As we head into the new year, what's the card at the top of your list? I'm hoping to get one of these

The only higher end card I have 2 of :)

For me, looking for a nice Goudey Ruth 144 upgrade for this one. Anyone?

I am looking for a 1935 Goudey Ruth with the 5A back, preferably in lower grade, as it is one of four cards I need to complete a master set.

I’m on the hunt for a Lou Gehrig. Any suggestions/favorites? The DeLong Gehrig is great but probably too pricy for a nice 2. Might target the yellow 34

I'm targeting the following cards- T3 Cobb in a 1-2, a 1915 Cracker Jack Cobb in a 1-2, and a centered 1951 Bowman Willie Mays in a 3-5.

I've always wanted a CJ Eddie Cicotte, either year. I think it's the best pose in the set, utterly cool- Trent King

The 3 cards at the top of my list right now are the E95 Plank, E96 Baker and Lajoie. After those I want to pick up some of the big 50's cards for my sets but I'll get to them whenever, not to worried about them.

I have enough on my want list that I can go with the flow and maybe the cards will find me...

I want to finish the E90-1 Kraken set minus Joe Jax. I’m close.
I want to finish E210-2 York but haven’t added one in years cuz I can’t find any.
I want to topple most of the 1934-36 Diamond Stars Master set.
I want to add another Babe Ruth.
I want to add 52 Jackie Robinson.
And oh so many more...

Long story. My son has joined me in passion for old cardboard. A lot of fun is now attached to this common Texas Leaguer. There aren't many out there but it is going to be fun hunting them down.

A CJ Bender...same as I was chasing last year, and the year before, and the year before that, and so on. I'm going to quit when (if) I find a decent one I can fit into my budget.

T206 Lundgren (Chicago) is the last card I need to get to 520.

I'm 48 and got my first t206 from my dad when I was 10 or 11. I'm not even sure I know how I feel about being this close to "finishing."

Astounding. Hard to imagine what it's like to come that close to 520. I also cannot help wondering what your next move will be once you own a complete set. Some hold on, some upgrade, some even sell! You have some other interesting options: go beyond 520, assimilate 207, become a back collector....

Thanks. I wonder that a little myself. I've taken some side-roads along the way, having gone in for obscure variations that nobody cares about (there's a southern leaguer whose name is printed with two variations, a little like Sharpe/Shappe or Dormer/Dopmer, that I've never seen anybody discuss), and accumulating 62 cards with back stamps, but since I hit 519 everything else has gone on hold while I wait for a semi-affordable Lundgren to come available.

Speaking of, it's time to go check eBay again...

I agree. One guy’s goal is purchasing 51B and 52T Mantles - not regular ones, but autographed ones! I’m fishing in an entirely different pond.

In my quest to obtain an example of every Sam Rice card, I never thought I'd have a chance at his 1-of-1 1917 D350-2 Standard Biscuit card, but there it was in the very recent REA auction, and I was able to snag it. So, maybe I'll get lucky again in 2021 with an opportunity to obtain Rice's 1-of-1 1921 Queen City Cigar Store card. At the very least, I'd love to find out where this jewel resides. Can anyone help?
