2013 to 2014 Goals
My 2013 goals will be:
2013:
> trim the fat (xtra cards that don't fit my collection) - failed
> trim the fat (from the belly) - epic fail
> take a short "holiday" from collecting to enjoy the birth of my first child in April (assuming all goes as projected) - best day of my entire life
> buy only one or two *significant* cards missing from my HOF "rookie" collection and avoid falling into the trap of buying cards that only marginally fit my collection - epic fail - purchased over 400 cards and added two new "sets" to my collection...Helmar Stamps + Japanese HOF
> avoid the temptation to buy cards that I already own because the price looks "too good" and because I assume I will somehow be able to resell for more - fail, as always
> remind myself daily that I am NOT a card dealer, I am a card COLLECTOR! - fail, yet again, the temptation to buy "underpriced cards" is just too great
2014:
I'll try to actually attain the goals above (w/ the exception of another child)!!!
>> add only two to five "signficant" HOF rookie cards
>> get to 60-75% complete for the Helmar Stamps set - trade/sell extras
