Perhaps this question has been asked and answered but I could not find the answer.... The total collection card count appears to be calculated two ways on the site.  When looking at the brief listing of your collections, you get the card count for the cards in your collection plus the total cards on your want list plus total cards available for trade (C+W+T).  However, when looking at your profile you get a different total which appears to be just the cards in your colleciton plus cards available for trade (C+T).  Is there a reason for this?  The second number would appear to be the more accurate number in my opinion.  Why would a card listed in a want list be counted as part of my collection?  Any thoughts?

I don’t know why any total would include your wantlist. Until it’s in my hands it’s not mine.

Right, a member's card total should be what they enter as having in All Collections [C] and available to Trade/Sell [TS]. Why would it include anything else, including in transit and transaction?

C+TS=TC [total cards] would be my accurate formula.

Well I just checked my "collection stats" and curiously found by adding my collection + trade list counts I am short by 13 cards from the number represented on the profile page... strange?
