5 Things I Did In The Hobby Last Week

Good Morning Coffee Card Friends!

Even though I have a ton of homework this week to do, I wanted to get a post up quickly.

It also allows me to update you on our last game.
Which as you can see went very well. And guess what....GIRL NUMBER 9 made her basket!! One game left on Saturday, one girl left!! Can I pull this off? We will see. I have drawn up two crazy plays to try and get things open for her and I hope it works. It will be a practice thing the next couple of nights.

I am hoping it will all work out. I will update you guys next week on that. Otherwise we are 4-2 currently and played a pretty dominating game. Our final opponent won't be an easy one.

*takes a sip hoping for the best*

Welcome to the next edition of 5 Things I Did In The Hobby Last Week. I am glad a few of you have reached out and let me know this is one of your favorite segments on here. I like information such as that.

But, for those of you that are new to this segment, here is the background to it:

This series is once again related/played on by Elon Musk's email to government officials in February 2025 asking them about what five things they did.

Also, once again, this is not about politics. I just liked the idea.

*its best to never post politics, make friends, not enemies*

Here we go onto my five things.

1.As always, I did a lot more social media posts across my planet of them. I started doing Rodney Hampton, Eli Manning updates along with small mail day posts on there since it's much faster to send out a social media message than putting up a big blog post.

If you want to catch up on stuff you missed out on, here is a list of all of my social media channels:Cards Over Coffee YouTube Channel is for cards:

Cards Over Coffee - YouTube

Matt's World Of Fun YouTube Channel is for everything else:

On top of this, I have two Facebook accounts, Cards Over Coffee and Sport Card Collectors,

Twitter/X: Coffee Card Guy

Instagram account: Coffee Card Guy

Bluesky as Cards Over Coffee

There you have that. Now go check me out on those!

2. I cleaned up the floor going into my card room. I just kept stacking and stacking and stacking stuff and not finding the time to get it off of the floor. This past weekend I took some time out to finally get it done.
    
  
3. With my end of year party next week for the girls, I started gathering some cards to give them.
.  
Some I have taken from my own collection, others have been donated by great people on Twitter/X.

4.I have been trying to trade more and by trading more that takes time.
 
So I have been pulling out trade stuff as I go along. Now I just need to finish up some of these trades and need to pack up others to make them official. Such a process. I wished I had time.

5. I uploaded some pictures in the drafts here for a couple new posts that will be typed up when I have time for them. I didn't take a screenshot of them because that would ruin the posts so I guess you will have to stay tuned!

And there you have it. Five things I did in the hobby last week.

I hope to keep this series going when I have time to post on it.

*takes this posts final sip*

Tell me five things you did in the hobby last week or make a comment on mine. I will make sure to read and comment back on all of them.

Have a great Thursday!

  4. Keep up the good work on everything. Hoping for a celebration for the final player to get a hoop.
    1. Completed a trade. Currently 96 completed. Will I make 100?
    2. Read and commented on many blogs I follow.
    3. Scanned and added some that were needed on TCDb.
    4. Organized a recent purchase. I don't usually buy, but when I do it must be a good thing for my collecting strategies.
