Hobby goals for 2023

Fight the fight Chris!

Wishing you well and good health. Many of us on the board have had a go around with cancer and we are pulling for you!

I would like to pick up a '54 Banks to complete my '54 Topps set.

My main goal is to keep finding, collecting, (and probably totally overpaying for) high grade, unusual Pele cards from the 50s and 60s. There are so many different Pele issues from various countries, they are often hard to find, and I weirdly love them all.

Barriers to my goal will be my personal financial situation and my ability to be distracted by REALLY COOL baseball items.

I am reducing my collection by slowly selling off items. Slowly.
How to price items is an ongoing challenge.

Honestly my goals aren't too lofty. There are some key cards that have eluded me that I hope to find:
- 1954 Red Heart Stan Musial and Red Schoendienst
- 1933 Goudey and 1935 Diamond Star Rogers Hornsby

I also look forward to continue building Cardinals team sets from throughout the years.

I guess finally it's time to start trading/selling some items to make room for more good stuff!

I'm in the same boat -- planning to spend a LOT of time on eBay sold sales and the quarterly Vintage Beckett guide pricing things up. Good luck to ya!

I would like to pick-up one of the WaJos in my want list. Most are highly unlikely to impossible. Maybe 3 are just pretty unlikely.

T205 Walter Johnson Hindu
T206 Walter Johnson Portrait Brown Hindu
T206 Walter Johnson Hands At Chest Cycle 460
T207 Walter Johnson Napoleon
T214 Victory Walter Johnson
T215 Type 1/2 Red Cross Walter Johnson
T222 Fatima Walter Johnson
1908-09 Rose Co. Postcard Walter Johnson
1914 Texas Tommy Type 1/2 Walter Johnson

I also want to acquire a Pop Lloyd card from his playing days.

My goals this year are not hard to find and 4 of 5 and should be in budget.
(1) Like to also continue to reduce my overall collection down to core cards.
(2) I'm always picking up items at sells/auction or where ever to sell and use funds for a nice card. If I can sell off all these things I should be able to make my biggest buy ever (white whale). So sell sell sell
(3) goal is to buy no more than 5 cards this year including:
--old judge Omaha n172 low grade I don't have - grade a,1,2
--Sam Crawford - D,E,T,W - grade 2, 3, 4
--Ernie Banks Topps RC - grade 3, 4
--T206 Brown Cubs on shirt - grade 2, 3
--white whale card of a Hof player from 1st hall of fame class -
