    I'm so glad I'm not the only one either. I've got 7 stacks, total about 100+ cards:
    2 stacks of Rose - Donruss and Fleer cards to scan
    1 stack of low grade HOF'ers, dunno what to do with
    4 stacks of other cards I keep meaning to list on ebay

    But my desk is a mess anyway between work, cards, cards I make, and computer stuff.

    keeping my ears open for oddball cards of Rose from the 60's and 70's.

    Approximately 18 stacks of 20-30 cards each consisting of two stacks of each of my set registry. One that is ready for grading and one that needs to be check for possible grading. That doesn't include the three wax boxes, a stack of old Reds photos, programs and media guides. And one stack of Graded cards waiting to be filed into my sets in the closet. Sometimes I can't even see the top of my desk and my wife has to ask me to pick up so she can do the bills. Now that my son is 18 months he is everywhere and I don't have as much time for my cards as I used to. I guess now that I think about it I'll have to straighten it up tonight.

    Looking for 81-84 Topps Stickers in PSA 9 or better, 81 Topps Scratch offs, 83 Topps Fold outs in PSA 8 or better, 83 Fleer Stamps and 81/86 Fleer Star Stickers in PSA 9 or better.

    Zero. If I left any cards in the open, they'd become instant cat toys.

    Now, in my closet, I've got 3 of those boxes PSA sends back, full with future submissions. They're arrange in some random order. Well, it wasn't random when I first sorted them, but since I've forgotten why I sorted them that way, they're random.

    One pile is a stack of cards that are on a psa set that wouldnt go in for some reason labeled " on registry, submitted"

    Two piles of " Not on registry, submitted" Waiting for some cards to hit the registry.

    Two piles of PSA rejects of crossovers Im going to crack and resub to see if they go, from "miscolored" to "minisizerq" to my personal fav " evid trim"

    One pile of loose cards ready for submission

    One pile of FB cards Im getting ready to put up for sale as soon as I figure out my new scanner

    One pile of cards for me to take home and put in my safe, where I keep my entire collection.

    Great question, kind of en eye opener to our slovenly ways
