I can't seen to find a natural expression for "vast collection", as in:

> I have a vast collection of baseball cards.

Literally there is 莫大なコレクション, but that seems pretty unnatural and I don't see
it used online much. I know there are other adjectives like 巨大 or 大規模, but I
can't find a good combination. Also, I am not sure if 集まり would be better than
コレクション or if there is another common word pairing here.

What is a natual expression for "vast collection"?
How about [膨大]{ぼうだい}なコレクション?  
(And I thought of [収集]{しゅうしゅう} for "collection", but 「膨大な収集」 doesn't sound
good...)

> I have vast collection of baseball cards.

Your sentence would (rather literally) translate to:

> (私は)野球カードの膨大なコレクションを持っています / 所有しています。

Note that this sounds quite formal, and maybe a bit literary or stiff.

If you're looking for an expression that would be used in normal/daily
conversation, how about:

> (私は)野球カードをたくさん/いっぱい集めています。  
>  (私は)野球カードをたくさん/いっぱいコレクションしています。
