how to make your scans look like the card does in hand (No more washed out, fuzzy scans!):

Congrats!
I'm approaching 15,000 different Topps football cards. I guess that will be a milestone. My normal milestones are completed sets. I recently completed the '71 Topps football set. I think '69 ser wiil be the next milestone for me.

Congratulations!
I recently passed 13,000 different Kansas City Royals cards. Milestones are always fun.

I mentioned in another post I think that I recently acquired a card from the 1940s, giving me at least one card from every decade from the 1900s to the present. Which I just think is cool.

Congrats to you all. I have no milestones. I did recently drop out of the Top 100 members. Does that count?

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Don't feel bad. I hear you're in the running for the 2017 All-Star Hothead Award.
