Leaning tower of Pisa.
You may know of it. I had piles of cards on my desk that were starting to look like this. Leaning to one side. Definitely not a good thing.
So I sat down last Saturday, and started sorting. Putting cards into plastic sheets. Moving stuff that should have been into boxes several weeks ago.
You may remember a 300 count lot of 1974 Topps that I purchased at a card show back in May (see the linked post if you don't). I spent a portion of Saturday starting an Excel checklist. It was only one week shy of 3 months. I also decided to put my 1973 Topps cards into sheets finally. I spent so much time between straightening up the crazy amount of piles and doing stuff around the house that I didn't bother posting. Blasphemy.
There were cards in piles that had been long forgotten about, such as this...
Or this:
I really like this insert, I may have to look for more |
Even Pops went MIA for a time.
I'm sure that there's more where this came from. There's only about 18 more piles to go through. Maybe if I get a dozen or so of those piles of the desk I'll have room to start some trade piles.
Here's hoping....
Thanks for reading, Robert
Trade piles are the best kind. I got your package. Thanks! I'll get it posted sometime...
ReplyDeleteI have a few leaning towers of cardboard sitting in my office. Hoping I'll be able to sort through them before I head back into the classroom.
ReplyDeleteYep I've had piles like that still do, many times they fall on over and I curse and mumble and grumble about it.
ReplyDeleteI also know the feeling of finding some of those gems "lost" in the stacks.
