The Blogger National 2026

*sits down, takes a sip of coffee. opens keyboard, begins to type today's newest post*

The last four years I have posted a Blogger National for those of us who can't enjoy the experience of actually being at the The National Sport Collectors Convention. That way we can still connect with one another without spending the big bucks to do so. Though I would love to sit down, have a cup of coffee and talk cards with you.

*takes a sip, tips mug towards computer screen hoping you will return the favor*

For the second straight year, I am posting this right on time and hope you will join in on this blogger bat around. The past few years I have had very few actually join in.

Here's hoping for the biggest year yet. First, what's this all about,

What is the Blogger National? Well, it's a blog-bat-around where you just take one post (or multiple if you so choose) in the next few days and dedicate it to showing off your coolest cards or your most favorite cards or a recent mail day you hadn't posted yet using the blog post title, The Blogger National 2026.

I want you to try to find the cards that are show worthy to you. You know, the dazzling cards that would attract all of the people over to your table (blog).

For example, I just got a dazzling mail day yesterday from the legendary Dennis from Too Many Verlanders blog. I was not expecting a mail day from him at all as he kept this one quiet. 

I like sneaky mail days and fun sneaky mail days that include everything I like.

So, now I invite you to come check out my table,

Now if these didn't catch your attention, well, you don't have good taste and move onto the next table. Just kidding, you will now owe me a coffee now.

Thanks Dennis for another amazing mail day!

I am hopeful many of you will join in on this.

And for those of you who read this and don't have a blog, feel free to post your cards on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Bluesky, YouTube,) and use the hashtag (and tag me if you want), #TheBloggerNational2026. I will be on the lookout for that hashtag on all social media platforms. Well, except TikTok. I haven't joined that at all yet and don't plan to.

Hope everyone has a great time with this, and you can leave your blog link in comments so I can read it as well if I happen to miss it with my busy schedule!

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

*Coffee Card Blogger Out*
