Do Not Bend

Good morning, Coffee Card Enthusiasts!

*takes a sip*

Yes, I am doing back-to-back posts!

Today's is a basically a follow up to yesterday's post, so it makes for an easier post. 

In case you missed yesterday's post, go check it out so you won't be too lost for this one. Basically, I have been doing my downsizing project continuation.

As I have been making my piles, I figured while the cards are sitting up, I will pack up Christmas cards as to. That way when it's time to mail, they can go out and it won't have to worry about finding time to do so during a busy time in my fall semester.

 

I have protected these PWE's the best I can including putting Do Not Bend on both the front and back of these envelopes. I don't seem to have too many issues with these being sent like this.

If you have gotten a mail day from me around Christmas before, you will be getting another. Some of you will have multiples and this goes for both bloggers and non-bloggers.

These should hit the mailbox by the end of October. I still have a few more to pack up before doing so, I plan to have those ready in the next week or so. Roughly twelve of these will head out in October and then of course the large flat rate box.

My personal mailbox has been really slow with getting mail so I don't have a lot to post about. I will see what I can find to post just so I can have some new ones up before I go on another hiatus.

I hope everyone has a terrific Tuesday.

5 Things I Did In The Hobby Last Week

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. 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.

*takes this posts final sip*

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.

Have a great Thursday!
