I had to pause this process for awhile, but had time to hammer out another year this morning. The issue with doing this, is it takes up a lot of space and creates a good amount of clutter. So it's not just a matter of counting the cards and running numbers. Pulling the boxes and then laying out the cards, then putting them away eats up a lot of minutes. I'm also the proud owner of a new dog. A Siberian Husky. She's 7 months old and has an amazing ability to destroy any and everything that isn't closed in a drawer, closet, or about 8 feet off the ground. So leaving these cards out overnight or during the day is out of the question. Otherwise, she's a great dog. Here are some numbers:
1989 Alaska Goldpanners - Listed: 5 Actual: 5 Difference: 0
1989 Bowman - Listed: 152 Actual: 157 Difference: +5
1989 Bowman Tiffany - Listed: 6 Actual: 9 Difference: +3
1989 Donruss - Listed: 394 Actual: 406 Difference: +12
1989 Donruss Baseball's Best - Listed: 19 Actual: 20 Difference: +1
1989 Donruss Baseball's Best Blue Test Proof- Listed: 1 Actual: 1 Difference: 0
1989 Fleer - Listed: 401 Actual: 391 Difference: -10
1989 Fleer Glossy - Listed: 4 Actual: 4 Difference: 0
1989 K-Mart - Listed: 58 Actual: 58 Difference: 0
1989 O-Pee-Chee - Listed: 10 Actual: 10 Difference: 0
1989 Panini - Listed: 1 Actual: 1 Difference: 0
1989 Red Foley Stickers - Listed: 3 Actual: 3 Difference: 0
1989 Score - Listed: 183 Actual: 183 Difference: 0
1989 Sportflics - Listed: 11 Actual: 12 Difference: +1
1989 St. Vincent Stamps - Listed: 2 Actual: 2 Difference: 0
Probably the biggest surprise here was the revelation of three more Bowman Tiffany. I have no idea where they came from or when I picked them up. It's a fairly scarce card. One more wouldn't have been much of a surprise, but to have 50% more than I thought I did is a bit of a head scratcher. Somewhere along the way I credited myself with ten additional '89 Fleer. Probably a math error at some point while adding a bunch at once.
1989 Topps - Listed: 750 Actual: 758 Difference: +8
1989 Topps Baseball Talk - Listed: 1 Actual: 1 Difference: 0
1989 Topps Big - Listed: 15 Actual: 16 Difference: +1
1989 Topps Stickers - Listed: 5 Actual: 5 Difference: 0
1989 Topps Tiffany - Listed: 8 Actual: 9 Difference: +1
1989 Upper Deck - Listed: 197 Actual: 199 Difference: +2
No real surprises here. The total change for 1989 was 24 additional cards to add to the total. That brings the total audit total up to +411, a number far larger than I expected to find, and there's still a good number of years to go through.
Congrats on the pup.. let's see a pic!
