Last night
turned out to be productive for me. I made it about 1/3 of the way through my
non-sports collection and that includes organizing three sets and listing my
needs to complete the sets. I was able to get themes together (Simpsons, Star Wars,
etc.) in one box and separated so when I collate those sets it is all together
instead of me having to go through a bunch of different boxes and binders.
The best thing to happen was when I was collating
the 1994 Cardz The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy cards. I bought the box a couple
of years ago, ripped the pack and then put all the cards back in to the box.
Last night as I was separating the cards I found out I had pulled a Douglas
Adams autograph and didn’t even notice it because he signed the back of the cards, not the
fronts. I posted about it on Twitter last night, this is easily one of my
favorite found treasures ever.
The downside is that I was 4 cards short of a complete set and as insane as it is, one of the cards I am missing is #42 which is just a large 42 on the front. The card should have been a box topper in each box. In the book, and later movie, the number 42 is the answer to the meaning of life. It took the supercomputer Deep Thought 7.5 million years to determine that answer and this card should never be missing from a box. It is like opening a box of 2017 Upper Deck Clerks and not finding card #37, it just shouldn't happen. LOL
