2024 Annual Report

 

Last month I promised that I would finally get around to taking a proper look back at what has transpired on my end of the hobby in 2024. Here it is: The 2024 CardBoredom State of the Collection Annual Report. I tracked the number of cards flowing in an out of the collection, identified which ones moved me closer to meeting my goals, and ranked the top 3 acquisitions of the year. Progress reports for each area of focus are also included, as are report cards for how things stacked up against previously published goals.

 

December isn't just a period for reflection on the past. The publishing calendar continued to move forward at a decent pace. Four other posts made their way out to CardBoredom readers during the month. There was a look at the 1952 baseball card issues not made by Topps. Profiles were written for '52 Topps cards featuring a multi-decade soap opera star and a guy who knew exactly how to make opponents angry. I also made up some numbers to make reading about Larry Walker more fun.

Last month I asked others if they would post a similar recap of their own collecting year. I'm curious to see how other collections developed and have already been pointed to some reading material put out by other collectors well ahead of me in terms of writing up their collection.

Happy new year and may your cards never be boring.
