Well looks like he left over this, which just boggles my mind. I never once questioned the validity he seems to be upset over and directly said so in my first comment. My statement of "I'm just curious if Mike made that statement based on those he knows about and how many are in your collection (both unique and total) and how that compares with the others in the top 5?" should be read as WHY as in "is there a list?"
Anyhow, in case he does come back I'll provide more context on why I was asking:
I helped the creator of the playing card database website which was then bought and now run by Alex of Seasons Playing cards where I still volunteer and help support in its current form of
Portfolio 52. One of the popular features was the ability to see all collections and sort by size in terms of total cards or unique cards. People are proud of their collections and understandably some will want to see where they rank. Alex temporarily removed this feature last year due to possible privacy concerns until he can work out a way for people to opt out, but a number of people complained and really missed it. Thus, if there was some other list/website that I wasn't aware of then I could direct people to it for updates and reference. I'm not a quantity collector, I have too many other expensive habits to get into that game, so I honestly DO NOT CARE. However, it's important to some and that's OK!!! Heck, clearly Cardshark is proud of the fact that Mike/Donna said his was a top 5 since he repeated it. AGAIN, THAT IS FINE!!! I have no issue with that, so confused why he wouldn't want to talk more about it then.
Anyhow, apparently there isn't a list and it was just an off hand statement made meaning he has a ton and probably in the top that they have seen. So my question is answered and we can move on. Hopefully that clears it up and he returns.
