That's very impressive. Congrats on your upcoming milestone.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Tips on how to make your scans look like the card does in hand (No more washed out, fuzzy scans!):

Wow! Congratulations that is really great. I'm very impressed because I have a pretty good idea of what it takes to get to a milestone like that. I'm shooting for 15,000 in my Royals collection by the end of 2018. If you're married you have a very understanding wife. Once again, Congrats!

Awesome, that's one card for every frustrating game since 1887.

And a 1,000 just for the last game of the 1993 World Series.

I was raised in Trenton NJ which was evenly split between Yankees fans and Phillies fans. I was the former. But in the 50s and early 60s, we could only pick up Phillies games on TV and an occasional Yankees game with a lot of snow (you young people know what snow is). So watching the Phils, I did like Tony Taylor, Wes Covington, Pancho Herrera and Tony Gonzalez. How's that for dating oneself. Also, amazing that Herrera only spent 3 years in the majors with his power. Maybe injuries sidelined what seemed to be a promising career
