2025 New Years Goals Check In #1

At the beginning of the year, I promised I would do some check-ins on my New Years hobby goals to keep myself accountable. 

Well, here we are.

So, let's see what they were and in red is where I am at currently.

• I need to sort out all of the cards I acquired or had taken out of binders in the last few months. Which is a fair amount. I am almost done with this. Just a few cards left!
• Put those cards away once they are sorted same as above!
• Start to finish some of the sets I started especially the 90's ones. I need to update all of the numbers and do some more unfinished cup posts on here to see if anyone can assist with those needs. Work in progress. I have numbers ready to add to a tab on here when I have time to do so along with some Unfinished Cup posts!
• The binder numbering project needs to be finished. I have another two shelves to finish at least. d This project is just numbering a binder and adding the contents to a notebook DONE!!
• Penny sleeve everything I haven't yet. This will take some serious time as I need to go back through some boxes to do this Need a TON more penny sleeves and need to finish sorting out what I have that way I can sleeve all at the same time.
• Binder my Eli Mannings that haven't been put away yet, fix the rest in the box Haven't begun this at all
• Clean up my card room. It's just a mess. I need it better organized to get to what I really need to get to. Somewhat began this. things are mostly put away, however, it's still not as organized as much as I hoped
• Do some giveaways as I haven't ever really done any on here. Haven't gotten to this yet either, maybe once I get to 100 followers on here
• Up my PWE trades especially among bloggers. If you are interested and have some non-sport, Ken Griffey Jr, Patrick Mahomes, Caitlin Clark, NY Giants, football rookies (can be vintage), 90's inserts/parallels from any sport,team, player and is 1995-1999 (shinier the better) and have a U.S. address, hit me up at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com. Just mailed some out, but, haven't had many bloggers contact me and I also haven't had time to post some trade bait. that time is coming by the end of the year


For PC:
• Reach 1,300 Eli Mannings. This is a very lofty goal. I haven't even reached 1,200 yet. Still not to 1,200 yet!
• Add some of my most wanted non-sport autos such as Ed O'Neil, Tony Danza, and Jon Heder. Not yet :(
• Try to fill in Rodney Hampton gaps of 2023 products. Many still on eBay sitting there that need to find a way to my collection Some have been added, a long ways to go still!
• Add more to my "other" PC's to move me up the TCDB board. Allan Houston, Micheala Shiffrin, etc. Haven't done

For Blogging:
• Decide if I can fit blogging into my schedule and continue blogging still haven't done this fully yet. it's been really hard focusing on one blog as I want to do all three but barely have the time to handle one. I need to just pick one and stick with it, but for now there will be posts on and off on all three
• Come up with new creative content tried a couple new things, they didn't hit it off
• Take away the sipping breaks and behind the scenes content? this has been on and off this year like today's post
• New blog layout? still thinking on this one
• Come up with new segments still thinking on this one
• Reach 500,000 views at 366,000, a ways to go by year's end
• Reach 80 followers lost a follower..grrrrr. so at 71
• Blog my Giants cards on Big Blue Cardboard since they don't fare well here? Reader's thoughts? Also goes with #1 on this list with time. did a few posts, haven't decided what works best yet

There you have it, my 2025 New Years Goals check-in.

Some good, some bad and some need a lot of work. Just like my weight loss goal. Some loss, some pizza and need to add to the work out.

Have a great Sunday.
