Well, that means that you are a good stereo photographer.
How did I figure this out?  Here it is:

In the same issue of the "Stereogram" devoted to Mattie Sanford,
we read the following story:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO BECOME A GOOD STEREOGRAPHER

Dr. Paul Milligan of Salt Lake City tells the story of how Mattie
Sandord interested him in stereo. "Get a bag of marbles," she
said, "and everytime you take a picture, drop one.  By the time
you lost all your marbles you will have become a good 
stereographer."

PS. I tell people the same story... only instead of "picture" I
    say "roll of film". :-)  If I only had a marble for every
    roll of film I have shot... well... I would be loaded with
    marbles!!!
