Default Just started a large project....

Well I don't want to bore you with too many details. But.....

Have to give a little back story.

I have essentially collected my whole life. (30). In 2009 I took a break until 2013. 2014-2017 case broke fairly religiously. Stopped with the crazy pricing, distributor cuts etc the past 2 years.

In 2014 I had about 20 5000 ct boxes of base inserts and non numbered rookies. This was about 1 year before the MLB RC phase took off, and I donated them to the Harrisburg School District (this is all pre MLB RC take off). After the MLB RC takeoff, I just kept everything.

Fast forward to 2019 I have 72 (!) 5000 Ct's in the room next to my office space. After much talk with the wife its time to de-clutter at least to a reasonable amount. However with pre-mentioned MLB RC take off.....its time to do a lot of sorting, pulling etc.

Today was day 1 phase 1. This is where I grabbed presorted stuff/numbered stuff etc, and pull good stuff out. I'm doing 10 boxes a night and this phase is fairly quick....I'm going to post and update...I expect this to be mostly boring. However tonight was fairly exciting.

With the below I came across 2 5000 ct of 2017 S1 only judge pulled, meaning about 20-24 Benintendi, Bregman, Dahls to get out (at least that come to mind..plus I think I have 2-3 more of these) and 1 5000 ct of 2016 Update (Snell, Berrios, Wilson Contreas Plus)...All that work of pulling flagship unsorted RC's will happen in Phase 2.

Here were some of the bigger pull outs from Day 1 Phase 1. Sorry for poor pic quality.








Pretty good for about 1 hour of work. Ill keep posting as it may make for a decent follow over the next few weeks.

Well as luck would have it, I got called out of town on work the night after this was posted. Got home this morning.......

Decided to sort out 2 5K counts I had set to the side for Acuna. Have a few more like this to get through.
