Every once in awhile, when I have no time for cards and I'm searching for five minutes -- please, just five minutes -- to devote to something about cards, I go to the spreadsheet and calculate how many cards it says I have. I've been in the process of trying to update my complete inventory since I started this blog. I've never had a real handle on how many cards I own and, of course, since blogging, that total has advanced quite a bit. Inventorying is tedious, unattractive work and I've reached only the letter M in my grand quest. But I force myself to update when I can because I like it when I can surprise myself with How Many Cards I Have. So, in that window of five minutes today, I went to "tools," clicked "add," typed in "SUM (B1:B4594)," typed in "9999" and this was the answer: Wow. Shocked every time. And only halfway there. What am I going to do with all these things?
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
