Posted By: <b>runscott</b><p>Learned a heck of a lot about cards from the board members so I could trade and buy with more confidence, especially about non-tobacco cards. Besides picking up several of my favorite cards, I got a great start to an e95 set and made a lot of virtual friends!<BR><BR>Goal for 2002 - E95 WAGNER!!! ...and go to a card show, and buy some non-ebay auction lots.

Posted By: <b>Vintagecatcher</b><p>Although I'm partial to the "colored" silks, I would be interested in "white" silks of Roger Bresnahan, Johnny Kling, Chief Meyers, and George Gibson. Although I already have a few "whites," I'd be interested to know if you have any for these catchers.<BR><BR>Several different colored inks including maroon and blue were used with these "white" S-74 silks, so you may have a diffent variety than the several that I have currently.<BR><BR>Let me know. Thanks. Patrick.

Posted By: <b>Lee Behrens</b><p>Certainly spent more than I thought I would but sure beats putting money in the stock market. I am down to one card for my 1957 Topps set (Mantle and I think he was overrated). I have obtained allthe HOFers from the Teens.<BR><BR>As for 2002, My goal is stop buying look enough to buy a house.<BR><BR>Happy New Year<BR><BR>Lee<BR><BR>

Posted By: <b>Kevin Cummings</b><p>Those of us who have more meager budgets than others have to revel in smaller victories. Although my acquisitions were comparatively small as compared to the rest of you, I again managed to keep secret from my wife just how much I actually spent on the cards I did obtain (thereby avoiding her wrath).<BR><BR>I hope to duplicate that effort in 2002! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>One Fine Collection</b><p>2001 Finds:<BR>I drove my car to the baseball card store next to the Piggly Wiggly at the strip mall and found a mother lode of 1988 Donruss, all in an incredible VG condition or better. I bought about half of them. All of them had been sold by the time I went back to the store the next week. Luckily, where the Donruss cards used to be was a 1993 Conlon Collection card of Walter Higbe with only a slight crease through his head. Snapped it up! Thinking of getting it graded. But the best was in the wall of a house I'm remodeling. It is a 1978 Topps card of Tippy Martinez. When was the last time you saw a '78 Tippy Martinez? Boy, it's been a great year.<BR><BR>Hopes for 2002:<BR>Talk myself out of bragging about my collection on vintage chat sites.

Posted By: <b>runscott</b><p>Fortunately tobacco cards are small and can be hidden easily, and to her they don't LOOK expensive! The recent addition of a 1910 baseball glove on my desk has raised some eyebrows though. I want a ring bat, but I think she'd use it on me.
