Good morning! I don't post a lot here in the forums, I'm mostly an avid reader. But I just wanted to take a quick moment to share a milestone in my collecting journey. Earlier this year, back in January, I set a goal for my personal collection to reach 3,000 unique Scott Rolen cards. That goal has been achieved!
I have used this site a lot over the past few years now. The checklists here are phenominal and I enjoy adding scans of cards to the database to potentially help others identify some of these cards.
If you find yourself with a few moments to spare, and care to read about the journey to 3,000 and the MONSTER of a card that marked that milestone, I just published a blog about it on my site: 3,000 Unique Scott Rolen Cards.

Tremendous!!! I read and commented on your blog! What a great collection. How do you organize them all? I have 1000+ Vlad Guerrero's in cases in a card cataloge.. That takes up 4 drawers and the fourth drawer isn't even organized into sleeves yet so I know it will take up five drawers likely or more just for 1000...

I'm mostly organizing over adding right now. |

Back in the day one would think there's no way that there are that many Rolen cards, but it's a real and quite admirable number these days. Congrats!

That is so cool and exactly what this crazy thing we do should be about. Not about flipping, making money or being your job. Collecting is a passion and you obviously have it. Congrats.

Always looking for Blackhawk hockey, Notre Dame Football, White Sox and Bears Stuff. I have a plaque in my card room that says, "I could have been a millionaire but my mom threw out my baseball cards". How apropos!!! Collecting Chicago Blackhawks Hockey, Doug Wilson Hockey, Chicago Bears Older, Notre Dame Football in their college jerseys and Chicago White Sox. |

Congrats. Always enjoyed looking at your collection and how it was displayed on the website. I'm closing in on Marino #4,000 so I know the journey. It seems I get most of the cards I need from other Marino collectors who are selling their collections. Hard to find rare 90s cards anymore.
