2016 goals for prewar cards

[Bwarren92989]

Anyone have any card goals for just this year. I usually just wing it and get whatever interests me when and if I have the money.

Keeping it very simple this year - one Old Judge "A" list player and one Old Judge "B" list player. I'll be happy to hit 50% of that target.

Add more T210 cards to my collection in 2016. Only added a few in 2015.

I would like to pick up one or two high-end Negro League RPPC's if/when any become available.

This is how it usually plays out for me as well. My goal last year was to complete my Mantle run, and instead I bought a few cards that were no where near my radar. Goal for next year, pre-war, is a nice 33 Gehrig, a N162 Anson, and a green t206 Cobb.

Postwar: Finish Mantle run.

My goal is to redefine my goal fewer than five times.

[1880nonsports]

my higher grade or lower grade Goodwin Champion sets. Anson and all but a Dunlap down but some of the NS cards are more elusive. Maybe a dozen missing in each.

SHAMELESS PLUG - finders fee and silly price paid for an N43 Ginter champions Edwards boxer.........

Would like to add 50+ T206 cards to the collection. Finish the 52' Bowman set (Need a Mays PSA 5 Range?). See what I can afford when the kid comes in April!! Will be a fun year.

Start on a low grade 88 Donruss set. Oh, wait a minute...

[cool-vintage]

1. Complete the Boston Braves T206 team set
2. Try to keep a focus on my collection
3. Add some non-card items (Programs,tickets,postcards, etc.

I posted this on another forum recently. I'm keeping my goals simple this year.

1) My #1 goal is to commission a Graig Kreindler painting.

2) And my only other hobby goal is to pick up at least one really nice N173 OJ cabinet.

Anything else is just a bonus.

My 2016 goal is to continue with more catchers in the T207 set, pick up a few more T206 catchers with American Beauty backs, and maybe pickup the handful of cards that will complete my catcher card run in sets like: 1910 Old Mill (Thoss,) 1912 zeenuts (Claude Berry,) 1912 Home Run Kisses (Ralph Kreitz,) and lastly add some catcher memorabilia.

I'm nuts which gives me an exemption from goals.

Brian, thanks for confirming my long-held suspicion! Before you are institutionalized, please be so kind as to let me have your W504 card of Sam Rice.

Also hoping to acquire at least one of these Sam Rice cards: 1917 D350-2 Standard Biscuit, 1927 E210-2 York Caramel, 1928 F50 Harrington's Ice Cream, and 1931 W502.

And one or more of these 1910 E222 A.W.H. Caramel cards: Ison, Lipe, Revelle, and Ryan.

Automatic nominee for best post of the year.

[JustinD]

1933 Delong Gehrig

1933 Goudey Ruth #53 or possibly a #144.

If I have either of those in hand in a decent 2-4 grade by next New Years it will have been a good notch off the big list.

[Topps206]

I hope to add to the Monster, though I'm not sure who, how or when.

[familytoad]

If I complete all of my goals it will take some big assists!

Complete the E210-2 York Caramels (need just 6)
Add 40 cards to my just started OBAK (1910-11 only) sets
Add 20 cards to my stagnant E90-1 set.
Add one more 19th Century HOF player to my collection.
Lower my 1952-1980 Topps baseball run from current 191 needed to under 100.
Add 12 more SGC HOF cards to my collection.

But....Number one goal is always the same...organize my collection, get more or better scans done and audit my checklist/wantlist sheet. That way I can enjoy what I already have instead of worrying about continually accumulating more

• Stay within budget...
• Finish a set (yeah right...)
• Pick up something unexpected
