Well I just finished the great football purge and addition to the site.  Now all my football cards are listed here.  I am getting rid of over 4000 football cards I had in my collection.  Tons of stuff added FS/FT.  Football and Hoops are now completed. Now I must decide if hockey or baseball is next.  Those are the 2 largest.  Scanning all cards needed as I move through this certainly slowed my progress but I do feel such as sense of accomplishment doing it the right way.  

I learned a few things along the way.  I was not a neat or careful collector.  Horrible top loaders, nasty penny sleeves worn out boxes and everything just thrown into boxes if it was worth $1.00 or more at the time.  I think i threw a 1000 top loaders out because of yellowing, stickers or cracks.  Now Football and basketball collections are clean, organized and I'm getting some room back on my shelves.  

Well done! I vote you do baseball next :)

Nice work.  I think it took me a year to get to 50% on my baseball cards. There were boxes that were full of random cards. That really slowed me down. My thought was not to count and list a set until I got them all together. I did not want to wind up, keep going back, to add other cards that would pop up. That alone took months.

I've also found out that when you think you're done, you're not. It's a never-ending game and you just live with it. lol 

I'd vote hockey but I never have much that you need :-(
