2) Locate and acquire one 1889 Detroit N172 that I still need (3 poses remain)
3) Locate and acquire one N173 Detroit, one N333 Detroit Journal NewsBoy, or Detroit Wolverine scorecard from a year I still need (1885 or 1888).

All three are about equally likely/unlikely. I would claim complete success with as little as two OJs and a scorecard.
A good year, although only successful on item #3 with an N173 of Sam Thompson. I also picked up several N333s but no Detroits. None of the 19 Detroit N172 poses I need made an appearance in 2015.

Someone should/needs to start the "Favorite Pick-Ups of 2015" thread which should compliment this nicely (applies to everyone and may include items that were not identified as goals at start of year).
