2014 was a huge year for me as I got back into serious collecting after a 6+ year break. Yah! (my wife's excitement not so much). I sold off my whole collection in 2008 (approx $100k) to buy a business (that's since went under - ouch) that included a partial set of 33 Goudey including a Lajoie in PSA 6, a 14 CJ Cobb in PSA 3 and a CY Young green portrait T206 in PSA 5.
In April I fell head over heels for the 14 CJ set and have been trying like a madman to complete as much as possible before I lose interest or go broke trying. (Interest is still high but much closer to the broke part). As of 12/31 and in 8 short months, I was 56% complete while finding some tough cards like Hick Cady and Ray Caldwell (thank you Barry and Tom). I attended my first National and visited the Rock n Roll HOF! More importantly I met some really cool people that have gone out of their way to share their knowledge and passion for these awesome pieces of history. It's a great community and feel lucky to have this board to feel connected to it.
