[Bwarren92989]

Anyone have any card goals for just this year. I usually just wing it and get whatever interests me when and if I have the money.

[kkkkandp]

Keeping it very simple this year - one Old Judge "A" list player and one Old Judge "B" list player. I'll be happy to hit 50% of that target.

[bnorth]

Add more T210 cards to my collection in 2016. Only added a few in 2015.:(

[boneheadandrube]

SGC 60-70 Mathewson Portrait

[bcbgcbrcb]

I would like to pick up one or two high-end Negro League RPPC's if/when any become available.

[Fred]

Yeah, what Kevin said.

[kmac32]

Add at least 1 E121-80 Giant or Yankee to my 1921 World Series collection, add more to my W572 strip card collection, add to my T207 Cubs with different backs ( more specifically Napoleon backs), and keep my 1951 to present Topps and Topps update Cubs set.

[Leon]

A nice T205 Cobb again and who knows what else.....maybe a nicely centered '53 Bowman Reese :eek:.

[midwaylandscaping]

Add a nice 33 Goudey Grove to my collection :)

[Eggoman]

Get MUCH closer to finishing my T205 set - all variations, (except Hobie - No Stats, Walsh - Pink Diamond, and Collins - Yellow Elephant)... ONLY 33 more to go, including those 3! Then upgrade it, probably indefinitely...

MAYBE start The Monster, just in case I have extra money lying around!:)

[Prince Hal]

T213-2 Frank Chance NY Am. to finish my Yankees set

[Laxcat]

Tougher back on a Red Cobb. I have my eye on an Old Mill. Would like to add an even tougher one.

[Jason Carota]

My main goal is to add a Hugh Duffy card to my OJ collection. Aside from that, I'd like to add 10-15 more OJ's.

[4815162342]

I would like to pickup at least one more E105 as well as some more cheap raw E102s in 2016.

try to remain slow and steady:

1. t205 complete the set (one of each player - no variations)
2. t206 upgrade the set
3. try to not start any new collecting projects
4. improve my prewar type card set.

Do you own the t206 wagner ?

One goal only this year:

A nicely centered 1933 goudey gehrig with nice registration.

On a personal note.. I love to attend the National this year.

Of course there is more that I want to add to my collection, but that can come next year.

[RaidonCollects]

Find a T204 Dineen/Dinneen.

-Owen:)

[bbsports]

I'm setting up at the 2016 National for the first time. Hopefully it was successful & profitable.

[Sean]

Find a t215 Fred Merkle. That was also my goal last year and two years ago. :(

And find something cool that catches my eye, aT206 Young portrait, or some Grignons, or something else.

[Peter_Spaeth]

[K-Nole]

Acquire Chick Gandil &/or Buck Weaver in any set, for our 1919 Series display.

Acquire a T206 Titus.

Acquire a T206 of one of these...Marquard, Wadell, or Lajoie

Acquire a BVG graded VG or better, 1922 E120

Acquire a Carl Hubbell card.

Yes, I have bat on left shoulder AND bat on right shoulder :D

...... oh wait you probably mean the Flying Dutchman, not the former Red Sox captain.

should've wrote "upgrade my 520" :)

I do have a great looking Honus Reprint with a Broadleaf back that I really like a lot!

[Bliggity]

I really wish I'd done this for 2015, because I have no idea what my collecting goals were at the beginning of the year, and it would have been interesting to see where I ended up. Anyway, for 2016, in no particular order (can you tell I'm a set builder?):

(1) Finish T209-1 set (currently 13/16).
(2) Add 10-20 cards to 1934 Goudey set (currently 25/96).
(3) Add 6-12 cards to T205 set (currently 26/208).
(4) Add 20-30 cards to 1953 Bowman set (currently 83/224).
(5) Pick up one exciting prewar card unrelated to my sets.
(6) Don't do anything stupid, like buy a case of modern stuff.

3. try to not start any new collecting projects

That's always the tough one, isn't it? :)

[Jewish-collector]

To save up enough money for the Atlantic City National. :eek:

[Jason]

My goal for 2016 will be a more modest one than in the past. I would like to finish off one more T210 Series im close on. And hopefully pick up another Richmond Colt T209 or two. I was fortunate enough to add two in 2015.

[bbcard1]

Get them in order.

[Seiklis]

Finding the 1924 Diaz Cigarette of Guy Morton and Pete Donohue

Finding a 1933 Worch Cigar of Earl Averill

Get some Napoleon/ Blank back T207s

About it, same as last year

[QUOTE=CharleyBrown;1486140]One goal only this year:

Great card when you can find one with these attributes. Took me a long time to get one. The hunt is fun though!

I'd like to add,

T206 Matty white cap
T206 lajoie throw or bat with a tougher back
T206 Young bare hand
E92 Matty Croft's Cocoa

Oh, would also like to add a Cobb bat off to finish the quartet.

I usually end up with cards I had no intention of buying so we shall see what 2016 brings.

[mattsey9]

1. Double my T206 collection from 50 to 100. Would like to include one Cobb in there somewhere.

2. Finish my 1934 Goudey set, at least the low numbers and get close on the highs.

3. Find a T204 of Andy Coakley for my 1908 Cubs players collection.

4. Finally start working on a 1953 Bowman color set.

5. Collect the 2016 Heritage set and make sure not to dwell around the shiny stuff any more than this.

[tab]

T206!

Try to add a scarce back or 2.
Try to add more HOF cards and less commons
Would like to add another Cobb( green or bat off)

[pokerplyr80]

Anyone have any card goals for just this year. I usually just wing it and get whatever interests me when and if I have the money.



This is how it usually plays out for me as well. My goal last year was to complete my Mantle run, and instead I bought a few cards that were no where near my radar. Goal for next year, pre-war, is a nice 33 Gehrig, a N162 Anson, and a green t206 Cobb.

Postwar: Finish Mantle run.

[Peter_Spaeth]

My goal is to redefine my goal fewer than five times.

[1880nonsports]

my higher grade or lower grade Goodwin Champion sets. Anson and all but a Dunlap down but some of the NS cards are more elusive. Maybe a dozen missing in each.

SHAMELESS PLUG - finders fee and silly price paid for an N43 Ginter champions Edwards boxer.........

[Vintagecatcher]

My 2016 goal is to continue with more catchers in the T207 set, pick up a few more T206 catchers with American Beauty backs, and maybe pickup the handful of cards that will complete my catcher card run in sets like: 1910 Old Mill (Thoss,) 1912 zeenuts (Claude Berry,) 1912 Home Run Kisses (Ralph Kreitz,) and lastly add some catcher memorabilia.


Patrick

[Brian Van Horn]

I'm nuts which gives me an exemption from goals. :D

[clydepepper]

T205 Cobb and a few Wagners
.
.

[mechanicalman]

Hoping to acquire a much more focused list this year:
1) t206 Matty Dark Cap
2) 33 Goudey Ruth 149
3) 34 Goudey Gehrig 61
4) t206 Cobb Bat On
5) t206 Cobb Green (might have to rethink this one considering I'll be bidding against half the board, it seems)

Odds are, I'll acquire one of the above, buy a T3 or two, pickup some unnessary stuff at the National, and start and stop building e93, 41 Play Ball, 14 CJ, and Delong HoF sets, leaving my collection even more disparate than it is today.

[deucetwins]

My goal is to redefine my goal fewer than five times.

Automatic nominee for best post of the year.

[JustinD]

1933 Delong Gehrig

1933 Goudey Ruth #53 or possibly a #144.

If I have either of those in hand in a decent 2-4 grade by next New Years it will have been a good notch off the big list.

[Topps206]

I hope to add to the Monster, though I'm not sure who, how or when.

[Bigb13]

I hope to get closer to finishing my 1914 Cracker Jack set

[pawpawdiv9]

2016 goals:
1. Try and obtain a lower grade 51 Mays (sold my 7oc)
2. Cobb Bat-on T206 (low grade 2-3?) to complete my 4 cobb run and make a nice display.
3. Wishing for a 33 Ruth someday??
4. Might grab a Wagner piece
5. Might do some upgrades--like a RED CoBB Lenox back.

Postwar-
1. Not much here- Rookie wise ..seems to me i be focusing more on pre-war this year.

[Sean]

2016 goals:

5. Might do some upgrades--like a RED CoBB Lenox back.

I doubt that you can find one of those for sale anywhere. :rolleyes:

[Exhibitman]

Attend the National in AC and hang out for a week with all you chuckleheads.

[vintagehofrookies]

I'm hoping to keep on picking up some tough pre-war HOF Rookie Auto's

[gemmint77]

Would like to add 50+ T206 cards to the collection. Finish the 52' Bowman set (Need a Mays PSA 5 Range?). See what I can afford when the kid comes in April!! Will be a fun year.
JS

[deucetwins]

Start on a low grade 88 Donruss set. Oh, wait a minute...

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

Acquire both a 14 CJ Matty and Shoeless to complete my set! Start on a N162 set...

[Cmount76]

1. Grab any N508's when they arise (got 2 in 2015)
2. T206 Red Cobb
3. T206 Johnson portrait
4. '33 Goudey Ruth

[Cmount76]

:confused: I thought the purpose of a "man cave" was to be a place of seclusion for men - or at least this man in this cave. Instead, as I was contemplating the important things in life; such as the order of importance for my pre-war goals, I get barged in on to answer questions about... well, I am not even sure.

In any event, now that my thinking is clear again, I also want to continue my Dummy Taylor back run.

[edjs]

My first goal is to set a goal.


Whew, now that's done, back to collecting sporadically like an idiot. Oh, and over-paying for everything. Can't forget that.

[itjclarke]

Since I mostly fire from the hip when stuff I like comes available, I'll mainly just aim to make more money in 2016 so I can buy more cards.

Long term want list items would include (but not limited to) the following--
N172 Delahanty
N162 Kelly
Zeenut Buck Weaver
Signed Clemente (any Topps, or Fleer)
Signed Jimmie Foxx (any playing era card)

... doubt I land any of those this coming year, but we'll see.

[dwinters]

Still looking for a worch ivy andrews...have been looking daily for 8 years now. I haven't even found a picture yet.

Also, looking for George c. Miller punched or whole andrews card. I imagine a complete one would be quite desirable by many collectors and investors.

Good luck to everyone in the new year.

Btw...did pick up one of my goals this year....a ty cobb check written out to emory university hospital. I attended emory and even worked in the hospital as a student.

[kdixon]

Pick up a T213-3 Zach Wheat
T206 Hindu Wheat
Bambino Tobacco Tin
Babe Ruth World Wide Gum
Piedmont Art Stamp Wheat

[sgbernard]

My 2016 goal is to keep going on my T209-IIs, maybe get the 24 more to hit 200, but it is SLOW going at this point.

[Mighty Casey]

Won't reach them all this year....

T205 Bresnahan (mouth closed) SGC 50
T206 Johnson (portrait) SGC 30
T206 Willis (portrait) SGC 30
T206 St. Louis Cardinal w/ Carolina Brights back

[mybuddyinc]

Attend the National in AC and hang out for a week with all you chuckleheads.

1 -- Yes, I hope I may make AC as my first National. Being an old NJ guy, a visit to Frantic City would be nice. Especially to meet a few of my online Friends !!!

2 -- Like to think :rolleyes: I can come close to finishing up my E90-1.

3 -- Upgrading T206 is a never ending scenario (even my TWO Wagners :))

2015 was a good year, hope 2016 will be the same, if not better.

[rhettyeakley]

I'd like to add to the Zeenut collection, I'd like to add at least 100 cards I don't currently have and at least one major HOFer or rarity.

-Rhett

[ecRich]

1933 Geo. C. Miller-each card with both back variations, whole cards only. Yes I know Andrews won't be had as type 2 or whole card.
1914 Cracker Jacks- cards that are variations from 1915 set.
1915 Cracker Jack- I'm real close.
1934 Butterfinger ad cards, have ten right now.
Goudey Flip Movies in all colors and DiMaggio variations.
Tough cards-J. Foxx, Al Simmons and Mickey Cochrane

[Bretsky]

Would love to get a t206 Walter Johnson, 1934 Goudey Gehrig and 1933 Goudey Ruth...probably need to sell some of my modern to do so.

[T206Collector]

Autographed T206 cards remain atop my wish list for the 10th straight year...

[ValKehl]

I'm nuts which gives me an exemption from goals. :D

Brian, thanks for confirming my long-held suspicion! Before you are institutionalized, please be so kind as to let me have your W504 card of Sam Rice. :D

Also hoping to acquire at least one of these Sam Rice cards: 1917 D350-2 Standard Biscuit, 1927 E210-2 York Caramel, 1928 F50 Harrington's Ice Cream, and 1931 W502.

And one or more of these 1910 E222 A.W.H. Caramel cards: Ison, Lipe, Revelle, and Ryan.

Val

[ullmandds]

I have perhaps oversimplified my collecting goals for 2016.

My new goal is to get rid of stuff I no longer love/want...and replace it with things I Need!

[Stonepony]

E300 Lajoie
T213-3 Mathewson
Mid grade 33 Goudey Ruth 144

[felada]

Finish my R305 and R308 sets. And pick up a SF Hess,lone jack or police gazette cabinet

[Cozumeleno]

Finish my N28, N29, and maybe N162 sets. Continue to updgrade T206 set as well.

[Powell]

Add to Plows Candy collection

Upgrade T206

Loan T206 Wall of Cards to major museum to display and support the hobby

[Kelleys1]

T206 Tris Speaker

Pick up 3-4 more T206 Boston Red Sox for my team set
Add a Harry Hooper, Jake Stahl to my Red Sox PC

[gregr2]

T206 Mathewson portrait.
T206 Walter Johnson pitching

[familytoad]

If I complete all of my goals it will take some big assists!

Complete the E210-2 York Caramels (need just 6)
Add 40 cards to my just started OBAK (1910-11 only) sets
Add 20 cards to my stagnant E90-1 set.
Add one more 19th Century HOF player to my collection.
Lower my 1952-1980 Topps baseball run from current 191 needed to under 100.
Add 12 more SGC HOF cards to my collection.

But....Number one goal is always the same...organize my collection, get more or better scans done and audit my checklist/wantlist sheet. That way I can enjoy what I already have instead of worrying about continually accumulating more:eek:

[yoyot1]

Stay within budget...
Finish a set (yeah right...)
Pick up something unexpected

[Sean]

Add to Plows Candy collection

Upgrade T206

Loan T206 Wall of Cards to major museum to display and support the hobby

Does my den qualify as a major museum? :D

[pcoz]

Hoping an E94 violet Wagner rears its head. The last card I need for my set.

[cool-vintage]

1. Complete the Boston Braves T206 team set
2. Try to keep a focus on my collection
3. Add some non-card items (Programs,tickets,postcards, etc.

[LEHR]

I posted this on another forum recently. I'm keeping my goals simple this year.

1) My #1 goal is to commission a Graig Kreindler painting.

2) And my only other hobby goal is to pick up at least one really nice N173 OJ cabinet.

Anything else is just a bonus.

[brass_rat]

I'd like to find a T206 Johnson (pitching) Piedmont Factory 42 to finish my version of the back run.

Good luck to everyone with their goals,
Steve

[Luke]

1. Add/upgrade 15-20 cards to my T206 150-350 series back run (I'm at 121/159)
2. Add to my stack of T207s and decide if I am going after the set or just getting my favorite poses.
3. Would like to find a T206 Young bare hand or Matty white cap with OM, Hindu, or EPDG back.
4. Add 3 new cards to my T205 back run.
5. Maybe this will be the year I find a really nice SGC 40-60 e95 Wagner to finish my set?

[Wayne]

pick up 24 T206 got 1 bought one so far this month but once I have it in hand I will update my count. I think it leaves me with 69 not including the big 8
