I think the guy who was claiming he may have maxed the number of cards said he had 1,261, and that it wouldn't go any higher.

1,261 divided by 52 cards is an average of 24.25 of each card. Maybe Disney put the limit at 25 of each card, and the reason he thinks he can't get more than 1,261 is that he is still short on some of the more rare cards (e.g. spades), but has maxed most of the other types of cards, so each time he gets a card, his number doesn't go up because that particular card type is maxed.
We can't know for sure if 1,261 is the max number of cards, because we have no way of checking how many of
each card a pirate has. If the limit is 25 of each card, then the
real limit would be 1,300. I think I'll send him a PM to see if his number has gone up from 1,261 since his post.
