Yeah, that's really the point of it. The whole point of something like this is purely to allow a statistical analysis of collection size. It's not about what you can/can't count, rather a method of direct comparison.

But who really cares what the numbers show anyways?
I mean what is it really designed to measure anyways? your pen*s size? your wallet size? how hardcore a collector you are?
Yeah for some reason there are fans who try to prove their worth through collection sizes, though. And then arguments arise about what people count... something I've never understood.

I don't advertise how big my collection is (or isn't!), because it's a personal thing. I don't feel the need to have a bigger collection than anyone else, or the need to catch up to anyone else. I enjoy my hobby and that's the point. Check my profile for a false count of my collection
