This thread brings up a question I have mulling over for some time: How does
one get a fairly estimate pieces-in-collection count?

I am currently going through my boxes-and-instructions closet making a list of
what I have for insurance purposes, in case something happens (I do have
replacement value insurance).  But on top of the sets and boxes I have I know
that I have done a fair amount of yard sale buying and eBay collection and
bulk buying, not to mention the too-many to count TLG buckets I have purchased.

I have only been collecting seriously for the last five years or so after my
dark ages.  I can't imagine what it woudl be like to catalog one of these huge
collections from scratch.

Well, jeez.  I only have 44,000 bricks.  And yet every person who sees my
collection has said "That's a lot of lego!"
