The numbers have really escalated over the last decade due to
- most badges being made in several different 'colourway' versions
- match badges for individual fixtures - again a badge for just one match could very easily be made in 4 different colourways
Match badges have really become common over the last 6 or 7 years. Ebay has been a real catalyst for making collecting badges widely accessible.
The reason for all the colourway variations is because most new badges these days are made 'unofficially' - in other words, not made and sold by the clubs themselves but by enterprising individuals - again, ably assisted by ebay making these specialist items widely accessible. The multiple colourways is because when having badges made up there is usually a minimum order number of 50 with many manufacturers, so by having multiple colourways, the person who has had them made would only need to sell 25 pairs of badges, as opposed to finding 50 different collectors who want them.
The beauty of ebay (for all its faults) is that sellers know they are not restricted to just selling them on a badge stall at a ground, but also they can sell them to people who may not even get to games.
There are much bigger one club collections than my 1100 or so - a Celtic fan who has a website has over 4000, and it's not uncommon for him to get 16+ different matchbadges for a single European fixture

Maybe 7 or 8 - but they are different - some of the ESCLA ones from the 70s. |

Brilliant, I thought I had a lot with my 250 plus. Unbelievable amount, I doubt if anyone will get close to that number. _________________ Regards

Just done a quick count of Team badges, England Badges, Wolves match badges that I have listed on my Computer and I've reached a total of ........2157.
I have a box of Wolves badges, Irish, Scottish & European match badges,
FA Cup & Caring Cup Badges that I've yet to open spreadsheet for.
I would estimate there must be another 300 badges in that box!
So I reckon I must have circa. 2500.
Not bad for someone that bought his first badge on ebay in February 2009. |

Badges and tickets are probably my two keenest collections.
Currently have 734 Newport County badges and 5 sew-on-patch badges. |

Probably about 200 less than I would have had if I had not stopped at the end of last season.
And a few hundred £ better off which has gone towards funding the programme collection. |
