My dad's friend has 48 credit cards.
Yes, I know, weird. He says he signs up for one anytime he is offered. AFAIK he stays current on all of them (I'm sure that's a daunting task).
But...I wonder just how many cards one could have, if the bureaus have a numerical limit, etc.
I'm sure there are some nuts out there with over 100 different cards.

I doubt there is any set limit. I can't even think of 48 credit cards I would want to have and I would think when going for higher quality credit cards having soo many may lead to lenders asking why you need another one.
There was a thread about this a few days ago. There's a member that has (or has had) like 1,500 cards.
Sky is the limit......If you are good in managing the payment very well......Creditors would keep continue approving you. We have in this forum someone named creditaddict who has 45 (my last count memory...May have applied few more since who knows???)

Don't think this is a member, but back in 2005, this person had 1,497:

Along with Creditaddict's arsenal, Ron1 has 130+ and there's a few forum members that have upwards of 30+. I have roughly about 50 (give or take). I love the way the OP makes reference to someone being a "nut" for having > 100 CCs yet this is coming form the same individual who has probably broken a world record in the way of inquiries and incessantly applying (with no signs of stopping)... so, who's the nut?

You're right.. OP should stop applying for subprime cards and wait a long time with no applying to get the cards they actually want.
