August was a busy month of scanning, with almost all of it dedicated to the cards I got at the National.
I ended up scanning 117 new people, of which 111 were added to my collection at the National! 41 of the 117 came from the box of Historic Autographs 1918: End of the Great War that I purchased there. I scanned 841 cards during the month.
Of the 6 who did not come from the National, two came from a blaster of 2023-24 Donruss NBA that I bought online, 2 came from the Topps Now Olympic cards, 1 was purchased as a single at FanaticsFest and one was purchased as a single at my local card shop.
Of the 7 major categories of my collection, only Football did not get a new person scanned in August.
Non-Sport clearly led the way with 49 new people, nearly half.
Hockey added 27.
Auto Racing added 14, all F1 drivers that I found in the boxes at the National. Basketball also added 13.
The rest were baseball and Other Sports.
Also of note, letter H became just the 4th letter to hit 900 people scanned, joining B, M and S, all of which have cleared the 1000 mark.
Auto Racing hit the 1800 person mark.
It took me a while to get everything posted because I was in Lake George for almost a week, my favorite place in the world. I didn't get to go at all last year due to injury so it was very good to be back. (I dropped a full can of paint on my toe and smashed it up pretty badly). I took more than 6000 photos and I'm still working on getting them posted on my main website, too.
