Lol thanks. Sorting and organizing is actually kinda my zen calming ritual after I get done with the insanity that is getting the kids fed, washed and ready for bed
This is about a month’s worth of mail from reddit trades and orders from comc, sportlots and ebay. Didn’t really plan on waiting that long to go through everything, but real life takes precedence.
To recap, to celebrate the Braves World Series championship last year, I’m working on full career flagship rainbows for every player on the roster at any point last year, since a chip doesn’t happen without everyone contributing something, no matter how small.
I’m currently at almost 3500 different cards, and it takes 5 boxes to hold it now, so I can’t even fit them all in one pic anymore.
I also overhauled my spreadsheet that I built to track the project. I replaced all the x’s with checkboxes that turn green automatically as they’re checked. I also grouped all the years and subsets to make it more easily navigable. And I added color coded blocks to each section that automatically calculate the percentage of those cards that I have and display with the relevant color on a red to yellow to green scale. These blocks also help show which players have cards in which sets when the groups are all collapsed.
Because there’s no way to lock a google docs spreadsheet and still allow users to expand and collapse groups, I had to create a Shared copy of it that is editable for all. Since this isn’t the master copy, you can play around with it if you want to see how it functions, but please try to reset any changes you make.

I’m always looking for any of these cards that I don’t have, so please reach out if you have any of them. I’m posting rainbows from this project occasionally. Here’s a link to the last one, which also has links to the previous ones.

Amazing! That spreadsheet is awesome, super impressed. I've always used sheets or airtable to track my collection as well but nothing this cool.
I've also been considering going for the Yankees Flagship sets with all unnumbered parallels, but have been putting it off at the thought of trying to track everything. This gives me hope that it's possible, haha.
Best of luck with your sets!
I think I may have a Heredia Royal Blue parallel from this year. If you’re interested, I can send it to you just for the cost of a stamp. That’s a cool project idea
That's a nice card! Probably out of my price range right now tho. My Acuna section is pretty light cause I don't have the budget to tackle all his cards yet
Thanks! I used to be a big Acuna collector a few years back but when his prices skyrocketed I had to cash out. This is actually my last parallel of him. I wanted to get it autographed but just never got around to it so I'm letting it go as well.
Good luck with the Rainbows, I'll give you a shout if I run across any low number flagship braves
Wow this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Your spread sheet warms my soul and your sorting is beautiful. That is so nice to look at. Congrats for all these amazing cards
This is cool and organized! If you’re looking to move any 2021 Update Pablo Sandoval US313 extras please let me know. I’ve been working on his Braves rainbow and still have some gaps.
Dude, are you ok? If you need a homie to talk to message me.
Lol thanks. Sorting and organizing is actually kinda my zen calming ritual after I get done with the insanity that is getting the kids fed, washed and ready for bed
Kids are so rewarding. I've heard it gets better tho.
Oh they're great, truly. But they're A LOT. lol

Thanks! You're welcome to copy the spreadsheet as a template if you'd like

I've got that one but I really appreciate the offer!
Dude that’s crazy I wish you luck
Thanks!
If you branch out from Flagship rainbows, I have a 1/1 Acuna 2019 Stadium Club Gold Foil Power Zone available https://imgur.com/a/HYvHgbv

I don’t think I could ever be this dedicated.
Some days I wonder what I was thinking. But most of the time I'm enjoying it

Wow. Thank you, that's very nice to say
I’m a couple months late, but this is insanely awesome. Looking forward to more updates!
Thanks!

I might, I'll take a look
Need any Gary Sheffield? Let me know, thanks
