January stats

If you've been around here for awhile, then you know how much I love my stats and as much as this is a show off what I got kind of blog, it's technically not. I don't necessarily post for everyone else, I post to have a record of what I've received which is why it looks like a show off what I got type of blog. I decided, then forgot, that I was going to do a post at the beginning of each month of the additions for the previous months. So this morning, I worked on the stats part and got my January numbers organized (and the previous 13 years by month) before starting my sorting. I also logged in my card show pick ups which you'll have to wait one more post for.

My numbers are as follows for the month of January.

• I added 298 total cards.
• 3 cards to my Tier 1 player collections.
• 21 cards to my Tier 2 player collections.
• 53 cards to my Tier 2 Michigan player collections.
• 15 cards to my Tier 3 player collections.
• 144 cards to my Michigan team collection.
• 80 cards to my Chicago White Sox team collection.
• 27 cards to my Vintage collection
• 4 cards to my Team Card collection
• I paid a total of $150 for the month.
• I added $65 to my tab.

If you noticed, the numbers didn't add up. That's because some of the cards go to multiple collections, example an 1985 Topps Tom Seaver would go to Tier 1 because it's Tom Seaver, Chicago White Sox because it's a White Sox card and Vintage collection because it's 1985.

I also only paid out $150, I do have a tab with Sluggo but I only count what I actually paid out which is $150. If next month, I put $50 down on my tab, it'll show as paid out in February.

It was my 3rd highest count in regards to the month. The reason 2011 is 0 is because I hadn't started my blog yet so I didn't know what I picked up that month. I didn't start tracking until sometime in 2012 but I backdated with the blog to when it started. I still have a lot of unknown ones because I didn't show everything I received back then.

Where we are, so far.

This is total cards added by year. I have a long way to go to catch up with last year, which I doubt I'll ever add that many in a year but after one month, it's my lowest year, so far.

This is money spent by year. I couldn't add the totals at the top of each bar because it was too crowded to read. This graph shows the $150 spent as well as the $65 added to the tab so it shows $215 total spent so far this year which is already higher than I spent in 2011, 2013-2015 and 2017. 

I don't know if you'll enjoy this post at all but I did. I'll be back with cards in the next post,
