A Milestone

Hey Mr. Hershiser, how many years old is this blog? 


1991 Topps #690, Orel Hershiser


He's right. My first entry is dated December 30th, 2018, which means tomorrow makes it a year already. 

Huzzah!

My intention from the start was to post once a week—every Sunday—and I'm happy to say that I've held to that schedule the entire year. I think the format works well (hope you do, too), and I'm certainly going to try to stick to it for year number two.

All in all, it was a fun first year of blogging. 

If you're a reader, thanks so much for spending some time here throughout the year. If you're also a fellow blogger and collector, thank you for providing inspiration through your blogs and collections. I'm grateful.

Goals for the second year include completing a few more sets, creating more custom cards, and running a contest of some kind. But I think I need a larger readership before I try the contest. 

If you know someone who might enjoy this blog, would you do me a favor and share it with them?

Here's to another great year of blogging and collecting for everyone.

  3. Has it really been a year already? Seems like you just joined the blogging ranks a few months ago. Congratulations on your first year, I'm sure that I'm not the only one who would like to see you post more often, but I completely understand why you don't.

    1. Thanks Jon! I've thought about posting more often, but my concern is that I might not be able to come up with enough interesting things to say. Heh.

  8. You know, now you have to find a card of someone holding up the correct number of fingers every year. Should get difficult around 6 or so!

    1. Hah! Good point. I'd have to use a few cards of players holding up different numbers of fingers.
