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.
Lake George looks like an amazing place! Good timing on the photograph... with the rainbow in the background.
