I have most of the above plus:

The Message (really interesting way of looking at things, but NOT a study Bible)
HCSB Study Bible (just out)
Greek United Bible Societies (both interlinear and Greek only)

I use the ESV Study Bible the most!

At one point I had a major Bible collection. Over 40.
Then I downsized.
It's around 10 now.

HCSB
NIV

I may actually have more hymnals than Bibles.

NASB- Study Bible
ESV- Travel Bible
HCSB- I have it for the wealth of Apologetics information within. Not really the translation.

I currently use a 1957 printing of the Authorized King James Version printed in England. (Official printing authorized by H.M Queen Elizabeth II). It could be a collector's item today.

I'm about to buy a King James Study Bible. That's all I use. I've given away scores of Bibles in street evangelism and crusades. Rather give away Bibles to people who don't have one than have a dozen copies in the shelf. But I would love to collect and preserve old Bibles.

I have numerous different versions so that I and my family can study God's word. One son is studying to be a missionary in Mongolia. My 17 year old son has started to do the sunday school class and youth group when his leaders have not been available. It has also been one of the classes our kids do in school. Any body can do this whether they teach or not but having more than one good translation to study from is great. It doesn't mean that we are not involved with giving bibles away. We can still do that and still have more that one to study from.

Not sure how many I have. Does a "whole bunch" qualify as an answer?

Recently I have been using a 1985 NKJV wide margin more often. It has replaced my Oxford wide margin KJV as my favorite.
