First time in 25 years

[nosterbor]

Today was the first time in 25 years that I have no cards coming in. no auctions won in a week. thus, no mail. My last card came in yesterday. Ten auctions are ending tonight. Hopefully I can win one of them. 25 years is a long time.

That is insane if you literally have not had a mail day break in 25 years where no cards were in coming. That puts Ripken's streak to shame. I have spent a lot on ebay and other online sites since 1996, but there have been plenty of no mail days sprinkled in.

I am probably mixing you up with someone else, but weren't you quitting cards and moving to Italy?

Wow, that's crazy.
Congrats? Haha
I've taken months off at a time, multiple times since then.

we are working on it. It takes a lot of time to get the government of Italy to approve you for citizenship. Yes you can go on a Vesa but they only last less than 6 months. Then you have to leave and come back. That is too much of a hassle. And my wife retires next week.

So, is this by design cuz you were slowing down your buying on purpose or just nothing that interests you came up?

I have been selling a lot.
