The desk in my office...

tsalems1

I can never keep it clean and organized!! Am I the only one?

ndleo

That looks just like my office as well but the stacks aren't as nice

Ironmanfan

I'm using the same mouse pad as you...LOL

The question is.....have those cards found a home on your desk or is that the weekly mailbox haul that you have yet to process.

If they have found a home, I would agree that you are not organized.
If they are all recent additions, I would say you need to hire someone to keep the flow in check.

Either way, awesome picture with great stacks to go through when you get bored!

I keep my "processing spot" in my closet on a shelf so I can always close the doors to keep the illusion of organization on my desk.

Edit - is that a card to the right of the power strip? I am calling that one a 3 or a 4 if you were inclined to submit.

Looks like there is a pretty nice Baylor rookie on that desk!

EagleEyeKid

What's the cutter for?

Stewie

I think the cutter is there to intimidate people with sticky fingers.

mrmint23

What card are you hiding on the floor?

FavreFan1971

What is the card on the floor by the power strip?

StamkosFan

What does that blue PSA sticker say next to the cutter?

psychump

Remind me never to buy from you. A card sent back from PSA with a qualifier and a paper cutter! I like the '71 Bill Melton to the left.

Looks pretty good to me Tom.

I'm at the bookstore - when I get home - it might be fun if I showed you my office right now - good luck even "getting" to the desk!

BTW - is that a card on the floor?

Dpeck100

Do people actualy trim cards with a standard paper cutter? I would think the blade would do a terrible job on the thicker cardboard and be impossible to get straight.

Stewie

It's not a standard cutter if the blade has a jagged edge.

Brad Edelman - who? Looks like a lineman for the New Orleans Saints

These are all new cards picked up last week in Canada. I still have several box loads that have not been gone through.
All available product is well organized by a numbering system.

<< <i>Am I the only one? >>

I don't think so Tom.

I've got to dig into it this eve - gotta get not 1 but 2 yrs of membership subs in!

VitoCo1972

I'll take the 65 topps hockey!

Love that Piedmont chair Mike!

Tom, I laughed when I saw this thread, as mine looked similar. It actually inspired me to tidy it up a little.

Standard paper cutters work great for standard sized cards. I bought one a few years ago because I had some Wild Cards sheets I wanted to cut up. I was quite impressed at the job it did. As far as thickness goes, I would guess about the thickness of 3 cards would be the limit as to what you could cut.

Again, what's with the cutter? If you say you use it to cut your veggies, I'll believe you.
If you choose not to answer, then you've answered my question.

Really?

Like nobody else here has a cutting board...

I guess I would be lying if I said I used the board to cut the over-sized Fedex printable shipping labels I use on most shipments... wow!

tntdynomite

Oh my ! What about the scissor ? Is that for trimming corners ? And the calculator, for tallying the excessive corporate profits. Perish the thought.

EagleEyeKid

I use scissors to cut excess off shipping labels. It does a pretty straight job.

MULLINS5

I have a Carl Rotary Trimmer similar to the one pictured and use scissors to cut the excess off of my shipping labels.

Nice looking desk to me, Mike cool pic brother.

Tom,

I don't think everyone realizes how many OPC box bottoms you cut from the boxes and then sub. If they did, they'd understand the cutter.

I use my cutter for magazine issue cards like Swedish Rekord Journal, and for newspaper issue cards like 1936 Detroit Times Sport Stamps, but there are plenty of other sets out there that require cutting as well.
