Although, not being much of a baseball fan myself, I probably would have picked a different analogy. Maybe Fort Knox?

I'd put myself at 2.5
My collection is in the hundreds though I don't do a lot of blind buys (three all together). I'm a grad student so there isn't a lot of money coming in which means I have to a be a little more selective.
I do have hons of TV on DVD and occassionally I live for new release Tuesdays though I don't think I'm quite at the Cooperstown mentality just yet.

I'd say i'm at level 2, however, I don't own hundreds of DVDs. I'm currently at around 80, and it usually increases 2-5 more each week, so I think it's pretty good for only avidly collecting for two months.

I dont blind-buy. I research obscure titles...making my eyes wide open while shopping via on-line or store. I buy around 10 a week.
I have custom outer sleeves made for about 75% of my library.
I make my own booklets of info in place of weak or missing inserts.
nobody borrows any title from my library.
my library vault is it's own secured room....complete with electronic lock and rottweiler.
my level is....serious.

Between level 2 and 1. I try to buy only what I like, but for some reason, I pick up a lot of junk that I would rather not brag about (SAVING SILVERMAN, BODY DOUBLE, FEMME FATALE and other low to middlebrow flicks).

Strictly Lvl 1 now. Was a Lvl 2.
I like my money and only buy movies I really really really love and know I'll watch it more than 2 times. I do the netflix thing (blockbuster in the past), and go from there. Impulsive buying is no an option when you know how to spend your money instead of wasting it on junk DVDs.

Level 2. I thoroughly research my "blind buys," so to speak. And, I'm trying to get rid of some dvds I can do without. The only true blind buy that ever occurred was when I asked my mom to go buy a dvd, and she came back with Flatliners. Yuckk.
