I'm absolutely looking forward to future posts in this series.<br /><br />I'd never heard of the "Superman building", but it's well-named because it evoked the proper image with me (I looked it up).The Shlabotnik Reporthttps://shlabotnikreport.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-84477721258322480132019-09-15T06:40:18.005-04:002019-09-15T06:40:18.005-04:00What a great idea for a mental exercise, and an eq...What a great idea for a mental exercise, and an equally great idea to create the two virtual albums!<br /><br />My total collection is smallish (about 25,000 cards), and similar to what Fuji said, much of that total consists of complete sets that I'd really love to keep for the nostalgia factor. If I could keep a bunch of those sets, then I'd definitely be able to whittle my singles down to 2,000. Actually, I don't think I even have 2,000 singles now.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing the virtual albums as they grow!gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740439412693373442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-24685666783731109402019-09-14T20:09:52.010-04:002019-09-14T20:09:52.010-04:00Awesome idea for a post... and those are some grea...Awesome idea for a post... and those are some great cards to kick things off. I've thought about thinning my collection on many occasions... and in 2000 or 2001, I actually sold off the bulk of my collection and kept (a total guess) around 2,000 cards. Realistically... I'd never be able to do this again unless I was getting out of the hobby altogether. Between a few of my favorite sets (like 1972 Topps, 1975 Topps, 70's Kellogg's sets, plus a few different autograph sets), the number would already be close to 2k already. If I were to try something out like this... I would probably pick 20 to 30 sets, plus 1k to 2k singles.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.com
