I have spent the past two weeks inventorying my baseball card collection, started with 1953 (only a handful of cards) and am at 1988 right now. Found a real nice website that has printable checklists for every year and about every set (yes, even any jello or cereal collections as well). I love my 1962 Nellie Fox jello card, except I could not cut a straight
**** line with a scissors at that age.
Had 1200 card in 1985, and close that in every set since. I needed to sort numerically in order to have a fighting chance for entering onto checklists. 1200 cards of a almost 800 card set, and I still am missing like 24 cards. When I get to 90s I typically bought complete sets, and that should be much easier, no need to even open them I guess.
Anyway, quite a nice time, good winter project now that winter finally arrived. Seeing lots of really cool cards, guys I had completely forgotten about.
