Mar 08, 2026: you know my steez

I sprinkled a little bit of painting throughout the day.

That's the beginning, and the end. I wonder what happened in the middle?

In between painting, and because I'm caught up on trades, as well as programming, I got back to sorting cards.

I started by consolidating 4 or 5 different boxes or piles of 2020-21 NBA cards into one box. Here's the breakdown of the sets I worked through:

• 2020-21 Panini Mosaic (300/300 100%)
• 2020-21 Panini Flux (216/250 86.4%)
• 2020-21 Panini Select (62/300 20.7%)
• 2020-21 Panini Prizm (307/314 97.8%)

I've had that Mosaic set completed for years now. I just have to give it the appropriate binder treatment next. Only so much time in the day......

Once those boxes were consolidated into one, I back filled a few of the newly empty boxes with all of my 1989 Pro Set that is for trade. I have 1594 up for trade and have completed 537/584 (92%) on the PC side.

I moved those cards into these boxes to free up some space for the next batch of cards I'll be loading into tcdb.

A good portion of my life is finding the perfect sized box for a batch of cards only for that box to no longer be the perfect sized box at some point. At which point the next round of reorganization begins. Round and round we go.

Since we are on a roll (call us butter), let's start cramming some 2021-22 NBA cards into a box I made quite awhile ago.

These sets, as currently constituted, fit quite nicely inside:

• 2021-22 Donruss (220/250 88%)
• 2021-22 Donruss Optic (141/200 70.5%)
• 2021-22 Hoops (225/270 83.3%)

All of that to free up some space so I can get to the football cards I'm going to be loading into tcdb this week.

Quite the lead up to one relatively small box.

• 2006 Topps (193/386 50%)
