ideas, potentially.

So I don't think anyone will be too upset if they miss out on these sets I posted yesterday. I'll start filing them away by team. I am currently doing so and I've added 2009 Topps stuff too. Sets like Heritage (which there is a bunch of), 206, Ticket to Stardom and the base and chrome. What I am thinking for the team idea is like a group break but without opening stuff. Cards will come from 1976 to now, from any manufacturer, with the majority being newer stuff. Very little late 80's/early 90's stuff. If there is, they are star cards (generally). Teams will average probably 200 or so cards. I'm thinking 15 picks of teams then randoming off the rest of the unpicked teams. Inserts, parallels and what ever else I have will go in here. I am also planning on doing another break/draft, using the remaining relics, autos and pre-1976 stuff I have. I also have another VERY good idea for another draft/break as well (more on that another day). While it seems I am giving up on collecting, I am indeed, not. It has come to a point where I have accumulated more that I've collected. I just have cards here doing nothing, from sets I won't collect and teams I don't collect. Oh and on the previously mentioned team break, anyone who picks the Blue Jays can also pick their team as well. I have so many, that I would have to at least do that for someone willing to take them, as opposed to just putting them on as a random team. Plus there are a bunch of really good cards in there, they just happen to be Jays.

For said team break, I'm thinking $15, for the two teams. That will cover shipping and what ever supplies I'll need. If you think you might be interested, let me know in the comments section below. Just a gauge to see if it'll work.

downsizing part two

Many sets were claimed yesterday but there are a few left. Here they are:

1994 Upper Deck Collectors Choice- Two retail boxes worth, silver and gold sigs included.

2007 Upper Deck- About 700 or so (I'm just kinda guessing here, its a pretty full 800 ct. box)

2008 Upper Deck- About 150 cards.

2009 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes- 30 or so cards.

2009 Upper Deck Piece of History- 30 or so cards.

2009 Upper Deck Signature Stars- Maybe 50 cards out of 100 card set.

2009 Upper Deck Spectrum- 40 or so cards.

2009 Upper Deck Timeline- 30 or so cards.

2010 Upper Deck- 125 or so cards.

Really what I did was take the sets I had a decent number of cards for, or the sets that seem to have a following, even if they didn't have too many cards (Goodwin, Masterpieces). If none of these are claimed by Thursday, I'll just sort them by team and add them to the other cards that are currently sorted by team (about 2000 cards right now). After Thursday, I'll offer up teams for the picking. I may have an idea of what to do with them too, it may be a break type style. We'll see though.

the downsizing process

I think what may be best for this process is to list by sets, then by teams for unclaimed sets. I am not sure on how to work this though. I'll start by listing the sets I have a bunch of cards from and approximately how many.

***claimed***2008-2011 Bowman- These can fill up maybe an 800 count box, I do have some from earlier years too.
***claimed***2007 Fleer Ultra- 250 card set, about 200 here, 201-250 are short prints, I have about 30.

***claimed***2007 Topps- I have an extra full factory set. It is open and in numerical order but is complete.
***claimed***Topps Heritage- All pre-2009 sets, about 200 cards
***claimed***Topps Chrome- Mostly 2008 but some from earlier, about 100 or so. Inserts, refractors, etc.
***claimed***Topps Allen& Ginter and Turkey Red- 2007 to 2009, maybe 40 cards between both brands. I also have plenty of 2011 Ginter I can include too.

***claimed***1990-1992 Upper Deck- Mostly 1990, about 400 cards here.
1994 Upper Deck Collectors Choice- Two retail boxes worth, silver and gold sigs included.
2007 Upper Deck- About 700 or so (I'm just kinda guessing here, its a pretty full 800 ct. box)
2008 Upper Deck- About 150 cards.
***claimed***2008-09 Upper Deck Goudey- 40 or so cards between the two years.
***claimed***2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces- 30 or so cards, two framed parallels.
2009 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes- 30 or so cards.
***claimed***2009 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions 30 or so cards.
***claimed***2009 Upper Deck Icons- 100 card basic set, maybe missing 2 cards. Some rookie short prints and inserts.
***claimed***2009 Upper Deck O-Pee-Chee- About 70 or so, with black bordered parallels
2009 Upper Deck Piece of History- 30 or so cards.
2009 Upper Deck Signature Stars- Maybe 50 cards out of 100 card set.
***claimed***2009 Upper Deck SP Legendary Cuts- Very close to a full 100 card base set, missing maybe 15 or less. Also a few short prints.
2009 Upper Deck Spectrum- 40 or so cards.
2009 Upper Deck Timeline- 30 or so cards.
2010 Upper Deck- 125 or so cards.

I suppose cost will come down to how much it will be to ship. You can claim what ever sets you'd like and once you're done, I'll figure out a price for shipping, supplies, etc. (boxes and such can get expensive), prices will be very fair.
