New People March 2026

 March was a crazy month. I had a very painful surgery as I've written about which put me out of action for a couple weeks. I still managed to scan 1465 cards, which is the most I've done in a month since January of 2025. I was really enjoying the scanning process when I was able to. 


140 new people were scanned this month. A pretty good mix of every topic except racing- none were new from there. The G-League cards I got for my birthday in October, but just got scanned, added a lot of people making their first appearance. 

Ever since I started the Alphabetical Directory, now 7 years and 4 months ago (!), letters M and S have been in a battle for the lead with most people scanned. M hit 1400 people this month, with 1404. S fell JUST short, with 1399 people, but B actually took the lead, with 1406 people! I believe this is the first time B has ever held the lead although I'd have to go back and reread all the monthly recap posts to be sure. 

Letter H became only the fourth letter to have 1000 people scanned this month as well, coming in at 1009. 


47 new people joined my collection, with the majority of them coming from two stacks of football cards I was given, and the Topps Now Olympic cards, of which 19 of 21 arrived during the month of March. They just barely didn't fit into one screencap so some names are repeated here.
