Goals
For 2022 my goal was to acquire at least 24 T206's to average 2 per/month. I am right at that goal and hoping to pick up 1 or 2 at the Nashville card show this weekend. I also had goals of focusing more on HOF cards including picking up at least one Mantle and making progress on my '55T and '65T sets which are nearing completion. I did get a 60s Post cereal Mantle, a few 50s-60s HOFer cards I've wanted, made an awesome buy on a Mike Schmidt RC ($2.50!), got a George Brett RC, and a few 65's this year, but didn't make a dent to the '55 set.
For 2023...
I was going to up my goal to 36 T206's, but I think I had better stick to 24 for the year. Getting 2 per month is still a decent goal given prices and my desire to collect raw cards with off backs if at all possible. Of those 24 I would like to pick up 3-4 HOFers and increase my off backs particularly polar bears, sovereigns, and old mills.
Other 2023 goals include getting another Mantle or two, getting Ozzie Smith and Rickey Henderson RCs, and focusing on picking up more 50s-70s HOFer cards - particularly Banks, Brock, Mays, Musial, Williams, Aaron, Clemente. Maybe I will try to get another prewar HOFer card ('33 Goudey or '34-36 Batter Up or something?) too.
