Optimism is a good thing, then again so is realistic. I am both all at the same time. My glass is definitely half full (not half empty). I was supposed to be going to the local Villages card show today. They only do 3 a year (every 4 months). Tomorrow I had been planning for 6 months to go to the Collectibles show in Deland it is HUGE (they do 2 a year). Alas, I am not doing either. I will have to wait until January to do both again.
You may ask why? I have the Flu! Taking the high road and staying home so as not to get anyone else sick. I believe I have crossed from the worst of it to the backside recovery part, still a very snotty nose though. Maybe TMI there, but it is what it is. I could be all down in the dumps, but I am not per say. Sick yes, not messing with my cards too much. Just getting some rest after all, I have been burning it at both ends for months now trying to get stuff entered into TCDB. I will update you all on that now.
Braves first: I haven't been adding much into the system in regards to Braves lately. I am still 564 cards behind that other guy.
Total unique cards in system: I moved up the ranks to #29 a jump of 6 spots from last month.
Total baseball: I up'd that by 1 spot moving me into #16. Pretty soon I'll be in the top 15 and then the top 10.
Gaming" jumped 12 spots to #149 (I only have 3,467 cards in this category).
Non-Sports: I stayed the same for 3 months now siting at #23 with 25, 217 unique cards.
Now it is time to see what you see in the shadows.
A Gazelle?
Because I am not participating in any hobby activities this weekend, scans are on the short side. I should be good for a week as it is right now. I will have to remedy that as soon as I am well enough by 1) visiting Grand slam (my LCS), and by 2) hitting up at least 1 of those Tampa area card shows.
We'll see :)
Have a great weekend people!
Hope you get better soon. Staying away from others and rest is key. You are doing the right thing. I see a sea horse, a Vikings hat with horns, and a crab. Enjoy the time all!
ReplyDeleteget well soon! sorting cards will take your mind off being sick.

DeleteSorry to hear you’re sick during two big shows but sounds like you made the right decision to not get anyone else sick!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the card count and to think you are in the top 20 of all baseball collectors! That’s impressive!
A. I try to be optimistic and realistic too. But gotta admit, sometimes I can be pessimistic about certain things.
ReplyDeleteB. Hope you feel better soon.

Feel better soon! I saw a ram's head, the "flaming eye" tower from Lord of the Rings, and a wig
