What did you finish this year? And, collecting goals for 2012?

[caramelcard]

Hey all,

What did you finish in 2011? Sets? Type run? Back run? Research? etc.

I got close on a couple sets this year (T207 and M116) but not quite there.

Collecting goals for next year?

2011 was my first year for collecting pre-war cards. As the year progressed I developed a modest goal of picking up a pre-war HOFer at a one per month average for less than 20 bucks average. I am pleased with how the year has gone. Net54 has been a lot of fun and a huge education for me.

I plan on keeping my one per month goal for pre-war in 2012, and possibly working on a Redman and/or Auravision set as well.

Got closer in my E121 1921 world series set. Still a work in progress. Also upgraded a few cards in the collection. Goals, work on the E121-80 part of the set.

Completed a 1933-1989 HOF low grade rookie card collection excluding Satchel Paige because they are too rare and expensive. And any others that were not rookie cards of actual rookie players, like 1948 Ralph Kiner, Stan Musial as an example.

Completed HOF T205 collection low grade

Started working on my N162 HOF collection low grade got Dan Brouthers and Cap Anson still need King Kelly and Keefe. But for now too broke

For 2012, if I can, try finishing my N162 HOF collection, but may end up not collecting for 2012 and catch up on the bills I racked up this year

[darrend505]

Finished a 1972 Topps set and my 1954 Bowman set.

2012 goals, finish 1971 Topps, work on 1953 Topps and 1955 Topps Double Header.

I finished deciding what I was going to collect

After two reboots in the last 18 months, I decided to go for an SGC 40 T206 set (minus big four). For 2012 I hope to get to the 50% mark.

What did I finish... nuttin'

What are my goals for 2012... to continue down my current collecting path... and lose a few pounds

2011 was also my first year collecting any card.

649 subset and back run completed. Focusing on errors in the new year.

Same here.

My focus has shifted to a set that the voices in my head have been telling me to go back to since I stopped working on it three years ago. In 2012, I am going to work on the T210 set. For the time being, I am going to go after one card per team.

Finally finished the t200 set with the addition of the elusive Boston Nationals.

A couple cards away from e95 and e96. About 150 commons away from t206.

Hoping for a successful 2012.

Started off with a couple weeks in the hospital early in the year and am FINALLY caught up with those bills and have gotten back to getting my t206 Cubs set finished. Hoping to be done Feb. or maybe March

I finished the Topps 1960 tattoos and 1964 tatoos this year. I'm hoping to complete my 1951 red back panels set, and the 1961 and 1962 stamp panel sets in 2012. I think the 1956 pins, and the 1968 stickers are also within reach.

Also, hoping to get closer to completion of the M128 Police Gazette supplements set, and maybe finish the M101-2 TSN supplements set. If I get lucky, I'll find another m101-8 for that set. Adding some 1958 Dodgers scored programs / scorecards would be nice, along with any other cool scorecards that pop up.

There are still 15 Tip Top Weekly issues with baseball covers that I know I'm missing, and that doesn't include any that I find among the 192 covers that are still unknown (to me).

And of course there is the never ending quest for the m113 & m114 baseball magazine supplements.

And, and, and...

Not that many care for this fugly set... 1912 W-unc, which I believe is complete. That is, unless there truly is a Tommy Leach out there.

[carrigansghost]

Kind of like a CB Carrigan, Steve? funny no one has claimed the reward fee.

Not fugly to these eyes

I'm pretty sure I can find a '38 Goudey Dimaggio #250 in VG condition this coming year to complete my set, and I need 5 to finish my e95 set. I only need about 8 to finish my '41 Play Ball set, but I've lost interest in that set for now.....and maybe forever?

I'm going to focus more on two specific 'tough' sets in the coming years..... e100 and t222. I know, you don't have to tell me.....I have plenty of patience and seem to have pretty good luck. I'll need them both.

Otherwise, I'm going to continue 'thinning out the herd' in both cards and memorabilia and focus more on quality instead of quantity.

Maybe I'm having somewhat of a mid-life crisis in baseball collectibles, but some of the 'stuff' I used to love is just boring to me now.

Got down to 1 1911 Zeenut to go from 4, Pfyl, if anyone has an extra lying around. Have my want list for 1912 Zeenuts down to 49 (from 72 a year ago), need 3 1933 sepia Zeenuts down from 5 a year ago, still need Bordagay, Chosen & Strange. Some progress on a second (SGC) Ramly set up to 75% from 50%. Also nearly knocked of the sixties - not a great thing, but not bad when you consider the alternative. Happy new collecting year to all.
