I didn't work a single day in 2009. I've I had to sell over half my collection. My wife got gifts of very little substance for her birthday, anniversary and Christmas. The economy ruined the entertainment industry that had already been crippled by the writers strike.
but you know what...
2010 is going to be great. Hell, it has to be better than last year. I'm going to get work very soon, spoil my wife with gifts and rebuild some of my collection. I'm keeping positive and you should too. Here are my wishes for all of you in 2010...
That all of your packs are untampered
That all of your big pulls are from a player/team that you support
That all of your 8's come back as 9's from PSA
That you pop a ton of low pop common 10's and sell them to crazy lunatics on ebay shortly thereafter
That you accomplish a lot of you new year collecting goals.
That you actually have collecting goals
That you all get supported by the members of this forum like I did in 2009
Happy new year all. Thanks for everything this year. It's been a pleasure to be a part of this forum and I'm looking forward to a great year with all of you.

i've only been jobless since May, so it necessitated a good kick in the pants, but working from home creates a social black hole.....at least, i don't need to call anyone "boss".
Happy New Year Mike.
Please keep your spirits up and stay positive and know things will improve.
If you recall, I had a terrible 2008 (my worst year ever) and a very bad 2007...All due to the Writers Strike (WGA) (Out of work from Nov 07 to late March 08, a bad work injury April, 2008 (out of work for almos 3 months), and a very bad work slow down because the Actors Guild let their contract expire..Work was very scarce last year. I also had to sell most of my prized possessions which were from my late father just to make the bare monthly bills.
I started 2009 very bad too...Off all of January and some of Feb....Then I got onto a project and went from one to another to another and ended up with my best year ever! Still short of where I need to be for my family of 4, but very encouraging.
Please remember you are not alone!
Take care and best wishes Mike!

Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.
Keeping a positive attitude in your head, and God in your heart, is a great recipe for success!
You and your wife have each other and are in good health. Everything else is a plus!
If this year has done anything positive for people, it has taught them how to cherish what they have, that many take for granted.
You and your wife battled through 2009 with love and determination. May that chapter in your life never have to be reopened.
Here's to a very PROSPEROUS 2010 for you both!
Salute,

Here's to a better "financial" year for everyone.
In all seriousness, here's to a great new year and hoping you and your family have better times ahead. Cheers.
Hopefully the people of CA and the Politicians realize how vital the entertainment industry is do our state.

<< <i>From a financial standpoint I agree with Mike's yearly assessment, but in my opinion, a year in which you got to marry the woman you love can never be deemed as the worst ever.

Crap, you're right Nick. Don't tell my wife
My Podcast - Now FEATURED on iTunes
For more than 50-years, my New Years Day lucky-menu has been:
Black Eyed Peas
Turnip Greens
Corn Bread
...................
Black Eyed Peas are the most important luck feature.
A few decades ago, I was traveling someplace and I could not find
any BEPs. I finally bought four-cans of CPB chicken-gumbo soup at
a bodega and culled enough BEPs out to keep my luck alive.
................................
It is also important to ONLY do things on NYD that you are prepared
to do for the remainder of the year.
It's said that what you do on NYD, you will do for the entire year.
I will be listing stuff for sale, riding horses, posting on the internet,
feeding dogs and cats, studying stock charts, and going to a movie.

Stay strong and things will get better. Four years ago if anybody told me what my 2008 and 2009 would be like I would have laughed at them! After my little girl was diagnosed with Cancer in 2003 I figured nothing could be worse ... then the last two years hit ... I learned NOT to take anything for granted. For me I know 2010 is going to probably be a rough year as well, but I'm hoping not as bad as the past two.
ONE DAY things will get on the right track for both of us. Hoping it's 2010 for you and your wife.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY FRIENDS ON THE BOARDS. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THESE BOARDS REALLY HELPED ME KEEP MY SANITY THIS PAST YEAR.
Wishing everyone and your families a year filled with HEALTH!!!!!!!!

Appreciation is knowing that some are worse off than you.
Elation is thinking you are better off than anyone else.
