Good Morning!
It's been a couple of months since I last updated on this project of hauling and cutting back on my collection and today's is a doozy!
I have been realizing for quite some time that I have waaaaaaayy toooooooo many autograph and relic cards just sitting around that have no meaning to me other than taking up space.
So, what to do about that....well...every year I mail out a big box (he hits me back as well) to a former blogger and he runs an eBay store and what better gift than the gift of cards to sell.
This year, I will be giving him all the ones I don't need. Well not all, more on that in a second.
Along with that I will send him some personal items as well I have picked up throughout the year so it's not completely impersonal.
I have been adding when I have time all of the goods to this laundry basket.
First picture was this one taken about a month ago.
And just like that, it grew like the laundry you don't want to take care of.
This will take me awhile to pack up and sort out and I still have one more sport to go before I can do that.
Oh, and touching base back on some of these cards, I am pulling out some baseball autographs to pwe trade to readers of the blog knowing that most of my readers are baseball card collectors. I will have a tab at the top of the blog with all of those and what I would want in return. These are lower end autographs I don't mind sending pwe.
I will update that in a post when I get them listed on here. It may take a little time as expected.
I have more to go with this cleansing project but so far, I have emptied many, many boxes of stuff. It's been so great to clear up space and just keep the cards that I need and not so much hoarding anymore.
As always, thoughts are welcomed on my project and would love to hear if you have done anything like this before.
Don't forget to drink your favorite beverage as you comment and hope to see you back for the next part...and the next post.

It almost looks like your cards are in a rock tumbler or maybe a cement mixer.
ReplyDeletehaha! Yes, I can see that as well!
DeleteNice progress! I have very few autos/relics in my collection. Time to do laundry. How many cups of coffee do you need for that activity? I sell on eBay, but don't have a store. I need a refill please. Have a great day all!
ReplyDeleteI don't care much for the relics anymore. They aren't game used, it's lame
DeleteA. I went looking for a special Hello Kitty Starbucks mug yesterday morning and ended up buying an extra drink in the process. I'll be drinking a strawberry refresher on the drive into work this morning.
ReplyDeleteB. Hope you make some good money on selling those extras. I'm always purging cards. Haven't sold on eBay since the lockdown, but I do have a box that I might sell to my buddy who sets up at shows. Most of the stuff I don't want gets donated to Goodwill or taken into my classroom.
I am not selling them, they are going to a friend so he can sell them for himself. It's like a Christmas exchange, I give him a lot of stuff and he gives me a lot of stuff for my collection. It works out pretty well and I get to cut back on stuff.
DeleteI sold majority of my Basketball cards for the price of shipping recently on SCF.
