OK...Since Ive aquired a lot of new credit in the form of MAJORS...Ive always said once that happens, and I start getting approved for Majors, ill kill most of my store cards. Did another round tonight.....Heres the results...
Z-gallerie....$10.5k
Pier1....$8750k
Jcrew...$8250k
Walmart...$5.9k (can get TU score with my Barclays and Discover)
JCP....$6k (sorry... MOD SunriseEarth...had to make a choice)
Gap store....$5k
Neiman Marcus...$1.5k ( Im pretty sure im BL from getting a CLI on this card. I can reapply later after BK falls off if I want it).
So, there you have it...a total of $45.9k closed, just today....thats not including what ive closed over the last few weeks too!!
I am now offically down to only 8 store cards....hard to believe when at what point I had 30!!! 
I think the cards I have now, Im keeping for at least several years...they are my favorites, and I use them!! All my cards I now have, majors and store cards, are the ones that will continue with me in my credit journey. I will reevaluate things again in a year or so.

Congrats I moving forward. I have closed some nod opened others. I have closed most of my Comenity backed cards.

oh, Im not gonna lie...some of the cards I closed...it hurt...bad. LOL..Not in a util way...but in a "ugh" type of way. I worked my butt off to get those cards, and get them to the limits they were, but....my goals have always been to acquire majors.

After all my closings Im left with only 2 synch store cards, and 4 Comenity store cards.. a far cry from 10-15 that I had with each at one point.
