I used to be a real active member on this site a few year ago. I was making several trades a week, constantly picking up new cards for my PC and helping others fill their collecting needs. Here in the last year or so I have really been sporadic on this site due to my lack of motivation and direction with my collecting/trading, work/personal issues, and site issues. No matter how bad this website was I continued to come back. During this recent time I have not had focus on where I wanted to go with my PC and which guys I wanted to continue collecting. Even at the National I wandered around not sure what I wanted or why I wanted what I did. About 2 months ago I thought I was going to switch jobs, take a pay cut, and have most of my weekends booked up with work. Work had me strung out...I felt I was under paid and under appreciated for the type of results I was producing for the company. That has all changed now and the place I work for made me an offer to stay that I could not refuse. Now that things have settled down in my personal/work life I am ready to get back to collecting and trading the way I was a couple of years ago. I have decided on 2 main players to PC patches and autos of (Josh Hamilton & Hunter Pence) as well as continuing to work on HOFers and established stars patches and autos. I am in the process of entering all of my cards that I will have for trade and also scanning them in to Photobucket so I can provide pictures when necessary. I also am working on scanning in my PC so I can show it off when necessary. I am a firm believer that you must write down your goals in order to keep focus on where you are headed. So here are mine.
My goals are:
To reduce the number of boxes I break at my LCS.
Increase the number of PC singles purchases through online sources.
Increase the number of trades I do on this site on a weekly basis.
Keep an active and updated mail day/purchases thread.
Thanks to those of you who have read all of this rambling. I hope by creating this I have created a level of accountability for myself in keeping active here and achieving my goals. Comments welcome as always.
