Its been some time, but i have been very busy with personal things and also sorting through more business cards that came in the mail.  I recieved the ABCC newsletter for February and am just super busy at this point.  When i do have chances i will post, but it will be few and far between.  Thanks for understanding.

Happy collecting everyone!

I want to thank Jeff H. for the birthday bc's.  Thay are appreciated.

I was watching tv the other day and had a commercial about a CEO for 7/11 and part of the commercial they had a camera panned close up to the business cards on his desk.  It was cool.  It had the 7/11 graphic on the upper left hand corner but the rest was black and white like a standard bc.

Happy collecting everyone!

Right after i blogged of my COC experience, I got a box in the mail.  It was full of business cards from a former collector.  After sifting through and taking out doubles, I ended up with 416 different bc's. I am now up to 24,315 cards.  Great surprise today!

Happy collecting everyone!

Late Christmas present!

I had to run a few errands in town today and after i decided to stop by the Chamber of Commerce and see what they had.  I walked in and directly to my right, there was a shelf full of pamphlets and brochures of places in Maine and then i saw it.  A single shelve just with business cards.  I picked as many as i could.  I just came home and went through the stack.  Not including doubles, i managed to snag 47 different bc's.  Included in the 47 are some favorites.  They are as follows:

1: 3 real estate agents with pic (Kieffer Insurance)
2: 1 Veteran (Maine Veterans Homes)
3: 1 odd (TAPIS: Paranormal Investigation Society)
4: 1 Hotel/motel (Hampton Inn)
5: 1 restaurant/fast food (Tim Hortons)

At the end of the year, my current count is: 23,899

Happy collecting everyone and a Happy New Year!  Hope 2011 brings good collecting and trading.

New cards

I received 2 bc's from my mom.  Both came from the same person.  1 is of a laundromat and the other is wood carving.

Later on, I visited my Aunt and she had a snack bag full of business cards.  After sorting through them and taking out doubles, the count came out to 50 total to add to my collection.  A good number of them are going into my favorites categories.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year and Happy collecting everyone!

Taking a Christmas break

First of all i picked up a general bc a couple days ago.  It is Jones Detailing for Autos.

Next i sent out my trade to Leroy yesterday so he should get it within the next few days.

Finally i want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.  I will be taking a few days off from bc's for the holidays.  Hope everyone enjoys.

Happy collecting everyone!

ABCC

I received b-day cards from Jim and Sue today.  Thank you very much, they were great.  Along with that came the ABCC newsletter and my membership card  for 2011.

I love being part of this group.  I get to read news from all collectors on a monthly basis.  This group has been a real treat to be part of and i hope i will be part of it for many years to come.

Happy collecting everybody!

Another pickup

So i have been going to this chinese place for years and i had never seen business cards displayed there.  Well, tonight the wife wanted chinese and i ordered take out to go pickup.  When i got there, I was standing at the counter to pay for it.  While the hostess was processing my payment, i noticed in the corner of my eye a mini calender and behind it was some business cards.  Thats where they've been all along and i had never noticed them before.  its a great one to add to my collection since it belongs in one of my favorite categories.

P.S. Ed, i left a comment for you if you have the chance to check it out under todays pickups!

Happy collecting everyone!
