2014 - share ideas for collecting on a budget
As the new year approaches, it is normal to set goals for what we hope to accomplish. Collecting-wise, 2013 was a good year for me as I reached my goal of obtaining all of the Topps regular issue Hank Aaron cards (I will continue to add non-Topps & "oddball" items as I can). For 2014, I plan to continue putting together the 1st series of the 1952 Topps set (1-80, mid-grade). As a middle-class educator with a wife and 3 teens at home, I have to budget my purchases carefully. I would love to see how fellow collectors in similar situations continue to add to collections on a budget when monthly funds are definitely limited. There are certainly many vintage collectors that have the funds to buy basically what they want. I hope that sharing collecting strategies for those on a budget will encourage others to get involved and show that this great hobby is for everyone that is interested.
Thanks for sharing and Happy Collecting in 2014!
