2000 Topps: What I have done so far

Well, I managed to get two posts in a row done. The way the rest of the week is looking, that may not be the case for the next 7-10 days or so. It is going to start getting crazy at work any day now, and will be like that through the 4th, and we also have some of my wife's family coming to town from like the 1st through the 7th or something like that, and unfortunately for me, they are the kind of people that want to do something with you like every day that they are here, so for me, that means get home from work, get everything prepared for the next day/clean, and then waste the rest of the night with them. I usually get home from work around 2:30 in the afternoon, and have free time from then until about 4:15 when my wife comes to get me and we get our son from day care (kind of our daily tradition). I usually try to change clothes, let the dogs outside, check my garden to see if anything grew, make my lunch for the next day, and work on customs. I think I will be coming home later and later every day until July 4th is over with, and really the only other time I have to make customs is Tuesdays (my usual off day), and Sunday afternoons after church (which will probably be spent with guess who? My wife's family!). I was really hoping to get through this set of posts by the end of the week, but I guess it might now happen. On the bright side, though, Big Brother starts tonight, I am going on vacation on July 29th (where I will finally see my Detroit Tigers play at their home stadium in Detroit), and that first day of vacation I will be hitting up a card show. I will probably end up posting about the show sometime in August when we get back, but that will give you something to look forward to in a month or so. Now that you got through all my whining and complaining about the next week of my life, here are some 2000 Topps customs to make you happy again.

I went ahead and worked on the 2000 Topps Reference Page, and went ahead and listed every team that I had on the checklist, and every team that was finished. I think this could be a good system in the future, and eventually, I want to do this for every set page that I have. For now, I will try to update each one as I work on them, but I really do hope to get them more uniform, and eventually to have every one completed. Thanks for checking out my latest post.
