I think it has to do with how I have been posting basically just post team set photos, and I know no one has any particular desire to see all the Ranger cards from the 1992 Donruss set. Being new to blogging, you will have to forgive me. :)
Also getting back into the cards after a loooooong time, I am still trying to decide exactly how I want to store/display my cards. Up till now, I have been focusing on Donruss, and have gathered from '81 up till '94 with about 40 or 50 holes. I have them put into pages and in a binder starting from '81 and working forward. But I think I will be switching to a system based on years instead of manufacturer. Meaning all Rangers cards from '72 followed by all from '73 and so forth as opposed to a binder for Donruss, a binder for Topps, et al. I doubt it would take very long for me to screw that up by forgetting that such and such brand is a Topps brand for example.
In anticipation of doing it using a yearly system, I went ahead and placed a few orders for the majority of the '72 thru '82 of the big 3 to get me started.
And of course I plan on keeping up with my player collections which currently are Chris James, and anyone in the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame, of which I have begun my Charlie Hough and Toby Harrah collections. I know, I know, you are thinking "Chris James, why would anyone give a s**t about Chris James?". He was the first to pop into mind when I restarted collecting because when I was a kid and collecting cards, we both lived in Alto, TX. Our mothers were friends, with his mother volunteering for my mother who was an activities director at a nursing home. I am about 60 cards into that particular collection.
But that's enough for now, drop me a comment on how you prefer to store/display your collections, I would love to hear your ideas!
A late welcome to the baseball card blogging community! Thanks for the comment on 2011 Topps. I didn't make it into Toys R Us much last year.
ReplyDeleteAs far as displaying/storing cards, I'm primarily a team collector and have all my Indian cards in binders.If I was a set collector I would like them the same way, but that would be a ton of pages and binders! I guess it's really up to the individual, depending on how much space and financing you have to spend on your collection.The number of sets you have would also be a factor in the equation.
Do you have any want lists yet? I have plenty of Rangers to trade!
All my Rangers in binders divided by brand and organized by year. Matlack gets his own binder.
ReplyDeleteTo echo what Baseball Dad said, welcome to blogging. Shoot me your wantlists if you have the time, I have literally thousands of extra Rangers.
Hey guys! Thanks for the welcome!
ReplyDeleteLike you Baseball Dad, I am focusing on the team collecting side of the hobby. Tho, thanks to all the great blogs I have been reading up on, there are sooo many sets I have missed, that I may make a few exceptions.
Currently I am going with the same idea that Spiff is using as well.
I have been meaning to post a want list recently, so I will go ahead and do that soon. Hopefully we can working something out!
Thanks again!
I'm working on doing it like Spiff, but I only have a few binders so far.
