As most know my want list is very narrow. (Nebraska football) I have 58 matches per the report "my want list that matches on other members for sale/trade list" Out of them I have only 4 that may get a trade. I'm digging to find cards for them.

Is it worth my time to add baseball cards here as most members do not have cards I need for trades. I finished adding Roger Clemens and have added 4 others. I have done those for guys that asked me to do it. As of now they have not replied what they want.

I have pointed guys here from other sites when they ask want I have to trade. Lot eaier to add them here then to type out a list.

I have some more players that I'm thinking about adding plus some oddball stuff. Hoping to sell.

It's always a good idea to have an accurate list of what you have. You never know, another Nebraska Cornhusker fanatic may join and need some stuff you have listed.

In your situation, where your collection is very specific, I would say it's probably not worth it, unless you just have tons of free time. It's a lot of work. ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Yes that is the way I feel. I'm retired and have time until weather is nice and I can get the garden going. Snowing now and shoved 6 inches this morning. Hoping to help out other members here. Letting them know what I have. switzr1 wrote: In your situation, where your collection is very specific, I would say it's probably not worth it, unless you just have tons of free time.

Another suggestion might be to add some of your favorite Cornhuskers to your favorites, so other members can see some examples of Cornhusker players. After trading with you, I now know Ameer Abdullah was Cornhusker and shortly after realized Ahman Green was, too. I have some of those to trade if you're interested.

“It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, October 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped and summer was gone.”
