2014 Year in Review

I added 2,380 Tim Wallach cards to my collection in 2014, bringing my total to 12,819 cards.  That's an increase of 22.8% on the year.  Of the 2,380 cards I added, 1,002 of them were sent in by readers or non-readers who heard about my efforts somewhere else.  That's a very generous total, and I'd once again like to thank anyone that sent cards.  It doesn't go unnoticed.

This blog also added a Twitter account in 2014.  That account now has 86 followers, which may not be a huge number, but it feels like about 84 or 85 (give or take a couple) more than it should warrant.  So thank  you to all of you who follow, I try not to twit, tweet, post, etc too much.
