When I went to compose the June new people post, I realized that I forgot to write a post for May. Oops. I can't remember if I have forgotten in the past or not, which is kind of funny in and of itself.
I scanned 57 new people in May, a large majority of them from the AHL box my Mom gave me for Glad I'm Not Dead Day.
New people was pretty big! Many of the people appear in both places but there are more people added than scanned. I got 475 new cards in May and scanned 695 cards
Moving to June, all numbers went down, despite the fact that I made a rare trip to Target and Walmart and bought some blasters, most of which were people I already had in my collection. May 1st- Glad I'm Not Dead Day- is treated by my family as a second birthday as it was my second chance at life after coming literally 5 minutes away from dying in 2013, and has become one of the major card receiving days of the year, with my birthday and Christmas.
Only 27 new people were scanned in June, with every single one of them except 1 also being added in the month. (Brett Berard). 14 of the 27 were from the WNBA Draft set I bought from Panini Instant.
New people added for June shows the color coding that I use for myself to make it find who I'm looking for easier. My four main sports get a color unique to them. I normally screencap it as soon as I finish entering them into my chart, but I made a mistake with the very first person alphabetically here, originally listing her under M. Then I looked up her Wikipedia page and realized that Akoa is part of her last name, not a middle name. WNBA again dominates the new people- most of them from the same Instant set, but I also bought a Prizm blaster for some reason- I will post about that at some point, probably. All the miscellaneous sports people came from the SI for Kids magazine which arrived on June 30th, barely making it into the month.
I scanned 532 cards during the month- most of them in the last week as it got too hot to paint models- and I added 346 new cards during the month, more than half of them from the aforementioned trip to Target/Wal-Mart.
