I've shared these pics before , -- but this is an idea of the mess i have going on
Mine is more of an "Accumulation" than a collection though ---
Pics are of attic, - garage annex - aka "future bike room" , office -- currently hanging up is a Ciocc, a Waterford track bike and a couple of daily drivers --
Last pic is the crap hanging up in the garage after my part out activity as i am actually trying to pare this mess down so i can make sense of it
A very large percentage of this mess is fully operational, - just needing a spritz of air to get out and enjoy the sun again
-- I see the same yellow Litespeed in 3 of these pics but other than that there is not much crossover ---
I currently mainly just ride 2 mountain bikes and split my time with 2 road bikes i recently built up - one a double and one a triple ---- Sadly i could get rid of 75% of these and never miss 'em again

Personally, i like beautiful wall hanger type bicycles --- i've got late model stuff to grind through the day to day workouts, --- but i'm trying to pare down to just the stuff i actually ride, -- plus the stuff i like to look at (sentimental stuff and track bikes mostly ) -- if i am successful, this will have me down to perhaps 11 or 12 machines and not 35

I better not comment, this might turn into a competition, and I'd be broke fairly quickly!

I spent a year at Edmond Memorial as well (1988) -- but the pic below , and the pic of my project truck -- likely will show where my collegiate affiliations lie -- LOL -- I gotta admit though, i dont pay much attention to what they're doing in sports until a little later on in baseball season and of course, - football season
- but i did see they showed Travis Ford the door ,

All these, and another in prep.
I'd trade most of them for my turn-of-the-century cardio-vascular system.

Just what's listed in my signature. I am outgunned on quantity, but the Capo Sieger is rare and evidently valuable, based on the recent eBay sale of a lesser specimen (no wheels, no front derailleur, crummier paint).

I propose a separate category of total age of your collection, as this is the C&V forum.

As do you my friend. 
Love to see some of these in person someday, that's for sure.
BTW I would add Chrome Molly and DD to this excellent list, with Fender1 leading the "I don't need so many bikes" list.
My public Flickr if you care to gander:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/36270004@N06/
FWIW
I had this one out today for the first time in a while. Tossed some 785s on and rode to Eden Prairie for lunch. Managed to find loads of gravel and country roads before it rained.

These other two get used constantly around here.
