Hello TCDB Members!!

Happy Veterans Day! Was goofing around with the statistics features in my collection and ran some numbers by year. Across my whole collection (All Collections of 78,461 cards) it looks like the most cards in my collection are from 1994 at 3,167 (the least is 1977 at 28). The cards I want most are from 1962 at 207 (the least is 1980 at 1). And the most cards I have up for trade are from 1990 at 2,352 (the least is 2021 at 1). Kinda curious to see what others' numbers look like on here. I'm guessing cards from the '90s will show up on top similarly, but I could be wrong. Who knows? If you take the time to run them and post, thanks. If not, that's cool too. Wonder what the other numbers are by team? Have a great day!

I don’t have a huge collection, but what I think is most interesting is that out of 4,655 baseball cards, 3,289 of them are from topps sets. This does exclude topps update, from which you could probably add about another four hundred. That means that roughly 80% of my baseball card collection comes from topps flagship sets! 
 

No, I DEFINITELY don’t have a preference at all. 

I looked at the stats just the other day.    As my main goal this year was to send out more cards than I got in.   

I stand at 10 times going out as coming in.   No surprise as I'm selling more than trading.  Due to my wants and all the card I need to get rid of. 

First I want to preface that I only have my hockey collection primarily in the site and only have a dozen or so baseball players' worth of cards input already. So for baseball it says I have 3,728 in collection but this is not really in reflection of what I actually own. I collect all baseball and my estimate of how many baseball cards I actually have (which includes doubles because I am doing a box estimate here) is around 276,000.

That being said, here are the numbers requested

Collection: 1,129 (1990)
Wantlist: 2,695 (2005)
Traders: 123 (2013-14)

How it breaks down is like so, which may not be obvious. 1k cards from 1990 in collection is primarily taken up by 1990 Pro Set football, and the cards for the WInnipeg Jets, which includes all those pesky variations.

2005 being the leader on wantlist is 2,539 baseball is... actually I can't figure this one out. The 2nd place for wantlist is 2008 with 2,507 which can be partially explained by Topps Moments & Milestones which shows up as the top 4 in sets. But 2005 doesn't show up on page 1. It looks like there are just a lot of single cards from sets in that year, 1300 is just Manny Ramirez. IDK.

Traders are down to the fact that those are all hockey cards and I still have even more from that I didn't put into the site.
