I had a few diversions during my 9 days off. My wife's post op recovery being the number one diversion and the reason I took last week off. I was thinking she'd sleep a lot and I'd have lots of "Reorg" time. Well, she didn't sleep that much and I didn't organize as much as I thought I would. I did a lot of work, but I'm not sure it really shows.
My other diversion was going to see Cat Osterman pitch on Saturday night, but I'll save that for another post.
Over the weekend, I'll post up to date pictures of the piles of boxes so you can see what a difference I made.
One thing I did that I have been wanting to do for a long time is put my Rangers and Senators cards in binders. Not all of them mind you, but I got Senators from 1961-1971 and Rangers from 1972-1990.
My Senators team sets are not complete and I sincerely hope that I left the correct number of blank slots for the missing cards. I know I have a decent amount of other Senators cards in my vintage box, I just need to dig them out. If you've checked my wantlists recently, and I don't know why you would, it hasn't been updated in a long time. That's going to change in the next few weeks and this time I'm going to keep up with it. *He says for the 1000th time.*
This is just another look at some of the Sens and the multitude of open spots among them.
This is my first Rangers binder. I'm working on base Topps cards only right now. Gotta start somewhere.
We start with the '72s and lord have mercy am I missing all the high numbers or what? Figures.
This binder goes all the way to 1989 and has room for a few more. I don't want to overstuff it, but I would like to limit the Topps base binders to 2 or maybe 3. I haven't fully decided how I'm going to handle parallels and the like, but I think they'll get their own binder. It really starts with the 1975 Rangers because I have a handful of the minis, but I don't want to stick them in with the regular '75s so I'll handle that when I get through the base.
It's been a fun process so far, but a little irritating for the wife. When we are watching television, I've been sorting through cards, so she feels like I'm not paying attention. Well, I am. To the cards. The shows I could do without for the most part.
More updates to come.
Hey, there's a Monty Fariss sighting. I know that card from anywhere!
ReplyDeleteI would too. Monty was in literally every other pack I opened in 1989.
DeleteGood stuff. All this reorg talk makes me want to get cracking on my Mets mess even more! They're in stacks and in boxes but not in pages or binders. I applaud you for digging in!
ReplyDeleteI sort while watching TV all the time, nobody actually expects me to just sit there, do they?
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things to do was sort while watching a game. Now with my two year old that is pretty much impossible. Her hands are like vice grips. If she gets a hold of something fragile, it is a goner.
