The Lost Collector Turns 6!

It's hard to believe, but this small little blog of mine turns six today. Outside of a bit of a lull in the Fall of 2012, I've consistently made 200 blog entries per year. While not daily, one every other day or so isn't bad, even when 95% of them are "hey, look what I got" posts.

It's funny. In my first year of blogging, I did 546 posts. That's absurd. See, I follow a couple of sports blogs closely, and I thought that I needed to do at least three posts per day, as some of my favorites do. That was downright silly and impossible to achieve, and I quickly learned to pace myself. Those blogs have thousands of readers and several staff writers. I was just dumb thinking that was the necessary formula to be successful.

I wish I had some better kept records, like amount of trade packages in or out, total numbers of TTMs, total times Napkin Doon did something outlandish, total cards JBF has sent me, total Zappings, etc. While I can't do that, I can say that my collection has grown in ways I could have never imagined, and I've gotten cards - mostly from you guys - I would have never thought possible.

Regardless, thank you for stopping by these last few years. It's been a blast, and I plan to keep going as long as it's still interesting to me.
