How did everyone do this year?

[mr2686]

I know it's not quite the end of the year, but I wanted to see how everyone felt they did this year based on your want list at the beginning of the year. Did you stick to the list, stray off the path, or a little of both.
For me, it was a little of both. I wanted to make some headway on the 61 Yankees and ended up almost completing it with only two autos to go. I also picked up a couple more Mantle signed magazines and a couple more 1919 Sox autos. What I didn't complete was the 34 Gashouse gang, and with only 2 autos to go I thought that it was a no brainer but didn't find the right pieces at the right price (should be able to complete next year). I also got side tracked by starting a collection of autos and tickets based on famous and infamous players or plays (Slaughter's dash home, The shot heard round the world, Merkle's boner, etc). Last but not least, I only had to frame and mat my 1960 Pirates project, but at the last minute decided to add both the traveling secretary and team trainer, as well as games 1-6 tickets to go along with my game 7 ticket. I'm chalking this up to having a problem with letting go of this project. Sometimes I find that you have so much fun and spend so much time on something that you keep wanting to add to it even though it's not necessary. I will, however, draw the line at the batboys!
How about everyone else? How was your year?
