I have never posted my progress on here since joining July of 2018. This morning I marked Complete my 650th Trade. I started collecting in 1978. I had Complete Sets back to 1978 when I started. Since joining I have been able to Complete 1977, 1976, 1975, and 1974. I am making progress on 1972. That is Baseball, and with a purchase of a Walter Payton RC from a member, I was able to complete 1976 Football Set. I have completed many other Sets, but those would be some of the highlights.
My Collection has always been pretty organized and for years I had boxes of duplicates and a Beckett Album Price Guide with my needed Cards unmarked. I was setup to trade, but where does a man in his late 40s trade? I wish I had discovered this database years ago, and it was luck through a Collection purchase I stumbled across the Database.
When looking at my Profile you will not see much right now. I deleted a 118,000 Card Collection a while back and started over. I had my reasoning and sometimes I miss the info I had, but I have enjoyed keeping the Cards put away faster as they come in, and soon I should be back to that with even a little more organization with things.
Anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone on here and wishing you all the best in the New Year
Hal
