How many railcards could I have?

I have two railcards.
Gold Card, which is free with my annual season ticket.
Senior, which I get for £10 thanks to having a Gold Card.
Are there any others I could get, and make use of?
I don't qualify for a Disabled card, and I live in Sussex so that would rule out any that require proof of residence.

Many thanks for the tip about Scotrail Club 50.
Are there any regional or local railcards which don't require proof of residence?

You could also get a Network Railcard, but don't think it offers any additional benefits that the Gold Card doesn't already offer.
The Gold Card isn't valid on Avanti or LNER, whereas the Network Railcard is. Probably only relevant for those who regularly travel between London and Milton Keynes or Stevenage though.

You could become a member of the Friends of Settle Carlisle Line which would then allow you to purchase a Dales Railcard (without the normal residency requirements).

It wasn't very clear from the lack of punctuation in Wallsendmag's reply, but there is also a Club 50 available from Greater Anglia.

To be that person...

The answer is unlimited. You could hold one, twenty, five-hundred, a million Network Railcards, for example! :p

Could I make use of a million Network Railcards?
If each one came with a free Network day ranger, then I could possibly make use of 365 a year. But they don't (sadly!) so I wouldn't make use of them.
I might, conceivably, use the Scotrail or GA Club 50, for example. But even then that would be just one card per year.

At one point last year I held:

An Annual Gold Card
A Network Railcard
Three Two Together Railcards
A Family & Friends Railcard
