I think with these cards, you may have to come up with something to encourage comments because, at least for me, there are a lot of players that I just haven't heard of in this set.

In any case, if you decide to retire, I would hope that you leave the blog entries here as an archive of sorts. I was disappointed when I saw the 1988 and 1978 blog posts disappeared.<br /><br />But always remember, there are some out there (like me) who surf the blogs and enjoy the posts but don't make comments often. Discussion is great, but sometimes the posts speak for themselves.<br /><br />I'm rambling.

I think certain blog entries lend themselves to comments better than others though - I know I enjoy posting my Larkin collection one card at a time, but mostly they remain commentless because what can someone say other than "nice card." It's a challenge, and a rather fine line, but on behalf of the entire blogosphere, we'd hate to see you give up!Nachos Grandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02911007368272468591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370719003977121813.post-74961295699350911392009-06-08T09:48:37.305-04:002009-06-08T09:48:37.305-04:00Sorry guys--not trying to bring bad news.

If you have ideas on how I can improve this blog, post them...I'm willing to try.<br /><br />The thing I'm trying to avoid is starting a set and then quitting halfway through like I did with 1978 Topps. That's a really crappy thing to do to readers. If I'm going to start the next set, I want to make sure I finish it.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644396308532248413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370719003977121813.post-21879812255296712182009-06-08T09:46:55.692-04:002009-06-08T09:46:55.692-04:00How come crappy news always seems to come on Monda...How come crappy news always seems to come on Mondays? :(Stormyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00383728590462590740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370719003977121813.post-21365750555455782002009-06-08T09:33:19.598-04:002009-06-08T09:33:19.598-04:00The "tournament" idea sounds like a good...The "tournament" idea sounds like a good one.Matt Runyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386635541020320778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370719003977121813.post-8585620947062212162009-06-08T09:26:17.608-04:002009-06-08T09:26:17.608-04:00I might be inclined to continue if I can come up w...I might be inclined to continue if I can come up with a format that would encourage more posting. I'm toying with the idea of posting 4 cards at a time, having people comment on which card is the best of the 4, then going forward with the winners in a tournament until we find the best card--then awarding the set the whichever person ultimately commented on the most winning cards. I'm not explaining that very well, I think, but it might work. I'm thinking about it.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644396308532248413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370719003977121813.post-8558356196314087772009-06-08T09:17:57.883-04:002009-06-08T09:17:57.883-04:00Sorry to hear that!
