From the 2016 thread: www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=232475

Old 2017 Goals vs Pick-Ups:
- N333 Detroit - No
- N333 other team - 3 cards!
- N172 Detroit (still need many 1888 & 1889 poses) - traded one to obtain one
- N173 or N175 Detroit - No

With so little card action, I turned to 19th century cigarette packs and redemption coupons. The following is a sample of some of the packs I was able to locate, all being pre-ATC merger (pre-1890) except the A&G Dixie & Old Dominion which date to 1890-1893. I've also accumulated close to 100 redemption coupons with lots of duplicates. I find the coupons to be challenging yet cheap and interesting (help date cards, albums, etc.).


And here are my cards, 3 Newsboys and my lone Old Judge, Pete Conway with an interesting back (Mitchell/Barker) that was later sold by Lipset to Miller:




2018 Goals:
- N333 Detroit
- N333 other team
- N172 Detroit (still need many 1888 & 1889 poses)
- N173 or N175 Detroit
- Pre-ATC Merger Cigarette Pack
- Pre-ATC Merger Coupon

One from most of these categories would be a fabulous year
