Very mixed. My goals were:
1) finish the E94 master set of all colors of all players. I did manage to pick up 3 of my final 10 in the past year but got sniped on a red Bates on ebay which was a real downer. E94s are tough to find in any color, any player but I see why my final 7 are my final 7: they're next to impossible! It's not a question of money and being outbid, they just don't appear. Plus one of my 7 is the violet Murray and I know a zillion guys after that one because of violetmania.
2) Make a huge dent in the T210 set. I managed to almost complete series 1,2,3 and 5 and am close on 8 but 4,6 and 7 remain problems as there is so much competition for those 3 series. I'll keep plugging along.
3) Finish the George Miller set. Picked up some but still need a handful.
4) Put together the sets from my youth- 1958-1962 Topps. I put together the 58, 60 and 61 sets and bought a complete 59 set at auction and upgraded it. Ready to start the 62 now, so this was close to being completed.
5) Pick up some Black Swamp Finds to add to my E98s. Done.
6) Upgrade my 4 Obak sets- done.
7) Stay away from OJs, Cracker Jacks and Goudeys because I am a set guy and completing the first is impossible, the second too difficult and the third I just don't want to.
