New goals replace old goals, whether the old ones are met or not.

It's all about the trip.

What is your collecting goal? No goal except to collect what I like when I see it.

Will you be able to achieve it? At times.

I'm not trying to be cute. I'm just being honest.

Not PreWWII, but I collect both vintage and modern Bob Gibson cards and memorabilia. Currently working on a complete PSA 7 Topps base run of his playing years (1959-1975). I currently have 8/17.

Here are 1960, 1961, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1967, and 1969. I have 1971 on the way.

Default All of the above
I've been working on a Washington type set since the early 80s.

As with Ed, I don't know of everything that's out there, so I wouldn't ever know if I was "finished." The recent thread about the B-unc felts shows an example of something I didn't even know existed until I saw it.

Rarity enters into it; the Herpolsheimer's all appear to be unique, so unless I can get someone to break one loose then I'm without.

And finances are obviously a limitation. (Well, maybe not so obviously for someone who can plunk down money for a Plank.) In several pre-war issues the only Washington representative is Johnson, which cranks the price up to several times a common.

Then there are the issues where both rarity and price come in. L-1 leathers anyone?

It's a never-ending journey.

Bill

Thanks for posting that classic Beach Boys song. Anyhow, my Daddy never "took my T-Bird away".....I didn't dare drive it like I was at the "Indy 500"





However, I revved-up my 1960 T-Bird (352 CID V-8, 300 HP) to 100+ MPH on the Garden State Pkwy some years ago.

Note the license plate on this one...."T206"






Incidently....what is my collecting goal........possibly completing my T206 all-SOVEREIGN master set.

In cards, a T4 of a Vancouver or Victoria player.

In memorabilia, a dust jacketed copy of Mathewson's Won in the Ninth or Chance's The Bride and the Pennant.

If I had unlimited resources I would collect game-used items from the Buxton Wonders, 1909-11 Chicago Giants and 1909-11 Kansas City,KS Giants. As-is, my goal is still to pick up something significant from each team, as well as original photographs. Might happen.
