Sometimes I need a push--Serial Insanity pages #1 and #2

Real estate hunting can be tiring work, especially when you do it in the middle of a Florida summer.  My wife and I finally were able to lock into a contract this past week, and the process has begun of buying what we are calling our "final home".  Our plan is not to move anymore, and hopefully in the next few weeks we will have the process closed and move into the new digs.

Outside of the daily posts on my other blog, which consist of 3 bullet points and take only a few minutes each to hammer out, my blog posts have really been few and far between.   I've managed to knock out a few trades and envelopes here and there, but blogging just hasn't been the same as it was a year or 2 ago.

Last Wednesday, one of my favorite blog trading partners, Tony from Off Hiatus Baseball posted about the Brewers cards I sent his way.  What he also mentioned in the post is my long running Serial Numbered Insanity quest, which has been dormant on the blog for some time.

Tony, thank you for the push that I've needed.  It's time to go over what I have with a fine tooth comb.   I'm going to post each page over the next several weeks, make sure that each team has 50 cards and that I've not screwed anything up.

Those who follow religiously, make sure I don't screw anything up, OK?

Here we go!!
