With paperwork all submitted, school textbooks ordered, and life calming down for a few days, I thought I would get some posts up before September 2nd when everything begins to ramp up and I won't have time to post on here.

The Great Card Cleanse Of 2025 Part 1
I did a thing.
It's something that I never thought I would ever see myself doing, I downsized my card collection.
*takes a sip of a freshly brewed mug*
For most of my card collecting life, I have always been about hoarding all of the cards that I could and that included a TON of base cards from EVERY sport. But, after trying to do a few trades recently, I am realizing what I have doesn't hold a lot of trade value or worth for me to hold onto any longer. Not to mention the size of my card area is shrinking with stuff I don't absolutely "love".
So, after a few conversations with my father, he agreed to take on any and all of my base cards I wanted to dispose of. In exchange for the cards, I would get cards of a lesser amount, roughly twelve that would make me happy.
Yes, probably in the long run I lost some "value" in trading as much as I did, but I gained space and a few cool cards, so it all worked out.
In between filling out paperwork for college, getting through many doctor appointments and whatever else life threw at me, I was able to work on card boxes.
And work, and work, and work,
All of the cards were sorted by team for every sport. I had to go through 5,000 ct, 3200 ct, and even 800 ct boxes in this project.

Underdog
*it wouldn't be cards over coffee without having both cards and coffee, so here we go*
Being an underdog means being someone or something that is thought to have little to no chance at winning something.
Or it may also mean you are watching a cartoon dog from the 60's fight crime.
I prefer the latter of the two. That was a great cartoon.
But underdog will soon be the role I will be playing again....once again, not the cartoon dog. I wished.
*takes a sip*
I have had another one of "those years" but haven't really posted anything about it on here like last year.I could be Kurt Warner level underdog with everything against me.

Unfinished Cup:1996 Zenith Noteworthy
I have so, so, so (times this by infinity) sets that I need to finish up.
There are some that are so close that I need to just finish so I can cross them off and move onto the next. But, instead, I end up adding more sets to that chase.
What is wrong with me?
While I wait for analysis on that question, I will show off another set that I need to finish that I am only a few cards away from completion on.

This Mail Day Was Rocky
It may say Buy, Sell, Trade on the thread name, but most of that thread is all about the SELLING aspect (my finances are not in order to do any buying), but there are some fellow collectors on there as well who still enjoy a good ole fashioned trade.

Worth The Year Wait
I have a circle of friends who I consider to be my top traders in the hobby which are the ones that I trade with most.
I also know some of them can't always mail right away, but I know when they do and when I get it, the wait will be worth it.
Just like my latest trade with @90snichefootballcard on Twitter. Bryan and I have been trading for years, roughly ten, and every time I get a mail day from him, it's incredible.
Bryan jammed packed this box with all of the goodies. There are actually more cards in here than it looks, I won't be posting them all because of this and just pulled out some for both blogs.

You Have To....
You have to collect this rookie...
You have to get that graded...
You have to break open that $700 box of cards...
You have to flip that...
You have to sell, sell, sell....
You have to follow this guy's tips....
You have to set up an eBay store...
You have to run stack sales....
You have to own this prospects autograph....
You have to, You have to, You have to....
I don't have to do any of that.
I like to live dangerously.
I like to collect and collect what I like.
And what I like is probably something nobody else wants, except you know what, me. And does that matter to me, nope.Because this was one of my favorite cartoons growing up and it means more to me than a red-hot prospect autograph.
