A few days late, but its time for the NOVEMBER update!
If last month was quality over quantity, November is quite the opposite. Definitely a good month in terms of quantity, not so much on the quality. Not very many serial numbered cards, and even though I tripled last month's output, I had LESS serial numbered rookies this month. I did crack the 2,800 card milestone, and I still hold out hope that my new pushed back target month (March 2011) will yield card 3,000.
52 cards received in November 2010. 17 different cards this month, and my total puts me 185 cards away from 3,000.
52 cards added November 2010 (2,815 total)
38 RC cards added November 2010
6 serial numbered cards added November 2010
5 serial numbered RC cards added November 2010
HIGHLIGHTS:
Two more 2004 Bowman Uncirculated Gold #184. These aren't serial numbered, but Topps released the print run for them, and there were only 110 made. I have 80 of the 110 (72.7%).
Five more 2004 Bowman Chrome Uncirculated White Refractors #163. Same deal as the card mentioned above, except the run on this was 210. I have 126 of the 210 (60%).
Picked up another of my favorite RC of his, 2004 Upper Deck Finite HG #217. Number 23 of 275 (8.3%).
Six 2004 Bowman Chrome #163 (122 total)
Nine 2004 Topps Chrome #262 (128 total)
MILESTONES:
#2,800 came in this month!!! Nothing special, but card 2,800 was the same as card 2,700, a 2004 Topps Total Silver.
As always, thanks for checking out my collection and my threads. See you after the holidays for the December update!Last edited by jrlebert; 12-03-2010 at 12:47 PM.

Happy New Year everyone! It's the last update for cards received in 2010, so without further delay, its the DECEMBER update.
I've been lucky enough to pick up some great cards for my dad this month (Yankees stuff mostly) for Christmas, and I've been able to add some great cards to my PC as well (Barry Sanders 3-color patch, finally!), but on the Matt Ware front, it has been slim pickings. A little quality mixed in, and a neat milestone for one card in particular (which I posted a separate thread about earlier in the week), but nothing too major to end 2010.
On a side note, I started this thread in March of this year, and looking back, I have been able to add 318 cards to the Matt Ware Supercollection since the first update. Pretty sweet! I also have added a running count to the total of serial numbered cards that I have, so enjoy!
14 cards added in December 2010. (2,829 total) 8 different cards this month, and my total puts me 171 cards away from 3,000.
11 RC cards added December 2010
6 serial numbered cards added December 2010 (1,126 total)
3 serial numbered RC cards added December 2010 (711 total)
HIGHLIGHTS:
Two cards that I don't see very often:
2004 SP Authentic Gold #103 /50 (my 8th of 50 made; 16%)
2004 Upper Deck Exclusives #236 /50 (my 6th of 50 made; 12%)
also picked up 5 2004 Topps Total #424 RC's, and you can read more about that under the "MILESTONES" section below...
MILESTONES:
#300! I was able to pick up my 300th (!) 2004 Bowman #184 RC. I know its not serial numbered, rare, or valuable, but its still pretty remarkable, I think.
With about 170 cards left until the mega milestone of 3,000, I still think with three good months I could do it in March, but it will certainly take a lot of work. I'd really like to add quality, not just unnumbered base RC's, so we shall see if it's possible!
Thanks again to everyone who checks, comments, or looks for Matt Ware cards when they are at shows or the LCS! See you next month for the first update of 2011!Last edited by jrlebert; 02-01-2011 at 11:25 AM.

thanks guys! believe me, I will let the entire board know when I get there... I guess I have to get to 2,900 first though, right? slowly but surely I'll get there!
what I am looking forward to most is that now that I am tracking every month, this year I'll be able to know exactly how many of his cards I will have added!

Nice job. Have you met Ware before? He should get you some nice game used stuff to add to your collection.
