I have not been trading lately, due to the fact that I have been selling parts of my collection (extras) to help fuel my new passions. I have taken up the sports of running and biking. I have been doing running races for as long as I can remember, but over the past two years have picked up racing bikes and combined the two sports as well. I have competed in a number of duathlons (run-bike-run) and will be competing in my first triathlon (swim-bike-run) this September. My wife has been supportive, even if it has been very costly. Thus the reason for selling some cards/sets/etc.
Yesterday I upgraded my Mountain Bike to a Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert 29er. Sweet ride!

Now I am riding both Specialized Road and a Specialized Mountain bike.
Besides getting in shape, I have found that small nagging injuries take much longer to heal now than when I was younger.
Some of the things I have noticed have been ...
--It takes longer for injuries to heal
--Camaraderie. It does not matter if you are a beginner or an elite racer at the end, we have all acomplished our goal
--Women look better than men do in wetsuits
--Quality parts/apparel/gadgets do cost $$
--There is always someone faster than you
--Elite racers always are willing to give out pointers
--Personal best times get harder and harder to beat as you get older
--Everyone hates hills whether biking or running
--Enjoy yourself while you are out competing
--Most large races offer beer at the end for racers
I could go on and on
