Here’s a brief introduction to a project I completed in 2016. Back in 2010, I had the idea to make a website that features scans of every card in my Frank Thomas collection. The goal was to have visual access to my collection from any device so I can enjoy it wherever I am. The other benefit was the ability to check my collection when I’m at a show to help minimize the prospect of unintentionally buying doubles. It took some time to figure out the correct technology but began working on it by summer 2012. By 2015, I was pretty burned out and depressed because I felt like I was never gonna finish. Scanning my collection then cropping each card front and back together was just taking too much time on my own. So I hired a VA in March of 2015. His help has been instrumental to project progress and we finished by late 2016. Without his help with the cropping jobs, I’d still be working on it today. You can access the Museum by clicking on the link in the footer. The Museum gets updated regularly and to date, it hosts 7300+ scans of my Frank Thomas cards and another 1500+ scans of non-Thomas cards. Watch the video for a review.

6500+ unique cards??? That is one radical card (“radicard”?) collection, my friend! Seriously, the time and effort you’ve put into this is truly admirable. I don’t have nearly the collection you do, but I’m proud of mine, nonetheless. I’ve been buying things here and there for nearly 25 years, acquiring cards and memorabilia either from shops or ebay or online friends. I probably don’t have anything that a thousand other collectors don’t already have, but it’s all me, all mine, and I’m happy with it. 🙂
Thanks, Jim! 🙂 The quality of a collection isn’t about the size, it’s that it’s yours. The only thing that matters is having fun. Be proud of your collection.
Congrats Pat! It’s finally finished. I hope you popped a bottle of champagne and sprayed it all over the Radicards room (just like you would if you had won the World Series).
Thanks, Dan! 🙂 Haha! Good call on the champagne.
