I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back.
So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
Lately, my kids have been getting on the Harry Potter movie train, much to my enjoyment. I'm a big Potter fan - I read all the books and usually saw the movies the night they opened. So it's been fun for me to see my kids take in movies 1-3. I won't let them watch movie 4 and beyond just yet, as they are still a but young and the series gets a bit more sirius after that.
One of my favorite scenes from the entire series is the first time we see the sorting hat. It's a great scene:
Sometimes, I wish there was a magical card-sorting machine so I wasn't always so behind.
Luckily, there is at least some hardware now that can help make the sorting process easier. I'm talking about BCW's card sorting tray!
I already got one of these back in December, but always kicked myself that I didn't order a second one at the same time. However, that changed this past week. You see, I'm part of Sport Card Collector's Fantasy Baseball League, and I had the top winning percentage in July. I had the choice of choosing between a sorting tray or a Topps Finest autograph. I chose....GRYFFINDOR! Errr, the sorting tray!
It arrived earlier this week, and I'm looking forward to putting it to good use. Thanks to SCC and BCW Supplies for the great prize!
