2017 highlights and collecting goals for 2018

[Bpm0014]

Congratulations on all that! Hal Chase glove, no less! Let's have some names (and years?) of those T206 bats.

Thanks man! I picked up a Heinie Zimmerman, a Bob Bescher, and a Jean Dubuc. That brings me up to about 30 T206 player game used bats...

I tend to sell things in order to buy other things I want more at the time, but as I don't generally pick up anything I didn't want in the first place I end up with some holes in my collection checklist that weren't previously there. I'd like to be able to mark some of these off the checklist once again.

My goals for 2018 (t206)would be to pick up 1 of these off of of list and to buy more commons without piedmont and sweet cap backs

- Uzit back
- Red Hindu
- Cobb bat on(last Cobb needed)



I don’t think I had any goals for 2017. My best pickup was a green Cobb along with a few other HOFers and several commons.

My 2018 goal:

Finish 1961 and 1962 Topps sets and maybe fill out my newer sets with Topps factory sets (I know not really in context with this forum, but I wanted to get back to my birth year in full tops sets...have a smattering of earlier sets).

Keep an eye out for the illusive T206 Drum Paul Davidson without any expectation to find it.

Contemplate my next prewar set...I don't really have enough of a start to seriously point me in any direction though I do have two 1933 Goudey Ruth, making that set a possibility. I will probably let fate decide for me if a good strong starter set shows up on BST. Thus far I have competed (all lowish grade) T205, T206, DeLongs, 1941 DP, 1941 Playball...most all of them because I got a good buy on the start of a set.

If nothing strikes my fancy, I'll probably just keep on picking up upper tier HOFers. I also really enjoy oddball 1970s cards.

Oh, yeah, and one very important one...I am going to begin reorganizing my cards so i can enjoy them more.

Goals for 2018:

1) Add 5-7 cards for my T206 Providence set, including at least one each of the Cycle, EPDG, AB, and Tolstoi cards that I need.

2) Pick a new set to work on in between T206 acquisitions.

3) Sell my Topps sets from 1985 or 1986 through present and put the money towards 1970 through 1975 sets instead or towards pre-war cards.

Favorite 2017 prewar pickups

1932 US Caramel Ruth PSA 3.jpg1933 Green Ruth.jpg

I would like to add another Ruth, preferably a 27 York Caramel or maybe an exhibit in 2018

Some of my 2017 pickups



My 2018 goal is to complete the t205 set and work on upgrading some cards.
Secondary goal would be to continue to add to my Roberto Clemente PC. If I have extra funds add one high end card such as the 1914 Cracker Jack Honus Wagner.

Great eye candy in this thread. Here is a "pack of cards" pick up earlier in 2017..(blank backed)

[clydepepper]

For some reason, today, I went out to BBR and viewed the 1915 Red Sox pitching staff.

Such a cool collection of hurlers! I think I may pursue all but the Babe.

Not even sure if Ralph Comstock and Guy Cooper have cards...

it will be fun to investigate.


I recently sold my Dutch Leonard and Vean Gregg cards...too soon...evidently.
