2016 goals for prewar cards

[Exhibitman]

Attend the National in AC and hang out for a week with all you chuckleheads.

[vintagehofrookies]

I'm hoping to keep on picking up some tough pre-war HOF Rookie Auto's

[gemmint77]

Would like to add 50+ T206 cards to the collection. Finish the 52' Bowman set (Need a Mays PSA 5 Range?). See what I can afford when the kid comes in April!! Will be a fun year.

[deucetwins]

Start on a low grade 88 Donruss set. Oh, wait a minute...

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

Acquire both a 14 CJ Matty and Shoeless to complete my set! Start on a N162 set...

[Cmount76]

1. Grab any N508's when they arise (got 2 in 2015)
2. T206 Red Cobb
3. T206 Johnson portrait
4. '33 Goudey Ruth

[Cmount76]

I thought the purpose of a "man cave" was to be a place of seclusion for men - or at least this man in this cave. Instead, as I was contemplating the important things in life; such as the order of importance for my pre-war goals, I get barged in on to answer questions about... well, I am not even sure.

In any event, now that my thinking is clear again, I also want to continue my Dummy Taylor back run.

[edjs]

My first goal is to set a goal.


Whew, now that's done, back to collecting sporadically like an idiot. Oh, and over-paying for everything. Can't forget that.

[itjclarke]

Since I mostly fire from the hip when stuff I like comes available, I'll mainly just aim to make more money in 2016 so I can buy more cards.

Long term want list items would include (but not limited to) the following--
N172 Delahanty
N162 Kelly
Zeenut Buck Weaver
Signed Clemente (any Topps, or Fleer)
Signed Jimmie Foxx (any playing era card)

... doubt I land any of those this coming year, but we'll see.

[dwinters]

Still looking for a worch ivy andrews...have been looking daily for 8 years now. I haven't even found a picture yet.

Also, looking for George c. Miller punched or whole andrews card. I imagine a complete one would be quite desirable by many collectors and investors.

Good luck to everyone in the new year.

Btw...did pick up one of my goals this year....a ty cobb check written out to emory university hospital. I attended emory and even worked in the hospital as a student.

[kdixon]

Pick up a T213-3 Zach Wheat
T206 Hindu Wheat
Bambino Tobacco Tin
Babe Ruth World Wide Gum
Piedmont Art Stamp Wheat

[sgbernard]

My 2016 goal is to keep going on my T209-IIs, maybe get the 24 more to hit 200, but it is SLOW going at this point.

[Mighty Casey]

Won't reach them all this year....

T205 Bresnahan (mouth closed) SGC 50
T206 Johnson (portrait) SGC 30
T206 Willis (portrait) SGC 30
T206 St. Louis Cardinal w/ Carolina Brights back

1 -- Yes, I hope I may make AC as my first National. Being an old NJ guy, a visit to Frantic City would be nice. Especially to meet a few of my online Friends !!!

2 -- Like to think I can come close to finishing up my E90-1.

3 -- Upgrading T206 is a never ending scenario (even my TWO Wagners )

2015 was a good year, hope 2016 will be the same, if not better.

[rhettyeakley]

I'd like to add to the Zeenut collection, I'd like to add at least 100 cards I don't currently have and at least one major HOFer or rarity.

-Rhett

[ecRich]

1933 Geo. C. Miller-each card with both back variations, whole cards only. Yes I know Andrews won't be had as type 2 or whole card.
1914 Cracker Jacks- cards that are variations from 1915 set.
1915 Cracker Jack- I'm real close.
1934 Butterfinger ad cards, have ten right now.
Goudey Flip Movies in all colors and DiMaggio variations.
Tough cards-J. Foxx, Al Simmons and Mickey Cochrane

[Bretsky]

Would love to get a t206 Walter Johnson, 1934 Goudey Gehrig and 1933 Goudey Ruth...probably need to sell some of my modern to do so.

[T206Collector]

Autographed T206 cards remain atop my wish list for the 10th straight year...

Brian, thanks for confirming my long-held suspicion! Before you are institutionalized, please be so kind as to let me have your W504 card of Sam Rice.

Also hoping to acquire at least one of these Sam Rice cards: 1917 D350-2 Standard Biscuit, 1927 E210-2 York Caramel, 1928 F50 Harrington's Ice Cream, and 1931 W502.

And one or more of these 1910 E222 A.W.H. Caramel cards: Ison, Lipe, Revelle, and Ryan.

I have perhaps oversimplified my collecting goals for 2016.

My new goal is to get rid of stuff I no longer love/want...and replace it with things I Need!

[Stonepony]

E300 Lajoie
T213-3 Mathewson
Mid grade 33 Goudey Ruth 144

[felada]

Finish my R305 and R308 sets. And pick up a SF Hess,lone jack or police gazette cabinet

[Cozumeleno]

Finish my N28, N29, and maybe N162 sets. Continue to updgrade T206 set as well.

[Powell]

Add to Plows Candy collection

Upgrade T206

Loan T206 Wall of Cards to major museum to display and support the hobby

[Kelleys1]

T206 Tris Speaker
Pick up a decent Delong Marty McManus
Pick up 3-4 more T206 Boston Red Sox for my team set
Add a Harry Hooper, Jake Stahl to my Red Sox PC

[gregr2]

T206 Mathewson portrait.
T206 Walter Johnson pitching

[familytoad]

If I complete all of my goals it will take some big assists!

Complete the E210-2 York Caramels (need just 6)
Add 40 cards to my just started OBAK (1910-11 only) sets
Add 20 cards to my stagnant E90-1 set.
Add one more 19th Century HOF player to my collection.
Lower my 1952-1980 Topps baseball run from current 191 needed to under 100.
Add 12 more SGC HOF cards to my collection.

But....Number one goal is always the same...organize my collection, get more or better scans done and audit my checklist/wantlist sheet. That way I can enjoy what I already have instead of worrying about continually accumulating more

[yoyot1]

• Stay within budget...
• Finish a set (yeah right...)
• Pick up something unexpected

Does my den qualify as a major museum?

[pcoz]

Hoping an E94 violet Wagner rears its head. The last card I need for my set.

[cool-vintage]

1. Complete the Boston Braves T206 team set
2. Try to keep a focus on my collection
3. Add some non-card items (Programs,tickets,postcards, etc.

[LEHR]

I posted this on another forum recently. I'm keeping my goals simple this year.

1) My #1 goal is to commission a Graig Kreindler painting.

2) And my only other hobby goal is to pick up at least one really nice N173 OJ cabinet.

Anything else is just a bonus.

[brass_rat]

I'd like to find a T206 Johnson (pitching) Piedmont Factory 42 to finish my version of the back run.

Good luck to everyone with their goals,
Steve

[Luke]

1. Add/upgrade 15-20 cards to my T206 150-350 series back run (I'm at 121/159)
2. Add to my stack of T207s and decide if I am going after the set or just getting my favorite poses.
3. Would like to find a T206 Young bare hand or Matty white cap with OM, Hindu, or EPDG back.
4. Add 3 new cards to my T205 back run.
5. Maybe this will be the year I find a really nice SGC 40-60 e95 Wagner to finish my set?

[Wayne]

pick up 24 T206 got 1 bought one so far this month but once I have it in hand I will update my count. I think it leaves me with 69 not including the big 8
