2018 was (is) my 50th Anniversary in the card collecting hobby. I consider August 1968 as the beginning of my collecting. When I first took my weekly allowance (a Quarter) to the local 5 & Dime. I'd buy a few packs of cards and the newest Spiderman comic.
So I decided a year ago, that as a way to celebrate my 50th Anniversary in 2018 I would strive to help other members reach their collecting goals. I've spent the year scouring forums, user's lists, and Wantlists in the hopes I had at least a card or two a member could use.
I created a private user list called 2018 Goals. It was for my personal use to keep track of the "who" and "what". A good thing I did. A few times throughout the year while pulling cards for a trade I found some to be missing. Then I'd look over my user list and find that I had given it away and forgot to remove it from my Trade list.
I decided last week that I'd open my user list to the public for my last "12 Days of Giving".

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

Trust me, I can sympathize with the amount of work involved in your Card of the Day list.
