What's the next card you're targeting?
 

As we head into the new year, what's the card at the top of your list? I'm hoping to get one of these

The only higher end card I have 2 of :)

For me, looking for a nice Goudey Ruth 144 upgrade for this one. Anyone?

any hall of famer ,,

This little guy.

I am looking for a 1935 Goudey Ruth with the 5A back, preferably in lower grade, as it is one of four cards I need to complete a master set.

I’m on the hunt for a Lou Gehrig. Any suggestions/favorites? The DeLong Gehrig is great but probably too pricy for a nice 2. Might target the yellow 34

2021 Targets
 

I'm targeting the following cards- T3 Cobb in a 1-2, a 1915 Cracker Jack Cobb in a 1-2, and a centered 1951 Bowman Willie Mays in a 3-5.

Next card?
 

I've always wanted a CJ Eddie Cicotte, either year. I think it's the best pose in the set, utterly cool- Trent King

(just showing a pic ... cuz I agree its a cool pose!)

T205 Cobb
Missed out on a couple recently

Any E107 HOFer that I don't already have. At this point I'm happy adding one per year!

Hope 2021 is the year I land a similar quality Joss**********scored a nice one*******

Down to only the little ones to finish my 52 topps set, Mantle, Robinson and Mathews

I try not to target cards, as they tend to end up looking like this:

Brian (actually I like to go with the flow when collecting...a lot less stress that way)

Me too, sorta: Mays Mantle Wilhelm Mathews

The 3 cards at the top of my list right now are the E95 Plank, E96 Baker and Lajoie. After those I want to pick up some of the big 50's cards for my sets but I'll get to them whenever, not to worried about them.

Flow
 

I have enough on my want list that I can go with the flow and maybe the cards will find me...

I want to finish the E90-1 Kraken set minus Joe Jax. I’m close.
I want to finish E210-2 York but haven’t added one in years cuz I can’t find any.
I want to topple most of the 1934-36 Diamond Stars Master set.
I want to add another Babe Ruth.
I want to add 52 Jackie Robinson.
And oh so many more...

Yuengling Gehrig

Signed 52T and 51B Mantle.

I'm sure I'll type the same cards I'm targeting next year, and the year after... too few of each out there LOL.

One of these:

E107 Criger would be nice !

Great thread. I would love an e107 Matty or Young. I also would like a t204 Walter Johnson

I need that Feller too. Tough and spendy in nice shape.

I'd like to add a Cycle, Pied 42 or Sov 460 Matty black cap.

1928 Exhibits Gehrig. Completes the set if I ever find one

T206 Magee portrait, Old Mill

Long story. My son has joined me in passion for old cardboard. A lot of fun is now attached to this common Texas Leaguer. There aren't many out there but it is going to be fun hunting them down.

I'd also "settle" for a 1934 Matchbook Walt Kiesling or Link Lyman.

14 CJ Cobb.

I think a T206 Lajoie - raw - from a dealer I trust.

1914 preferably or 15 CJ Cobb beater.

not vintage
 

but what I'm trading for it is.

A CJ Bender...same as I was chasing last year, and the year before, and the year before that, and so on. I'm going to quit when (if) I find a decent one I can fit into my budget.

T206 Lundgren (Chicago) is the last card I need to get to 520.

I'm 48 and got my first t206 from my dad when I was 10 or 11. I'm not even sure I know how I feel about being this close to "finishing."

Astounding. Hard to imagine what it's like to come that close to 520. I also cannot help wondering what your next move will be once you own a complete set. Some hold on, some upgrade, some even sell! You have some other interesting options: go beyond 520, assimilate 207, become a back collector....

I want a quality Jackson or Ruth

For the Jackson a 1914 CJ Joe Jackson
For the Ruth a 1921 Ruth

Any Detroit Old Judge N172 that I don’t have. I have 31 different that includes all 28 poses of the 1887 team.

1. 1933 Worch Cigar Tex Carleton
2. 1928-29 R315 CARL Hubbell

- 1936 WWG J. DiMaggio
- 1937 OPC J. DiMaggio
- 1965 Topps J. Namath PSA 7+

If anyone can help out, then send me a PM.

Thanks. I wonder that a little myself. I've taken some side-roads along the way, having gone in for obscure variations that nobody cares about (there's a southern leaguer whose name is printed with two variations, a little like Sharpe/Shappe or Dormer/Dopmer, that I've never seen anybody discuss), and accumulating 62 cards with back stamps, but since I hit 519 everything else has gone on hold while I wait for a semi-affordable Lundgren to come available.

Speaking of, it's time to go check eBay again...

E98 Master Set

I wish I could play in the same space as you, Phil. Good luck!!

I agree. One guy’s goal is purchasing 51B and 52T Mantles - not regular ones, but autographed ones! I’m fishing in an entirely different pond.

Thanks for the good wishes Anson, If I can knock two of those out this coming year I'd be happy. The E98 Master set will be a long haul.

Would LOVE the following!
Nice Roger Connor with sharp picture
N173/GQ of prominent HOFer with sharp picture
T3 Cobb
33 Goudey Ruth 144
48 Leaf Jackie Robinson

Those are the ones on the short list anyway!

Drum back Wolter... just like every year! :)

Any T206 that I don’t have for my Providence team set, but would especially love to find a Lavender Cycle back or to get any of the Carolina Brights.
