What will be considered a good CC portfolio?

Like what will be good in the credit reports besides paying on time, no BK, no collections, no high balances, low utili, etc? I want to know what credit card issuers/banks/credit unions will be good to have in the credit reports?

Agreed. You really don't need more unless you have specific needs.

Re: What will be considered a good CC portfolio?

It has been a while after I posted this. I have added a few cards since then. Originally I only wanted 2 cards, who would have thought a few months later, I have 8 total (in my signature). Among those 8 cards, my lowest limit is 5K. myFICO forum community makes applying for cards so enjoyable. Hopefully my portfolio looks better then before.

Scoring isn't based on the card issuer.  It's based on the former items in your OP plus things such as AAoA, inquiries, number of accounts, credit diversity, etc.

Does it mean the more accounts the better?

I think yes, more variety of accounts you have (installments, revolving) in good standing and show that you can manage/age them well, it would definitely show that you are a responsible borrower to the lenders thus less risky to them.
