2017 highlights and collecting goals for 2018

[mattsey9]

For 2017:

1. Work to finish 1934 Goudey. Got to 95/96. Still need the blue Lou.

2. Have a come to Jesus meeting with myself on what to collect next. T205 is calling my name, but I want to pare down my collection first to make space/funds for it.
Got to 35 ish T205s before shifting focus. Now actively working 1969 Topps and 1953 Bowman.

3. Break the grip that my old commons have on me from the 80s and find them another home. Done. Otis got the cream, and little leaguers got the rest.

4. Write at least one more player bio for SABR. Contributed to two SABR books, one of which published in 2017.

For 2018:

1. Finish 69T.

2. Buy a 53B Mantle. Work on the set a little.

3. Buy cards I like from sets I'll never finish. I've always wanted a Shigeo Nagashima card!

4. Have fun.

Here's a link to last year's list for those who want to play along. I know I always enjoy looking back at mine and seeing how I did, and what unexpected turns my collecting took over the year.
