Conor - Very impressive, I don't think I have ever seen someone stick to all their goals for the year, nicely done. Focus is a good thing.

It looks like the 4 previous posters all did fairly well with their goals, I love checking things off. I have sold more stuff and bought more stuff in the last year than any year. Sold my CJ set, all my extra CJs, most of my t206s and a couple other items as I started with around 260 cards in the collection. I think I did alright, wallet is just thin though.

1. Finish my pc796 - done and with a couple nice upgrades. Id love to upgrade my Plank, someday.
2. Add the centerpiece to my collection - big check, 1915 Boston PC
3. Add something historic - another big check, 1910 weiser wonder WaJo pc
4. Add something significant from WaJo - check, see #3
5. Keep the budget intact - big fail, see item #1-3

2019 goals
1. Spend no money until POST REA on the hobby
2. Trim the fat and get the collection to 50 cards, sitting on 59 and know the 9 that will go
3. Continue to connect to the hobby through individual correspondence
4. Make the plunge into photos, I really have started to dig them.
5. Read

We need some cards here, like a previous poster mentioned, the packages come with big gaps of time in between...miss those eBay Sunday nights and all the stuff that would come in constantly. Heres my 2019 highlights:
