Trying to get this SportLots box shipment processed in here. There's some traders in there so the sooner I get this done, the sooner I can open trading again. 

I went to a local card shop about a week ago and grabbed some cheap packs to open.  3 packs of 1992 Stadium Club, 2 packs of 1989 Topps, and a pack of 1990 Fleer.  Set me back about 3 dollars.  I like to get cheap packs when I can as I enjoy opening cards but new cards have just gotten too expensive.  Haven’t had a chance to log them into my collection yet though.  I haven’t opened a traditional wax pack in a very long time so I had forgotten about wax stains.

I’m still working on getting my collection on here lol. On binder 7 of 13

I entered about 150 Notre Dame football and Blackhawk hockey cards I purchased from comc.com. 

Finished off the year with some Tim Hortons cards including the 2 I needed to finish off 2021-22 Upper Deck Tim Hortons Team Canada and the 2 to finish off 2021-22 Upper Deck Tim Hortons Team Canada - UD Canvas Moments

Last cards I purchased for 2022 were 5 different early '90s Star sets of Hakeem Olajuwon.

Last cards I physically opened were 10 packs of Lion King cards with my 7 year old daughter — though technically they are for her collection not mine!

I finished the year by inputting my 1993 Upper Deck baseball cards, which included a series 1 box that I bought back in '93 (almost no bricking!) and a series 2 jumbo box that I spent most of the month unbricking.

Bought two 1956 Topps baseball needs to reach 60% completion (technically 59.9% but I'm rounding up.)

Also got new binders/9-pocket pages, organized/labeled my entire collection, and ordered a bunch of set fillers. No "grand finale" card this year but the organization will help me narrow my focus in 2023.

Finished my 1993 leaf subset of Frank Thomas and 1993 score select and 2007 bowman set.

going to try and finish a couple others this year

My family gave me a hobby box, 4 blasters and the MVP factory set for Christmas. My best friend also sent me a big box of a little bit of everything but a lot of Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he wanted to see them rank #1 on my collection here. (mission accomplished). However, my brother woke up sick on Christmas morning and think I stood too close to him because I ended up getting sick a day later. I'm still sick but at least I'm not sleeping 12 to 15 hours at a time anymore. Mom also ended up getting sick, it's been rough here. I'm not touching any cards until I get rid of this cold so I haven't even seen my new additions since I looked at them on Christmas morning. I'm having withdrawls.
