I had set a goal for myself to reach 125 completed trades and have 100 positive feedback comments before the end of the year. Thanks to mrdonnee, I achieved both goals in the same trade!
Being a member here has been a ton of fun! I only discovered this site when trying to find a way to keep track of my collection after having had 2 computer crashes and data loss in consecutive months. Since joining, I've been able to complete sets a hundred times faster than I ever thought I would, get cards I only ever dreamed of owning as a kid (that Reggie rookie still eludes me though), met a lot of great people and even 1 in person (thanks FiresNbeers!), made a new friend (thanks, sportzcommish, for your prayers and time), and now even find myself on a card (thanks C2Cigars!). Thanks as well to bravefan1 for being willing to take the chance on being my first trade and for walking me through the process.
Thanks, to everyone I've traded with, for all the great trades, PIFs, and entertainment. Thanks also to everyone who works so hard to make this site what it is. I don't contribute much in the way of images, checklists or even forum discussions, but I sure do appreciate those that do!
My goals for the upcoming year:
Reach 300 trades.
Maintain 100% positive feedback.
Meet at least 3 more members.
Break the TCDB record for largest trade.
Hopefully have the "Reggie travels the U.S." card signed by members from all 50 states and back in my possession.
Learn how to scan my cards and contribute images.
Have as much fun as I did this year.
Love this community and wishing all of you a Merry Christmas,!
