I’ve had some random hobby thoughts on my mind so I thought I’d hit on several topics this week.
I discuss a bit about some burnout I’m feeling after working through a large collection over the last 6 months. I also talk about a recent article I wrote for SI.com where I discuss what falling card prices might mean for the overall health of the hobby. I share a bit about my Norman Smiley super collection. Finally, I talk about how I structure my time so I can get everything done.
Enjoy!
