Eleven


Wrigley Wax went live for the first time eleven years ago today.  Here's a link to that debut post.  At the time I was reading lots of baseball card blogs, but I couldn't find a Cub-specific one.  I decided to start one and Wrigley Wax was born.

It's still here 4,059 posts later.

Since that first post...

....the Cubs collection has grown by nearly 10,000 cards

.... the Cubs collection has grown by nearly 200 brands (I had just Topps, Donruss, Fleer, and Heritage at the time)

....the Cubs had their worst three year span (2011-2013 - just 198 wins) in my life time

....the Cubs had their best four year span (2015-2018 - 387 wins) in over 100 years

....the Cubs won the World Series!

It has been a very interesting eleven years and I'm looking forward to the next eleven!
