Well, I have reached the first minor milestone of 2026 and I reached it in February. It feels like it took awhile to get here, but, it's here.
It's card #50 of the year. Doesn't seem like many when you really break it down.
That means I am only averaging about 1.14 cards a day which I am sure is well below what everyone else is averaging.
I will need to work on this as the year goes on obviously.
You can check out my numbers anytime you come on here as they are updated daily in the right corner of this blog along with other coffee type decorations.

Now onto the reveal of Card #50 on the year.
It's the 1999 Topps Chrome Lords Of The Diamond LD8 of Juan "Gone" Gonzalez that I got from a Twitter RAK from user @CraigCaruso .
This is a new one for my Unfinished Cup set. I need to update the numbers on there soon so I know what's left to the chase.
Thanks again to Craig for the card, thanks for those of you also who are reading this today.
I plan on doing more mini milestone posts throughout the year.
In comments, tell me how many cards you have roughly acquired so far in 2026. I am curious to compare!
Well, I need to get back to school work and enjoy the last few sips of this current cup of coffee, *takes a sip*, of coffee remaining while I do it.
Have a fantastic Friday!

Looks like I've acquired seven cards since the start of the year.
ReplyDeleteJust as the saying goes, it doesn't matter about the size of them, its how great they are being used in your collection!
DeleteCurrently at 6 cards in 2026, 2 of which are duplicates.
ReplyDeleteOuch! Here I was thinking I was way behind everyone else. Seems like I am either ahead or on pace with others.
Deletea. Nice Gonzalez refractor. I've got the Gwynn and Maddux in my player collections.
ReplyDeleteb. I've picked up a few sets, so my number is kinda high and would take a few minutes to research. But if we're just focusing on singles, I'd probably say 20 to 30. Half were probably from a Sportlots order for a set build.
I still need both of those for my set! haha!
DeletePretty nice card for #50.
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteThat's a nice card. I've probably added like 30-40 cards since the start of 2026
ReplyDeleteSo I guess I am about average then so far this year.
DeleteIn trading efforts I have picked up 8 new to me cards. I have done 2 online purchases which would add a significant amount of cards. I'm not counting that. Enjoy the time and the coffee all!
ReplyDeleteI plan to count every card as the year goes along. I am just curious.
