5 Things I Did In The Hobby Last Week

Good Morning Coffee Card Friends!

*takes a sip*

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:
Matt's World Of Fun! - YouTube

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. 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.

*takes this posts final sip*

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

Where Did They Go?

As I sit here tonight, without coffee because it's a little late even for this coffee loving blogger, I have spent the last two hours cleaning out my email since Google claims it was full, when I have kept it cleaned out.

Or thought I did.

Upon deleting as many emails as Hillary Clinton, I noticed some of those blogger comment email notifications in the mix that you get when someone leaves a comment on your blog. Before deleting them, I read some of them for nostalgia's sake. As I read on, I started to see names of commentors I haven't seen comment in many years that used to all of the time.

Which led me to wonder, Where Did They Go?

Names like,

• Madmax,
• SumoMenkoman 
• Collecting Cutch 
• P-Town Tom
• C.erne33 
• Kyle Herring 
• Twitch 
• Trevor P 
• Scribbled Ink 
• Julie Owens 
• Tony Burbs 
• Madding 
• CommishBob 
• Daniel
• GCA 
• JayrCards 
• Trevor Gaffney
• aa8a5804-8a87-11e2-ad83-000bcdcb8a73 (always an odd name, but used to comment a lot)

I am not sure if they all retired from blogging, gave up reading my blog or ran out of time to comment. Whatever the reason, I miss seeing their thoughts, but just hoping overall they are all doing well.

*finishes up thoughts on how to close tonight's post*

*yawn*

It's about time I head to bed, almost 11pm where I am, and I am not a night owl like Night Owl. Yes Greg, I am talking about you :)

I did finish cleaning up my email inbox and hopefully have it cleaned up enough for a while, though I didn't mind taking the stroll down memory lane tonight.

Hope everyone has a great night's sleep and for those of you that still comment, thank you.

*yawn*

*big yawn*
