Being that it's the first of the month, that means it's upload day, and I knew as of May 1st that the June upload would be the largest team update ever. On May 1st, we celebrate "Glad I'm Not Dead Day", to celebrate the second chance I got at life back in 2013. And of course, when it comes time for gift giving, that means cards! And this year it was the Factory set and a tin of the New York Rangers Centennial set.
Of course, I prioritized scanning them and I got them all scanned successfully. Those, combined with the other cards I scanned this month, saw me have 243 Rangers cards to upload this month, the largest update ever since I began my Cardboard History Gallery nearly 8 years ago.
Here's a behind the scenes look at how I do my uploading. The computer automatically puts them in order by title of card, and I go through and upload them in order based on whatever is oldest. I tried doing it alphabetically by team but I found that wasn't much fun so switched away quickly. Then I just slide them over from one window into the team listing, and done. It's actually really quite simple, but time consuming. Doing the team update is usually my favorite part of each month, although sometimes I enjoy updating each person's album more. I have not done the people part yet, that's always the most work and I always do it last, but I am curious to see how many people from the Rangers Centennial set will be new to my collection. I'll find out soon, and share it in the New People post, whenever I finish.
It also put my Rangers collection over 2000 cards scanned! To put that into perspective, the Boston Bruins are in second place, with 860 cards scanned.
