So close

I occasionally go to TCDB just to see what sets in my vintage collection that I'm close to completing and then see what they have to see how close I can get. Today's post was one of those purchases.

I was pretty close to finishing the 1985 Fleer set so I grabbed all of these to get me so much closer. After adding these 12 cards, it only leaves me missing 11 to finish the set. Most of those names are more than my usual $.50 but I'm sure I'll pick them up sooner rather than later.

Valentine’s Day

I tried to tell you how behind I was.  My wife picked up a few packs for me on Valentine’s day.  Nothing for my collections but here are the highlights of the packs.  All are available for trade.

I started pulling my Sox cards out of their binders to put them in set order.  I think I’ll do want lists for the base of the major brands instead of every Sox card.  I’ll still take every card, but my collection focus is going to change a bit to completing team sets.  Maybe eventually, I’ll even finish my want lists.

I logged into my Google Reader today to over 7000 posts.  Not all are sports related and some are pics and twitter feeds so some I can fly through.  But that will give you an idea how far behind I am.  I’ve noticed I missed a few contests and some other things (Barry Larkin card voting) so I’ve divided them into folders and all my card blogs are in one folder, and that was still over 500 posts.  But now I’m going to read all those before I do anything else.  I mean, you have to have priorities right.  So hopefully in a day or two, I’ll be caught up on all your blogs.  You probably haven’t missed me, but I’ll pretend you have if only to stroke my ego.  I did get through a couple of hundred while at work today (it was a little slow).  So either I need to read more, or all of you need to stop posting till I get caught up.  Yeah, I figured, I’ll start reading more.
