Inspiration to Keep Going!

 Many readers ask where I get the inspiration to keep collecting cards.  They struggle to see how you can keep motivated particularly when you are operating with such razor thing margins to turning a profit.  These thin margins are even further compounded by the pandemic meaning people had less money to spend on hobbies like baseball cards.  This post focuses on finding the inspiration to keep going.

Many people struggle to stay grounded in the hobby when they first start and overcoming that is simple.  Taking time off isn't the worst thing in the world and if you aren't enjoying the hobby it's perfectly fine to get out.  But for the people who need inspiration, it's important to keep focused on what keeps you going.  If it's to make money, you have to work for it.  Nothing comes easy in life and money is certainly included in that.  If it's to collect the most cards, go to all the auctions, look at all the websites, find that hidden gem.    

At the end of the day like many things in life, you can't have somebody else want it for you.  You have to want it for yourself!  Saying you will do something is not actually doing something as many people have yet to understand.  There are a lot of life lessons to be learned from baseball and a life long of memories to be made as well.  It's up to you if you want to learn and reach for those memories.
