To the People Who Utilize the Sports Card Blogroll...I Am So Sorry!!!

I didn't realize that I haven't written about updating the Sports Card Blogroll since April on this humble, little blog, and then I did an update roughly three months ago, and didn't bother writing a post.

For that, I am sorry.

I know readership on my blog is down by almost 50% a day, at least that's what my Sitemeter says. I know that since I've been back at work, the quality of posts here has collapsed to the point where I don't think anybody cares anymore.

I feel bad about that.

I used to keep tabs on the Hobby Blogging Community religiously. But since being employed again (I'm happy about this, don't get me wrong), updating the big Blogroll has taken a backseat.

But since October, I've been able to bring back the Random Cards of the Day, the regular daily segments, the Minor League cards, and Team Sets. So why not, before November, update the Blogroll.

Now, I have officially lost count of how many blogs have come and gone since April. I can tell you that on the last update, the following blogs were removed from the roster:

• Tomahawk Chopping - Cardboard & More!
• Classic Card Collector
• Cardboard Zoo
• Baseball Card Monthly
• Bass on Balls
• Free Baseball Cards
• Clear Cut Cards
• Hardwood Cardboard
• A Box Of Old Basketball Cards
• Cards From The Crease - A Hockey Card Blog
• Sports 'n More Trading Cards
• Fan Pack Success
• Field Level View
• Manupatches & Mustaches
• The Wax Morgue

As of today, the SCBR holds 369 active blogs. These are being removed because they have been inactive for 6, 7, 8, and even 9 months of inactivity. Get ready, it's a long list:

• Wax Pack Relapse
• Carl Crawford Cards
• 1st & Home
• Baseball Cards, Sports and Life
• Pictures Of Men
• A Box of Old Cards
• Who Made the Grade
• The Common (Card) Man
• Pence, Nix, and Pierre
• League Leader in Italics
• Serial Numbered Insanity
• Condition: Poor
• callstrike
• The ProspectNation Blog
• Midwest Collector

• Varsity Collectibles
• Cards For Free - Blog
• Make Mine a Double - My Swing at the 1941 Double Plays
• Ride of the Ancient Mariner
• Saints of the Cheap Seats
• Vintage Cubs Cards
• the bbbros.ca blog

That's 38 blogs that will be removed from the SCBR shortly. The total will bring the number of blogs on the main site down to 331.

Whoa!!!

There are so many things that have yet been written about the Hobby we all love. It is the hope that as the year comes to a close that the new year brings us fans of the blogs new writers, new voices, and hopefully new collectors who are willing to share their collections with the rest of the world.

And maybe their blogs will be added to the active sites that the SCBR.

Sincerely,

JayBee Anama
