The Continuing Saga

The season of downsizing has continued.

If you are just reading about this, last year I made a big decision that I was finally going to start downsizing my collection.

First, it was unloading 75,000 base cards to my father. Then it went on to moving hundreds of relic and autograph cards and sending them to fellow blogger for trade around Christmas time.

And now, on Monday, my father came over for another visit and once again I took some time away from school to make a trade with him and continue the downsizing.

For about four hours, I dug through boxes again. Getting rid of base that didn't have any meaning and pulling out ones with great photography and from my favorite era of collecting, 1995-1999.

 

 

 

 

 

In the end, another whopping 14,403 cards left my collection. Yes, I counted them by hand so I can keep my numbers updated on here accurately. 

In exchange,

I added 41 cards. Yes, just 41 cards and nothing that is outstanding, just stuff I wanted.

Here are a few key ones,

Like I said, nothing outstanding, just stuff I wanted.

The important part with a trade like this is the amount of cards I was able to unload. I am sure there is more to come from this downsizing when spring comes around and I get the opportunity to get on spring break.

I have a ton of 80's sets that don't interest me and possibly some others as well. 

My next move is to update my numbers on here which will probably also mean another new small milestone post coming up.

My goal this year was to trade/send more cards out I don't want for my PC, then adding more that I actually do. I am on great pace for this.

I hope everyone is having a great Saturday.

In comments, let me know how you are approaching your collecting. Downsizing? Adding? Trading? Selling?
