Time for a clean break
Sometimes you do something a little too well. It becomes hard to escape even after you’ve outgrown it. People want you to keep playing your hits and even your naysayers beg for more of what gets them going.
I enjoyed my blog, but it was just too associated with a certain platform of digital collectibles. Even as I tried to move to other content, I could tell the interest in what I was writing was so much more when I went back to the old topics.
It’s tempting to just give people what they want, but that material is not something I’m interested in exploring any longer. It’s time for new folks to write about the new problems over there and that’s a game for people who still care.
I’m not in that group.
But I still love collecting. I enjoy discussing the business of trading cards. I like writing about what these dumb pieces of cardboard have meant to me. I like reading about what they have meant to you. And I enjoy sharing what I am collecting and what I used to have in my collection.
This isn’t a cash-grab Substack. It’s always going to be free. This is just a blank slate on a platform that is content-first. I don’t need to worry about anything but the words and a few pictures here and there.
I hope you enjoy this new adventure, but no hard feelings if this is not what you want to read from me. I may write about my NFT adventures with the sandwich crew one day, but it will be from a personal perspective.
I don’t know how frequently I will post something new, but I will be pulling over my posts from the blog that fit this new approach to add a little history. Just don’t expect that pace for the new content.
Take care everyone.
