What single cards have you poured money into, invested in, or just collected for the heck of it!

Challenge - show and tell your hoard of a single card (and include total count) in any of these categories:

Common Base card

Rookie Card

Parallel

Insert

Serial numbered card

Memorabilia card

Autograph card

Then again if you hoard, can you even find the stuff?

Here's a couple:

No pic, but back in the early 90s, I bought 1,600 count card lots of Glenn Davis, Howard Johnson, Rickey Henderson and Bert Saberhagen (all 1990 Topps, I think). Still have them somewhere.

Here's 132 1997 Collector's Edge Excalibur Game Gear (Helmet) Autograph of Mark Brunell (No Serial # Variant)

Whoooooa! You're running out of carpet!

At one point I had acquired 6 of 2011 Finest Marshawn Lync Red Refractors #/25. Then I realized I really didn't have a point to hoarding this particular card so I traded one away to a Seahawks fan on the board here and have all but one listed FT. I imagined other set or player collector's not having a chance to add to their collections which would be a shame. I'm hanging onto the one I pulled from a pack.

Damn...

Phinz needs to see this thread lol. I don't have anything that I have a bunch of to share...but looking forward to seeing who has all my cards > lol

That is an interesting hoarding example. You could build your own helmet.

Does this count?

750 1992 Wild Card Stat Smashers Thurman Thomas. I really like this card lol

BTW I have been hoarding 2012 Royale All Pros 50 inserts limited to 40, just not single players. Pretty much every one that comes up, I try to snatch them all

Damn.... lol

Couple of pretty cool hoards!

I started to "hoard" (quotes because I only had four or five) Edgerrin's 2000 SPx WM ball/jsy/au /225, but ended up missing a couple in favor of 1999 needs which prompted me to shelve the idea. It always comes back to the 99s.

I don't have a picture of them all, but about 10 years back, a local seller dumped his entire Rob Johnson inventory for $40 and I walked away with about 10,000 cards, including 650 of this rookie:
