2014 Collecting Goals ?

[CharleyBrown]

Beautiful cards everyone...

Well, I didn't set a 2013 goal in that thread, but it was to make progress on my Jackie Robinson Bond Bread set, and to build my Jackie Robinson master set.

I did make progress on my BB set, and I had reached #2 on PSA registry's JR master set. I was also interviewed and had many of my cards featured in the Jackie Robinson SMR issue this year. I actually ended up selling most of my JR master set, as my wife and I are looking to purchase a home in the next year or so.

As for 2014, most of my money will be going towards inching closer to that 20% down payment, but for cards / memorabilia, here's the goal:

1) Complete the 1947 Jackie Robinson Bond Bread set (1 card to go)
2) Get into Pre-War by purchasing one of these cards: 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig, t206 Cobb Bat Off, 3) Mathewson Dark Cap, Ruth E series (throwing).
3) Pick up a Jackie Robinson auto

I believe that 2015-2016 will be the year that I can really start expanding my collection.
