Lost track on the number a few years ago. Twenty something, I guess. There was an anecdote on this list, or maybe Classic Rendezvous, about a fellow who picked up a frame, was hesitant to bring it home and face cross examination, so he hid it behind one of the walls. I think he stuck it behind the stove, and forgot it was there. Some months later the space was sealed off in a remodel, and there the frame stayed for several years, til it was rediscovered a decade later.
I moved office space a couple years ago, and found the storage area included two NOS frames I'd forgotten about- an old Olmo anniversary edition, and an Orange Rambouillet.
