dettigersmlb (Aaron) and Beagleshortstop (Mark), thanks for your
comments. I have a lot of trade partners whose names are always
looked for when I check matches, and both you guys are there.
We've had 14 successful trades together and I hope to trade more
in '24. I'm mainly building the newer sets, if my local Walmart gets
any boxes, so hopefully when the 24 Topps comes out we can put
another trade together! We did trade in 2023, so both of you were
a part of the 478 completed trades, Thank You both!!

Impressive that you have taken all that time to compile the data. After sitting all day in an office looking at data, I just couldn't bring myself to do something similar, but the thought did cross my mind a few times. I also thought about opening a separate account at my bank so I could easily keep track of how much I am spending on postage. I didn't do this as I try to justify the cost of postage against the cost of what I would have to pay for the cards I am receiving at a card show. Anyway...congrats on all the trades...I know we have several...maybe we can get a few more in so I can get on the all-star list next year!!

Everyone I appreciate all the kind words.
Joshua, after starting the spread sheet project, it really was enjoyable. Since I trade a lot, I needed to track trades better, and I wanted to learn more of my trade partner names-not just usernames. I had all the info on one sheet, so I could see dates that I mailed, cost of postage, real names, user names, addresses, date received, and I put an x when feedback was left completing the trade. When I started here it was a little rocky, but I have made a lot of great trade partners and enjoy helping others build their sets and team sets. I'm doing the spreadsheet again this year, hope to make a lot of new trade partners and ship out a bunch of cards this year.
