Mar 17, 2026: rescue me
jeff meff returned home covered in glory today. He's been with his mom for two weeks, because, hashtag reasons, and on the way home he helped me push free a lady's car that was stuck in the snow. We were digging the wheels out, pushing, digging the wheels out, pushing, and then a third unnamed super hero showed up to give us the final oomph we needed.
I wonder what his secret identity is.
Lady saved.
In between not being bored, I was bored, so I sent off a trade offer to an old pal, Jim. He accepted as is.
Almost entirely NBA going out the door, including a bunch of rookies, some 1989-90 Hoops (fun set), and a random football card. Da Bears still suck!
Oh, and a nice bit of star power shooting across the country - including lulu's boi king james.
This is our 7th or 8th deal (still can't remember if the trade increments on acceptance or completion, lol), and I'm pretty excited for the cards coming back. Hint on why in yesterday's post.
Gotta keep powering through the football cards that derek RAK'd me and it continues with 2006 Topps Total.
There's about 450-500 cards to rip though and because it looks like enough to get me around 70% of the complete set, I'll add most of these cards into my PC. I'm not a huge fan of the look and feel of this set, and yet, the set collector in me shines bright.
I made it about halfway through all of the cards today, and this one is my favorite of that batch. greg was an early Aaron Rodgers hater. For whatever that's worth, he seems to have had a point.
Minor update to the codebase to close us out. I'm not thrilled with some of the photo features, and a quickie was addressed today. Images are now 35% smaller on desktop.
Roughly 20% of my readers will even notice.
Iterate.
