Football Collecting Goals for 2018

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Packages are opened, dinner is still two hours away and my girls are in various stages of getting ready so I have a few quiet moments on this beautiful Christmas morning.

I hope to add more several more cards to each of the sets from 1894 Mayos through 1969. All sets are at least started several in the 50's are completed and a few just have a handful of cards.

My main goals are to cross of the 1935 Chicle Nagurski and finish the 1952 Bowman Large.

Also I want to add more pre-1940 University of Arkansas game programs, I did finish their media guide run 1945-on in 2017 with the elusive (at least for me) 1949!

I also want to add more media guides for all of the Arkansas small colleges as well as more guides from what I have chosen as the top 78 schools in the country from 1945-69. My list includes all the traditional majors plus the Ivys and William & Mary, the last is for sentimental reasons. We visit Colonial Williamsburg every other year.

As you can see my focus is very broad thus not many fast completions.

- Start collecting the 1965 Topps set (I already own a mid-grade Namath RC). I think I will go after the Fred Biletnikoff RC next because it looks to me to be the 2nd most popular card in this set.

- 1959 Bazooka, especially the Jimmy Brown.

I second that..........great set with some wonderful AFL cards. Not to mention short prints but the main effort is the style and class of this set. This was the first football set I ever completed graded. It was a tough mountain to climb finacially but it was worth it.

I just finished my 1960 Topps and 1968 Topps sets. I'm hoping to complete the remainder of the 1960's by the end of 2018. I'm missing a handful of cards to finish several sets. I've already completed 1956 and 1958 Topps, so if I can get this done, I'll be down to just finishing the 57 set (24 more cards) and 59. Oh, and 31 high numbers left from 1972. Everything else I have up until the present for what I collect. This would get me to the point where I can concentrate on the Bowman, Leaf and Chicle cards (well, and still work on the other sports as well).

Football collecting goals for 2018, in order of importance:

1. Finally obtain a 1969 Eskimo pie Gino Cappelletti/ Dale Livingston card. Either version.

2. Obtain a 1983 Topps John Hannah in PSA 9 or 10, plus at least one other Hannah card I'm missing in high grade.

3. Make an inventory list of my 300 or so Tom Brady cards.
