5 Things I Did In The Hobby Last Week

(I know I said this segment was gone, but I kind of missed it and the interactions so it's back for now. Give it some love if you can so it can stay!!) 

*coffee is ready and so am I for another new post on Cards Over Coffee*

*waiting for you to get coffee in hand*

*takes sip, gets ready to post*

Welcome to the next edition of 5 Things I Did In The Hobby Last Week. I almost got rid of this segment but decided I would keep it for now. Hopefully there will be more interaction, or it could be axed over the next few episodes.

For now, let's keep it rolling!

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/accomplishments they did for the week.

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:

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 finally got my lightbox out and took over 200 photos that I spent last night uploading into Big Blue Cardboard and Cards Over Coffee. (you will see this card again, just as an example for this post)

  

3. I replied to your comments from a month ago. Aren't you proud?

4. I opened a box of cards for only the third time this year. This time it was a hanger box...but you will never guess which one until I post it....hopefully soon.

5. I made a couple of trades and gave away some cards. Felt accomplished. I still have a stack of Christmas mail days that will start going out I believe the end of October as I don't want them to get caught up in the mail traffic.

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

I hope to keep this series going again!

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.

2. I finally sat down, did the numbers....

 

And updated them again!

  

3. I took some pictures for the blog to do some posts. Which by now you have read some of them.

4. I have been making sure to read all new blogs posts on my blogroll and trying to comment on as many as I can since I have been having extra time sitting around from shoulder surgery.

5. I haven't gotten a lot of mail days recently, so have been taking notes on what kind of posts I can do until my mailbox starts seeing cards again. Hard to trade with one arm and one stamp.

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.

2. Once again, I sat down and updated my numbers.

 

However, they no longer look like this. I made a tab like the Coffee Break one at the top of the blog where you can now find them. Go check it out! These are the officially updated as of today numbers. I have also removed the PWE trade tab, there was zero interest in that and trading in general.

  

3. I did some more serious sorting!!!!

. 

I have officially broken everything down and have been putting it away slowly as I go. It's been a busy school break, and I have been taking full advantage!

4.I had another huge mail day show up that I had to sort and break down as well. This took some time. This was a donated box of goods from a long time Twitter friend who was just looking to unload some stuff and I said I would take it on. Some of these will make their way to new homes such as the girls' basketball cards that will find the girls in the fall/winter.

5. I have commented on other blogs, replied to comments on here and have taken a few pictures for future posts so I will be ready.

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.

and finally updated them all on here. There will be another update on top of this one to come!

  

3. I did some sorting!!!!

. 

I finally broke down the package that came from blog reader Grady M and sorted it out. It was a long but fun process. I also had to count all incoming cards which is why number two on this list will need to be updated again.

4.I made a weeks' worth of posts and commented on other blogs as well. I need to take the time next week and reply to everyone's comments.

5. I gathered cards and pictures I want and am taking for future posts. I won't be able to do this once my shoulder surgery is set to happen so I need to get on top of that now so I can actually post this summer still.

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

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

*takes a sip of fresh brew*

I can't believe it's been since the end of March since I last posted one of these, so let's see what I did in the hobby the last couple of weeks.

Hopefully now that I will be slowing down for three weeks from school, I can get some new posts up and get caught up from the stack of mail and card sorting I have to do.

Without further ado, here are the 5 things I did in the hobby last week,

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.

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

2. A couple of weeks ago, I sorted and bagged up more cards for my girls AAU team. Each girl got a baggie with cards-including Caitlin Clark because our team's name had Fever in it-stickers and matching wristbands which we all wore for the weekend games.

 

3. I finished a bigger trade with a Twitter friend. I had to go through tons of pictures and circle cards I wanted. It was basically a big trade for base.

. 

I am hoping I can finally get some cards out to blogging friends soon for pwe trades! My mailbox has been too empty recently.

4.I uploaded some pictures on here to blog about, now to find time to blog about them. I did put up a couple new posts last week; they didn't really hit. No comments, low views, I wonder if my long break hurt them. Hopefully new posts next week won't have those same issues (or today's).

5.I have been commenting on other blogs when I have had time in-between to do so. Either way, I have read all of the new blog posts regardless of if I have time to comment or not.

And there you have it. Five things I did in the hobby last week (or month).

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

2. Eli Manning updated on TCDB!

 

It took me a good hour, but I finally took the time to update all of my Eli Mannings onto TCDB! That felt like quite the accomplish.

3. I did some blogging!

 

Besides a couple of posts on here, I have been putting a few posts up on Big Blue Cardboard, my NY Giants blog. You can subscribe and check it out HERE. My next job on there is to update that blog like the Giants have updated their team. Daboll era is over!

I have also put a few random posts up on Sport Card Collectors. Once again, this is my main blog now, but I am keeping that one alive the best I can with the time I have.

4. Did some trading! For some reason or another, I decided to do some bigger amount of cards trades. Shipping won't be cheap and I swear this will be the last time for a lonnnnggg time.

5. Commented on other blogs and replied to ones made on here and Big Blue Cardboard. I am always replying to readers.

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

(sorry no pictures to post this week for this post)

2. Hey, I finally added a PWE Trade Page on here!! It tells you what I am looking for in return, the cards I have available with more on the way and rules on how to trade with me! Hopefully this works out like I envisioned! Check out what's been posted HERE for now!

3. I have posted almost every day this week!! Will tomorrow end the streak? We will see how much time I have after I get my school work accomplished.

4. I have been commenting on as many blogs I can. I love to read every post, but I don't always have time to leave a comment or at least something insightful. Hopefully that will change once this semester ends in May. I will get two weeks off.

5. I opened up some wax for the first time in what felt like an eternity! I will be showing off what's inside of some newer football products soon! Stay tuned for some new Coffee Breaks coming up!

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

Trending This Week In My Hobby

I am always looking for new segments or new types of posts to use on this blog. One of my favorite segments on Sport Card Collectors was Trending This Week In My Hobby which showcased what I was into collecting for the week, since my collecting habits seem to change on a weekly basis.

Since this blog is my go-to blog now, I thought it would be fun to move that segment to here to pair up weekly with 5 Things I Did In The Hobby Last Week to give me two easier, but fun posts that I may be able to tackle on a weekly basis. 

Of course, for any posts big or small I still have to put school work first, then blogging.

This week will kick off the first one on here so it will be the ground basis for this new segment.

Here is what to expect from it, today I will be posting my Top 10 things I have been either adding or seeking the most or in other words what has been trending in my hobby, hence the name. Next week, the list could change and some things could disappear with new things added or move up and down my interests.

You just never know.

So, the next post will feature the list of stuff for that week and then will compare it to this week for a breakdown of the trending ways and why. If I have an explanation for it.

Hopefully I will.

Without further ado or more rambling, here is the very first list of what's trending in my hobby this week,

1. 2025 Wild Card Splat Eli Manning Cards
2. 90's Inserts Any Team, Any Sport, Any Player specifically 1995-99
3. Ken Griffey Jr Cards
4. Jaxson Dart Cards
5. NY Giants Cards
6. Eli Manning Cards
7. Rodney Hampton Cards
8. Non Sport Autograph/Relic Cards
9. Allan Houston Cards
10. Mikaela Shiffrin Cards

And that's it, I am digging it. 

The 2025 Wild Card Splat Eli Mannings are the most sought after for my collection right now and you will see why at some point. Ken Griffey Jr and 90's inserts are coming in strong as well and we will see how strong they come in for next week. Will they overtake #1?

I am certain some of these will move up and down before next week and maybe even off the list. We will have to wait and see which ones do.

In comments today, tell me what is trending in your collecting  and what you are seeking the most this week.

Hope everyone has a Magnificent Monday.

2. I separated more cards that need to be updated on TCDB.

 

 These will definitely fill up my collection numbers on there when I have time to update them.

  

3. I separated my trade stuff for my usual crew.

. 

Now I just need to find the time to send some of this out. Maybe over the next few weeks I can find time.

4. I have been commenting on as many blogs as I can when I can.

5.I uploaded over sixty pictures on this blog for future posts. I should have content for a little while when i can find the time to add words to the pictures.

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.

2. I bagged up all of the cards to hand out to my girls basketball team that were both donated and from my own collection. They turned out to be a big hit!

  

Side note, my party went great even though I did blank handing out the custom shirts to them and trying to remember what I wanted to say about each girl.

  

3. I finally packed up a few PWE trades! I have so, so many more to mail if I can find the time.

. 

I have a few bloggers I want to send to and a couple other friends. Hopefully can get to those soon.

4.I got rid of the stack of cards that were in front of my TV stand for months. Only problem is, I moved them from in front of the TV into a box to be taken care of at a later date. So, I got rid of one mess to make another basically. These are the cards I also need to add to my TCDB collection so I did keep them by their stacks to make that easier when I have time.

5. Since I made those PWE trades, I had to dig stuff out, which meant I had to put stuff away they weren't interested in. Usually I let that sit around forever, this time, I just took care of all of it without having to create the mess in my card area again.

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.

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*

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.

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

2. Hey, I updated the blog with two new exciting things off to the right side of it. Well, exciting for me at least.

I want to keep track of my cards in 2026. The amount I get in, the amount that I ship out and the amount that gets traded. This should be fun.

 

3. Well, I pulled off my first big trade of the year and it wasn't cards for me in return.

.

I traded all seven of these away to land a cool gift for each of my basketball girls. I sacrificed a lot here for them, hopefully they enjoy the gift I have for them.

4. I began sorting some of my newer add ins into piles to be marked off on TCDB. Now to sit down and find the time to accomplish it.

5. I have kept my card room clean, mainly because I still don't have time for cards and start school again on Monday. But, anytime I have added anything, I am quick to now put it in the right section so when I have time again for cards they will be ready.

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.

Have a Super Sunday and in comments, tell me five things you did in the hobby last week or make a comment on mine.

5 Things I Did In The Hobby Last Week

 HELLO FELLOW COFFEE CARD ENTHUSIASTS!

*takes a sip*

Another week has come to a close and last week I felt I did the most I have done in awhile for the hobby. As I have figured out a better balance to my life and hobby life I have found myself spreading thin all around but I am finding time for everything at least last week.

*pauses with a sip, then continues on*

This series has done well on here so far and I love reading the answers and interactions from you guys on this post. Keep it up!

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

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:

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

2. I finally did some sorting!! That's right. I took one night for an hour and busted through a huge box of cards that have been needed to be sorted since June!

I still have more to go in Step one of my sorting process, but it's a start!

3. I opened up some wax! I don't want to share any pictures yet on the pulls or which products I opened, there will be a series on it and the final post to the series I will need your guys opinions on what and how I did. I will also say I didn't buy this wax, they came to me another way. Which is why there will be a series.

4.I pulled off a couple more pwe trades. I haven't gotten the cards yet in the mail so those posts are still to come.

5. Some more Christmas piles have been added to. I just need to find the time to get these in the mail box and on their way out. It's very time consuming to pack these up.

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.

5 Things I Did In The Hobby Last Week

HELLO FELLOW COFFEE CARD ENTHUSIASTS!

*takes a sip*

I have been trying to set aside some time to put up new posts and it seems to be working....for now. I am in the final stretch of my first semester so I may need to stay focused to get to the finish line which is December 15th with no break in-between.

Yes, that means doing homework during Thanksgiving week.

I also have a busy life and basketball has started as well so a lot of things to do in such little time. I will say the first open court gym practice we had with all of the 3rd/4th grade girls in the district went really well and I see a lot of potential in this group regardless of who I actually get on my team at the end of the month.

It's been a challenge to say the least to balance everything out, but, I am holding my ground the best I can.

I was actually even able to do five things in the hobby last week and here is what they were,

*pauses with a sip, then continues on*

I have only done three posts in this segment so far because I have been too busy to do this on a weekly basis, the last one was in June, but I wanted to let you know what this series is about if you don't remember or if you are a new reader.

2. I finally was able to update some numbers on TCDB and add new cards to a few of my collections.

Jaxson Dart

 

Victor Cruz

3. I started work on getting together some WNBA cards to hand out to my girls when the basketball season ends. It was a big hit last year and I think it's another way to grow the future of collecting.

4.I started to initiate some pwe trades and even a bigger trade for a card I want pretty bad. Let's see if I can pull it off.

5. Some Christmas piles have been added to. I just need to find the time to get these in the mail box and on their way out. It's very time consuming to pack these up.

5 Things I Did In The Hobby Last Week

It's almost November! How crazy is that??! 

The good news is I have found some time this week to put together a few posts, but I ma heading into the final few weeks run of school which may delay me in posting more. 

But, I will do my best!

2. I took some pictures of my latest Eli Manning cards to post, but decided this was the post I would use those in.

3. Speaking of taking pictures, I spent an hour doing so along with uploading them to this blog to give me some new posts coming up!

4.I mailed out a couple PWE trades and began to send out my Christmas mailings. I sent two out for bloggers, both have already been received by them.

5. I began stacking cards into a pile to begin to sort at some point. I really have to finish this last run of school and basketball season starts November 3rd with open gym time for the girls, then practices in December and games starting in January. This year I am head coach so I put more on myself this year with that added responsibility. However, be ready for updates on my games as a first time head coach.

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.

Have a terrific Tuesday and in comments, tell me five things you did in the hobby last week or make a comment on mine.

5 Things I Did In The Hobby Last Week

It's June already and it begins a very busy stretch for me. So, posts won't be too often from here until the end of summer.

*insert sad face*

This week alone I have a car appointment tomorrow, hoping it won't cost a ton, a doctor appointment on Tuesday and then I am off to Boston on another 8th grade trip I will be chaperoning. I am not sure if it will be as much fun as the trip to DC I took a couple of years ago, but I do know we will be watching the Red Sox and Angels on Wednesday afternoon. As a Yankees fan, Go Mike Trout!!

And it only gets busier from here on out.....but I will have my trusty coffee by my side.

*it's too late for coffee tonight, but the countdown til morning is on*

I have only done two posts in this segment so far because I have been too busy to do this on a weekly basis, the last one was in April, but I wanted to let you know what this series is about if you don't remember or if you are a new reader.

2.

I have put together some blog posts to publish on here this week and next, I didn't want to leave you guys hanging forever because I don't just want to put up quick posts anymore. I built this blog on a solid foundation and want to keep it there. I also made that promise after the 5th anniversary that I would never go back.

3.

I looked in my wallet and found my wallet card. He may be going to Boston with me this week, maybe even be included in some pictures. We will see.

4.

I finally sorted out my Grady M mail day into sections, now it's time to break it down from there and get it put away. There may also be a post on some of the fun finds later this week.

5.

PWE's! I spent Saturday night during the Knicks blowout packing them up. I have some being sent out for trades, RAK's (something I promised Jon from Penny Sleeves blog I would do) and future trades. Trying to stay ahead knowing what's coming up the next few months.

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

I don't think I will even get to five things this week or even next week with graduations and graduation parties going on and family visiting.

Hope everyone has a great, not as busy as I will be, week! Remember to take a sip for me!

5 Things I Did In The Hobby Last Week

It's April and this is my first post of the month and the first post in a while.

*coffee is in front next to the laptop, takes a sip*

There are a variety of reasons for this.

I have been busy. I haven't felt like posting. I have been spending my free time in my collection instead. And just simply haven't felt motivated to.

But, today, I have a new post to catch you up on five things I did last week. This series is once again related to Elon Musk's email to government officials asking them about what five things they did.

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

1.

I started work on my inserts and putting them away.

All four sports are separated by team then added to a box like the box above.

This isn't actually a hard job between all of the sorting ones I do. However, I still need to go back and penny sleeve them all. The problem is not having penny sleeves or the finances to get anymore right now.

2.

I put away my newest Kerry Collins adds and put them in the Kerry box. This box is getting a little tight so I may need to upgrade it.

3.

 

I tweeted out updates on my 2013 Press Pass Parks And Recreation autograph chase and my Marvel Purple Achievement PMG's collection. I am always hoping someone has one that I need for trade. I had zero luck this time.

4.

This one I am still working on. My NY Giants collection. These are all new adds that need to be put by player, checked for doubles with the ones I already had then add an updated number of how many I added to the collection. Each player has an index card I update.

5.

FINALLY caught up on all trades! This has been at the back of my mind for a long time and keeps coming back to haunt me. I finally took one night, packed them all up and don't owe anyone anything else now.

SUCH A RELIEF.

Now to work on the next round of trades with stuff I have pulled aside and not ones that I owe. Looking at you Night Owl, Dennis, Jon (need to find a few more things for you still) and Oren! Watch your mailboxes over the next few weeks.

I would love to also add a trade bait tab to this blog to see what others I can make. Right now, I am strictly PWE trading. Can't afford to mail bubblers unless it's a big card that I desperately need. This is just a dream for now. Same thing with my set needs tab that I have been wanting to add for years now.

*takes a sip before finishing up today's post*

I have a few more posts coming up that I hope to tackle soon that way I don't leave you guys hanging too long. I do know I also have a ton more sorting to go that's going to take a lot of focused effort.

Hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend.
