I had over 30 at one time, picking up everything I could get a great deal on when I started collecting. After I settled down and realized what I wanted to focus on, I consolidated down to about 10 quality pieces. And yes, I regret every single one that I ever traded or sold to improve my collection. I am a lot more discerning and selective now, thanks in a large part to knowledge gained on these forums and from the books.
