go slow and enjoy it. It is suppose to be fun after all!

Picked up a steal of approx 7k Nascar cards back in mid-2016....

Adding to my multiple 1,000s I already had...

Took a temp job (which ran for 4 years+), so after a month or so,

let the cards sit idle for 5 years....

Got back to them last month...

Had most of the Basic Sets (mostly Press Pass and Action Packed) sorted and listed...

Now getting organized enough to start on the Chase cards.. stored mostly in 9 card sheets...

It's still like taking a bag of M&Ms, Skittles and Jelly beans dumped together and sorting them

by type and color....

Love every minute of it...

Retired Military, now with no job helps when I'm in the mood... :)

Yes the work thing gets in the way. I work 12 hour swing shifts. I dont get alot of time to organize. Few hours here and there. I usually work 6 days a week. I was just given about 100,000 cards from a coworker. Unfortunately they are all junk wax bit in great condition from what I seen. Shame none are in any type of order. I will still enjoy going through them and see if anybody wants or needs any of them.

I'm excited that would be a blast to sort.

what years and types and sports woot

That's why I now love pointless meetings now, I just listen while sorting out trades or entering some cards instead of trying real hard to pretend I'm not looking at my phone like I had to while back in the office.

Opening Day and Opening Week IS My Work, for the next ten days!  BLESSED to be Retired!!  Worked more than hard enough, since Age 10 (back in 1971 when I began collecting baseball cards) and just retired in 2019.  Getting my OPENING DAY Packs ready for this afternoon . . .

I retired 8 years ago. I still haven't caught up.

Do understand that the FUN never ends and One NEVER can totally catch up!  Certainly is worth trying!!        Yours in The Fun - Felix

Mostly baseball, some football. Very little basketball and no hockey. Which is what I collect. Late 80s early 90s. I haven't looked at most of it. I did see Topps, Score, and upper deck. No 89 UD so no griffey jr rookie, that was disappoining.

Work didn't get in the way for me and my card collecting, but life and actual cards did. I had to turn trades off due to a massive trade coming in (about 700 cards) and adding in all the other cards I acquired so far this year. It was just too much to deal with for incoming trade offers as well. Then my elderly dog had massive health issues last Tuesday as well. She is doing better now but still needs a lot of help from me. But I got all of the rest of the cards that needed to go into pages put away this week. I haven't turned trading back on yet, but if any of you want to check out what I have available, go for it and send me a PM. I'm ready to get back to trading cards now.
