Hit 50 different decks in my collection today and it hit me different

I was just reorganizing my shelf this morning and counted out 50 unique decks, from a beat up Bicycle Rider Back to some limited Kickstarter ones I forgot I bought. I started collecting 2 years ago just to have a nice deck for poker nights and now I'm storing them in a damn toolbox. Any of you guys hit a random number in your collection that made you stop and think about how deep you've gotten?

Man, 50 decks is a REAL milestone. I hit that same number about a year ago and it forced me to get serious about organization. You're going to need a bigger toolbox or a dedicated carrying case soon, trust me. Start separating your "players" from your "collectors" now or you'll regret it when you're digging through 80 decks looking for a specific one. I'd also recommend labeling the ones you bought for specific poker nights or tricks so you don't forget why you grabbed them. Stop yourself before it becomes 100, that's when it turns into a whole different hobby.

100 decks is where it really gets wild, man. @evanr79 nailed it on the separation thing, I got a couple of those big plastic organizers from the hardware store and labeled them by color and brand. Helps a ton when you need a specific deck quick for a game.
