Sorting, sorting, sorting...

All that sorting means that there has been some good mail this week.

The week began quickly on Monday with a package from OBCer Linda Fitak, who sent a padded envelope brimming with cards. After sorting I was able to record hits to my 1955 Bowman, 1956 Topps, 1960 Topps, 1961 Topps and the 1970 Topps sets.

Tuesday was more of the same as OBCer Rick Johnson added about 20 hits to my 1974 Topps list. An ebay package added 8 hits to my 1971 Topps sets for a total of 28 hits on Tuesday.

Wednesday and Thursday were quiet, but Friday made up for it.

Friday yielded a box (literally) of cards containing a 1952 Topps, a pair of 1954 Topps, a 1955 Bowman, a trio of 1955 Topps, 4 1956 Topps hits, 6 1958 Topps, 2 1959 Topps, 4 1960 Topps, 2 1961 Topps, a pair of 1962 Topps, a single 1963 Topps, 3 1965 Topps, 1 1966 Topps, a pair of 1969 Topps cards, a 1973 Topps, 3 1975 Topps and a single 1978 Topps hit.

In total this package brought me another 39 hits.

The end result of thus flurry of activity is a total 87 hits. So here are the newly updated totals:

Cards in my Collection: 4,669
Total Cards needed: 17,936
Cards remaining to achieve goal: 13,267
Percentage Complete: 26.03%

I expect things to quiet down a little bit now for the next little bit, although I am expecting another Mantle in the mail. Obviously when that happens it will merit a special place in that weeks post, but we'll see about that when we get there.
