2026 (!) Goals
I have fewer goals for 2026. 1. Finish at least two additional series of the 1952 Topps set. I am 3-5 cards away from Series 1, 4, and 5 and see any of those as being easy wins by the end of the year. 2. Obtain a "Mt. Rushmore" card - something that would easily slot into the top four cards of...- CardBoredom

2025 year end
My 2025 Goal Report: Spend less than $120 on building my collection in the first six months of 2025. I need to keep expansion of the collection in check while I catch up on enjoying what I already have. If you change "first six months" to "last six months" then this goal can be considered a...- CardBoredom

COMC - Anyone have anything positive to say in 2021? (2022 UPDATE) (2023 UPDATE)
I agree that COMC has really improved when it comes to getting cards out to collectors (my latest economy shipment arrived about 10 days after requesting it). However, they have significantly slowed their intake processing times. I submitted about 60 cards through a 2 week processing level at...- CardBoredom

CONTEST today through 6/18/25
One. You secretly liquidated your autograph collection and this is your way of telling us by divesting your last remaining one in a giveaway. However, you didn't shout "Uno!" so you will now need to add even more autographs than before.- CardBoredom

Brandon Inge 2010 Heritage IP autograph blowing up on ebay
Final bid was $1,026 (Item #135780722719). Interesting to see the exact same listing (Item #135758877266) ended one week earlier with zero bids.- CardBoredom

How did you pick your screen name?
After bringing up some obscure facts about a random card, someone commented that I must be really bored when looking at cards. Add in the availability of a pun-infused domain name and you get my username.- CardBoredom

Website Image Background Poll.
I would suggest making it set specific, seeing as how your site seems to be organized in that manner. Like mrmopar said, alternate the background colors between black and white to best contrast with the set's borders. If you want a single color that works across the board, I would suggest...- CardBoredom

2024 Hobby Goals: Year in Review
Checking in with end of year results: 2024 Hobby Goals No eBay purchases for at least 6 months. I significantly cut back eBay activity but my "I'm just browsing" still turned into a mail day too many times. I had six months of zero activity, but they were not all consecutive. Pick up at least...- CardBoredom

Is the National worth it for player collectors?
For those that have attended the National and seen cards from your want list, how was the pricing? Is it somewhat fair or do vendors make you pay the "good luck finding another one in this giant room" tax?- CardBoredom

Game used CARDS?!?
I hope this brings a resurgence in wallet cards (if there was ever any popularity in the first place). Bob Costas, for example, has famously carried around a 1958 Topps Mantle All-Star in his pocket for decades.- CardBoredom

April 2024 Arrivals
Looks good as far pictures go. Each part of the "AQUEOUS TEST" should match up exactly with the placement on all other Paul O'Neill Aqueous cards. The placement matches the publicly viewable one in the PSA Set Registry. The difference in feel is very slight and not something I would personally...- CardBoredom

TTM/IP autographs for MARCH-APRIL 2024
I didn't include anything to be signed when I sent Bobby Shantz a letter asking him about a relation of mine who was his teammate for a few seasons. I included his usual signing fee for his time and reached him at 152 Mount Pleasant Ave, Ambler, PA 19002. Shantz wrote back last week, completing...- CardBoredom
