Is That a Big Collection?

"Is that a big collection?" a friend asked me, when I told him I had a collection of about 1600 different casino chips, mostly $5-or-less from active casinos, and many obsolete ones of higher denominations with "old-school" designs I find very attractive. "Beats me," was my answer - I was overwhelmed by the sheer size and number of chips listed in TCR 10, over 20,000 chips in the state of Nevada alone, some with price tags I won't be able to afford for several years. So, to get an idea of where I am, and how far I have to go, how would you describe the size of this collection (nothing valued over "K" in the TCR pricing scheme):

1600 casino chips
450 duplicate chips
200 slot tokens
80 duplicate slot tokens
400 different matchbooks
100 duplicate matchbooks
40 silver strikes
75 slot cards
20 reproduction brass brothel tokens (very cool!)
30 jetons
5 plaques
