I won’t even give things away for free on Craigslist anymore.

Working … for now. But we'll see for how long.

I've decided against buying online for now because I don't know where the cards/other items I buy are coming from, who's touched them, etc.

I've also decided against selling for the moment. Don't want to try and sell when the market is taking a downturn. Would rather hold and sell later in the summer/fall, if things are back to normal by then.

In the meantime, I've decided to try and get a bit organized. Also trying to get some scans in that I've been wanting to do. Also working on a website with all of my stuff that's FT/FS.

I'm working from home, as of this past Wednesday. I've decided to take to the sidelines with regard to collecting. Going to focus more on appreciation of what I have, as opposed to acquisition of what I don't. I was really already there. I work in the pipeline industry and the latest Saudi hijinks have got everyone on edge even before the coronavirus thing hit. That only compounded it.

If you'll forgive me for being philosophical for a moment, it is really odd how time seems to have stood still. My wife and I have OKC Thunder season tickets, and I was at the Thunder-Utah Jazz game that was postponed at the last minute due to Rudy Gobert's positive COVID-19 test and was likely the catalyst for the decision to suspend the NBA season. That was only a week and half ago, yet is seems like ages.

So true, Jeff. My wife and I were discussing just yesterday how time loses its relevance when there is nowhere you have to be and nothing live to watch or attend. I find the slower pace to my liking. Like last night I didn't even have to get high to sleep through the night.

I'm cleaning out my garage. Holy crap, I think if I stacked all of the auction catalogs (end to end), there'd be at least 15 feet of catalogs. Those things are HEAVY. I almost pushed them to the recycle bin but I can't bring myself to do that. The catalogs go back about 30 years.

Also found 5K count boxes of all kinds of 80s and 90s garbage along with an 86 vending case and 89D set case. I'm almost tempted to just burn the frigging cards.... So many fun things to do when you can't go out...
