In what's been a long time coming, this will mark the final post on here. For real, real this time.
With the huge growth I have seen from Cards Over Coffee this year, the lack of growth here and feeling like this blog is the third wheel on a date, it's time I close things up officially and close things up the right way.
This blog over the years brought me a lot of joy and brought me many places in my hobby career I never thought I would go. I was once sponsored by multiple card companies allowing me to give back to you guys, with that as well I was able to communicate with some of the biggest names in the hobby, I won Blogger Of The Year once (this was the one time I think Night Owl didn't win lol) on GoGTS award show which you can see on YouTube, I was able to write for a few companies, I connected with other bloggers and became a respected part of the hobby community because of Sport Card Collectors.
But, with anything in life, there comes a time when you know you shouldn't be doing something anymore. Such as I know I can't go run a slant route without wearing my knee brace or playing tackle football with my friends in the backyard. I can't imagine the back pain the next day.
So today just seems right to end the blog on the day it started. Just 12 years later.
In tradition of my this blog's anniversary, I will post my final updated numbers from the previous years on here and this is today's edition,
Year One, Sport Card Collectors blog had 68,169 overall views. 695 Twitter Followers and 118 Facebook LIKES.

I don't want to look at today's post as a goodbye, as I am still blogging, I just want it to say hello to the two blogs that I will be continuing on.
