When will I get 1 million?
/’I wonder when I will hit the 1 million mark, my long-term goal? Let me estimate a time I think I might get. The last couple of years I have averaged a gain of about 25,000 business cards. I am at 68,900 right now. If I were at “0″ it would take me about 40 years. I have almost 3 years worth right now. Note almost. LOL So that means I take 3 years off of that. That is 37 years. Okay now. It is 2005, I added 37 years, so that will make it 2042. I am almost 29. So in 2042 I will be turning 66 years old. Wow! That is a very long time for my long-term goal. That truly is a long-term goal don’t you think? However, I do believe that as each year goes by I will gain more and more and more business cards. I am sure though by time you get close to 1 million it is harder and harder to not keep from having duplicates, but thsoe duplicates are cool. They can be used for trading. I hope that more and more print shops will let me pick up their overruns, misprints and such. I hope they don’t toss them. I can use them for my collection and for trades. just the same to anyone who has a stack or even 1. I will take any amount 1 to infinity. I am not picky on if the business card has writing on it, pin holes, torn, damaged or out of mint condition. I am not picky. As long as it is a business card it has a home in my collection. Wow! This entry is a long one. Prob. one of my longest entries ever. I enjoy posting my entries to it and allowing you all to view my entries. With your help I can get it early. Matter fact I hope I get it early. I love to see my mail box full! So fill it up today! I will be surprised if this journal entry will still be around in 37 years from now. If it is, it will be way way way back and will take a long time to get to from the current entry by then.

Nice suprise…
I got a nice little suprise today in the mail. I got a small box of full of business cards. it has about 700 and a small handful of duplicates.
My overall total is now over 68,900!
Thanks everyone that has helped to build my collection and those who are going to help build my collection. Keep spreading the word and sending me business cards. I would really appreciate it very much. Just tell them you know a crazy-insane person that collects business cards. LOL.
