A little of this and a little of that.

 I just figured out the reason my Braves aren't winning. I wasn't using my Blue text font. So this should fix it, lol. 



last month when I met up with reader Bill at the card shop in Ormond I picked up some Braves.




I pulled the Braves team set out of the dime boxes, not that I needed them because I already had them sitting in my SLOTS (Sport Lots) box. The Waldrep auto was NOT in the dime boxes. I forget what I paid, but was probably 2-3 bucks. 

I finally got in that HUGE Slots order Saturday. 668 cards (a few were missing), but nearly 500 new to me Braves. I have sorted them, marked them off of my excel sheets (still need to remove them from my webpage), and finished putting them into TCDB yesterday. The team stat check updates daily, but go figure I added 500+ Braves and got just under 550 cards away from that #1 spot (according to my math). Rather it should have. It has been 24 hours, his numbers jumped up 50 cards (uh huh), and mine hasn't changed yet. Still shows me 1000 behind him. Every single card I put was a completely new to me Braves card, so not one of them was already in the system as a set build or PC anything like that. I'm telling you there is some funny stuff going on there (I've been saying that for 2 years now). 

Have a great night. I might update this tonight before publishing (it is early in the morning right now).

UPDATE: My cards finally got bumped up (31, 893 unique Atlanta Braves) This excludes all of the other Braves listings. His bumped up 3 more bringing him to 32, 447. This leaves me 554 cards short (for now). If the last 2 years has taught me anything, my guess his numbers will jump 500 cards before the month is done.

  2. Your Braves collection is larger than my entire collection! Good luck on getting to #1, seems like there may be some database issues or something?

  3. Nice cards, especially the parallels. I don't think I am in the top 100 in any category. Very impressive numbers for you in your quest for number one. Have a great night all!

  4. A. Congratulations on the blue text and the Braves win.

    B. The hobby can always use a great conspiracy theory. In all seriousness... I hope your Braves numbers jump up and close the gap on #1. Regardless collecting 31,893 unique Braves is an amazing accomplishment.
