I'd have at least 20 bats, but really only use one (plus a backup) for serious play. I made up a lot of bats just for trying stuff or for demo purposes, but I found that it's only on rare occasions people are interested... so it's all been a bit of waste and rubbers degrade over time, so I don't do that anymore.
 
I have 4
1) Yasaka Mark V racket. Still awesome and lots of fun, great to use it for comparison once in a while
2) My Yasaka Ma Lin Jimmy Carr with Rakza Z FH and Rakza 7 BH
3) Nittaku Acoustic with Yinhe Jupiter Asia 3 FH and Rakza X Soft BH.
4) My 1st blade Yasaka Silver line All Wood now with Big Dipper on FH and Moon 12 BH.

I currently swap between 2 and 3 and will probably settle on no 2 with Rakza X Soft BH for coming season.
No. 1 and 4 will be kept for visitors on the home table I hope to get next yr!

1) Is that Yasaka Mark V rubber on both sides? What blade?

well, I primary use 2 when I'm not sampling new equipment.

how many blades (cpen) do I own, probably 10~15
how many shakehands do I own, probably 10+
I also have def blades (5 or so)

I have a lot of sampling, and some times for clients to test out (shake hand/def blades)
when I stop doing the blade/brand, I would donate the blades away.
some times I have sample rubbers, that I probably wouldn't want to use or sell, and would also donate those away.
I probably at the moment still have over 15 sheets of new rubbers requiring me to test.
and I still have sample rubbers cut to penhold to probably 20 sheets plus (which I can't donate, due to the cpen cut)

so how many do I have?
I don't really know

and I'm not an EJ

Yes, Mark V on both sides. It's a Yasaka factory racket so I'm not sure what blade they use, probably one of their middle of the road offerings. I read somewhere that it's the old Yasaka Gatien blade from the 90s but I don't know if that's true.... 🤷
