Sadly I started collecting pocket skeds around 1975 but somewhere around 1985 I just started throwing them in what has now become 5 large plastic tubs.

I still write the teams for them each year, open the envelopes, peer insdie and then put envelope and all into the tubs. I would guess I have around 10,000 skeds or more. I keep thinking that I will sort through them some cold winter but have yet to do so.

This may inspire me! Over the years I have sold some of my most prized baseball cards and publications but have never once gotten rid of two things my skeds or my baseball videos and DVDs. I now have a little over 700 baseball films. Probably more than that of football but never did collect football skeds.

I think this fits the definition of hoarding. I even have some envelopes from some board members from the 1980s when people ran "trading sked" ads in the old SCD.
