takes a lot of points to pass someone up

Dear journal.I am now out of the top 200s and now I am 199.I just upgraded a roosevelt dime in my collection.I can see myself getting to be #1 someday.I just need 4 million more points.I am still waiting on Ed McMan to knock on my door.So I am dreaming,what is the harm in that.My goal this year is to break #150 and to get at least 8 registry awards.6 of them is in the bag.No worries here.I dont know about a slow economy,I know some of my coins arent cheap.
