Here we are, over a year since my last blog post! Having a kid is a whole lot more work than i expected. Couple that with working on being a good husband, a full-time job and freelance work and this project just got put on the backburner. Honestly, my Sanders collection itself has taken a backseat to my Glen Coffee collection since Sanders' stuff is everpresent and increasing yearly. I actually plan to start a new page for the Coffee PC. But for now, my Sanders PC is almost completely scanned! I'm halfway through 2016! Have a look!
Haven't posted a new update on the blog in awhile. Been super busy with my son, he's three months old as of yesterday, so I'm only able to sneak away to the office to scan and update about once or twice a week.
But as the title says, I'm hoping to finally get this project "finished." I put finished in quotation marks because it will hopefully never end. There will always be cards to chase and add to the collection, and eventually to the site. And it won't even be finished when I get all of my current cards scanned because it's been suggested and asked of me to add descriptions or at least card titles to all of my cards. While that process won't be nearly as much of an undertaking as the scanning was, it still won't be quick either. As of now, I've made it through the year 2006. At this point, the page includes 1,126 scans of cards, memorabilia, odd balls, etc. Hope you enjoy the page if you're reading this. As always, if you notice anything missing from my collection that you have, feel free to contact me to add it to this site haha. [email protected] or @foleylion08 on twitter. I'm also on facebook.com/foleylion08. I've scanned all the way through 1997 now! First nine years of his career, and now just 19 more years of products to go. Kinda discouraging to see that I haven't even scanned half of my Barry collection yet. But then again, this IS a major undertaking. At the time of this blog entry, I have over 1,200 unique Sanders items. So i a sense, I'm proud of what I've accomplished. This project has also given me the opportunity to re-sleeve and re-topload most of my cards to preserve them better (and make them prettier, as I had used used supplies before). Anyways, I'll attempt to get some more done tomorrow, starting on 1998! So many memories being brought back of all the great (and not so great!) 90s products. Enjoy! And if you see that I'm missing something and you have it or know where to get it, please contact me! Thanks for looking.
Well seven months after I initially created this page and added scans from the first three seasons of Barry's career, I've finally returned to add some more content. It's amazing just how many life events can occur to slow down your progress! So today I added all cards I have from 1993 and 1994. Some great early 90s inserts in there. I'm hoping to get at least 1995 done tomorrow and MAYBE start on 1996. Or I might decide to just make a page with all my oddball/homemade cards. Who knows? Anyways, enjoy the additions! Feel free to link this page to anyone you know who would enjoy it. Find me on facebook.com/foleylion08. Join one of the facebook groups I help run: COLLEGE FOOTBALL CARD COLLECTORS and/or NFL Football Card Collectors (and other sports too). I'm also on beckett.com as foleylion08. If you have anything to add to my collection, I'd love to trade for them, or potentially buy if the price is right! Thanks again for looking.
Hello and welcome to my very first website. I've been collection football cards for about 13 years now, with a hiatus scattered in there over a few years. Ever since I started watching football when I was a kid, Barry Sanders has always been my favorite player. The same is true in my football card collection, Sanders is my favorite player to collect. To date I have 1139 officially licensed cards, plus numerous other magazines, oddball cards, magazine clippings, figurines, jerseys, etc. Today I began the arduous task of scanning my entire Barry Sanders collection and uploading them onto this website. Bear with me while I learn the ropes and check back to see new cards added (almost) daily!
