What Am I Doing?!

What am I doing?!

Well, I am drinking midafternoon coffee while blogging on here. But shouldn't this be the last post with all of the recent ones and the countdown to the finale?

What am I doing?! Expanding a dying blog?!

You may have noticed this, but I have been able to post a lot more now and have gotten rid of the final cup countdown. Does this mean I have a change of plans on the end of this blog, potentially. But I will also admit I have the final post already scheduled and ready to go.

Does this mean I will follow through? Time will tell as we know, my mind changes often and situations do as well.

So I never know....

What am I doing?!

Also, in the last few days I re-opened up Big Blue Cardboard and Sport Card Collectors for possible new posts, most likely on Sport Card Collectors but both are open. So go follow, subscribe if you haven't yet on those blogs. Once again, WHAT AM I DOING?! Those are supposed to gone!!

On top of this, for some reason I started up two YouTube channels this summer/fall.

I can barely handle having time for one blog anymore, but for some reason I decided to jump onto YouTube. Maybe it's because its much faster to do a video than a blog post. Eight minutes compared to one hour is a huge time saver. y But, my videos on YouTube are also raw and doesn't include all of the graphics, edits and stuff the pros have. They are as real as they get.

I haven't had time to post many videos recently, but if you want to check out what I already have posted and maybe subscribe, they are here.

Cards Over Coffee YouTube Channel is for cards:

(111) Cards Over Coffee - YouTube

Matt's World Of Fun YouTube Channel is for everything else:

Once again, WHAT AM I DOING?!! Eating up all of my free time?!

On top of this, I have already run two Facebook accounts for over 10 years, Cards Over Coffee and Sport Card Collectors, along with a Coffee Card Guy Twitter/X account , an Instagram account Coffee Card Guy and for some reason felt I needed to get involved on Bluesky as well a few days ago with Cards Over Coffee. I don't know, had to be one of the cool kids, I guess.

WHAT IN THE WORLD AM I DOING?! This is a lot of social media!

I am also on TCDB as SCC and on Blowout Forums as Giantsphan and on Beckett forums. I don't remember my name on Beckett; think it was similar to Giantsphan. It won't let me sign in, at least I can't find a way to do so. It's been years since I posted there, same probably with these other places too.

By now you are even probably wondering, WHAT IS HE DOING?!

I don't really have a full answer on that. I guess you can say having fun when time allows me to. That's what life is supposed to be about right.

And coffee of course.

Slice Of American Pie:Facebook Founded

*takes a sip, gets ready for the latest Cards Over Coffee post!*

I am doing this post a day in advance since the internet is actually working, so I can pull off two posts in a row. Especially since I am a little backed up with cards.

I have a few mail days to post about, so I thought I would start with this one.

Recently I ran into some luck in my chase for the 2011 Topps American Pie set on eBay. 

I had been watching a few of the base cards I needed for the set and they ended for $1 each. Which was way cheaper than they normally end for. I saw that the seller also had others ending in a few days so I messaged them and said I would be happy to grab more of them for that price and he said let me know which ones. HOLY SMOKES!! So I grabbed the ones that normally end for a much higher price for the $1 each and I fit as many as I could for the small budget I was working with.

Including today's card, Facebook.

*takes a sip before showing off today's card*

The Facebook rookie card normally can be found a few bucks more so I was excited to land it for the price I did.

 

I can't imagine sitting around with a few buddies and creating the monster that Facebook has grown into. I don't use Facebook a lot myself, but I do daily check-ins. I find it handy to stay in touch with family you don't see often. Other than that and sharing a bunch of funny memes, that's what Facebook is for me. I don't even bother with the hobby on there, it's an ugly place for it.

But, the idea and concept on Facebook was brilliant. It's probably how the creater Mark Zuckerberg became so rich so fast. I wished I had the mind to create something so simple that it just rolls in the money.

If you have any of these cards in your collection and want to check and see if I need them for my set chase, CHECK IT OUT HERE to see my needs. I am creeping closer to completion on this one.

*takes a sip, wonders what can be done with coffee and cards...oh wait...I did a blog on that....what else...what else....*

Thoughts on my latest set add welcomed in comments and whether you use Facebook or not.

Before closing, I wanted to mention today's card adds were grabbed thanks to the Fetch App. I got another eBay gift card and am now up to $80 in them from using the Fetch app just by scanning receipts I normally throw away. If you are interested in earning gift cards for just scanning your reciepts, you can email me at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com and I will send you my code to earn you 2,000 free points. DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS. It's crazy easy and I didn't believe it at first either.

Hope everyone has a great Thursday.
