I do some model rail roading myself, it's a complete blast!Trains are fun because they are much more hands on than collecting cards Hockey cards are still a main focus for me though! I have narrowed down my want list which really helps as well. Keep doing what you enjoy!Baseballislife1984https://www.blogger.com/profile/00798584224684604100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180054214906698045.post-25916770789666330282013-12-19T12:27:45.567-05:002013-12-19T12:27:45.567-05:00Thanks!

I probably should consider narrowing down my collecting needs too. Happy Holidays!Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180054214906698045.post-85013178602147304282013-12-19T08:45:01.897-05:002013-12-19T08:45:01.897-05:00I am definitely finding out that its hard to maint...I am definitely finding out that its hard to maintain both at the same level. Model railroading is a lot more hands on and time consuming than hockey cards, and it can be expensive depending on how you go about it. <br /><br />Cards give me something a bit more simple but still plenty enjoyable. Moving forward I will try to balance both, but will likely lean towards one at any given time. <br /><br />Right now I just finished the layout I was working on, so I may jump back into the card world a bit more actively for a little while here.

In my ...It is hard maintaining two diverse hobbies. In my own experiences, one hobby tends to wax while the other wanes. <br /><br />It was like that with action figures and hockey cards in the late 1980s, where hockey became my main focus (but figures were still a hobby). <br /><br />In the late 1990s, action figures again became my main focus, and hockey cards became a here and there kind of thing. <br /><br />Then in the mid-2000s -- really after the 2006 Olympics -- hockey cards were back for me, and my action figure hobby died down.<br /><br />I guess the point I'm trying to make is, do whatever makes you happy. It's cool to have more than one hobby, and you can always return to it later in life.
