How does it feel when you got no food?

Three wall-mounted shelves, 4 shoe containers, and one closet (2 shelves) to go through for my entire collection.

One wall-shelf and 4 shoe boxes down, 4 more shelves to go. Most were baseball and some basketball. I have more masketball and football to go through.

I'm cherry-picking all the Jeter and current Yankees cards out of my stuff for my nephew. But the two SP RCs stay with me. He will have one if he grows to appreciate collecting. The Jeter UA OMLB is on hold for him when he grows older. For now it will stay in my collection for safe keeping.

I also created a few player collection along the way. It seemed like the thing to do while cleaning house. So far, I have these player collections, what seemed to be the most important players to me:

Okay, so I am no supercollector and my cards are really small in number when compared to other people's player collections, but hey, to each their own. I picked out the cards I liked and pitched the rest. I like what I have for each player. I mean, I can always add to each collection later on. And it doesn't necessarily have to be cards. smile.gif baby.gif
