What is your collecting goal? Will you be able to achieve it?

Goal:

Collect one Rookie Card of every member of the Baseball Hall of Fame


Possibility to Complete:

None, for three reasons........

1. There will never be universal agreement on which is the Rookie Card(s) for every HOF'er

2. Rarity - a few are "1-of-a-kind"

3. Price - would have to have well over $1MM+ (I don't)

My collecting goals are a lot like The Stig. An enigma with a mind of it's own. No one knows where it's been or where it's going.

Current goal is to complete the 1941 Play Ball set. Due to a fairly limited card budget, I decided to focus on this one because of its relatively small size. Right now I'm about a quarter of the way through, with almost half of the HOFers.

Longer-term, I'd like to pick up decent Ruth, Gehrig, and Wagner cards.

I am trying to finish my 1939 Play Ball HOF autograph set. Basically trying to get a signed 39 PB of each HoF in the set. At this point I'm only missing, Manush, Klein, Dickey, Averill, and Vaughn.

The Ted Williams was the priciest, the Ott the most rare, and the DiMaggios(2) are my favorites. But as a whole, they look phenomenal together.

Good question and one I'm struggling with. T206 was my focus ever since getting back into the hobby. Now that I'm done with that set, I'm tinkering with a Hindu SL subset and a HOF set. Bought some 80s/90s wax lately, for nostalgia reasons. Bought some autos lately, many of which are RCs. But I suppose more than anything, I'm trying to decide how to move forward. Do I go at it as aggressive as I did the Monster? Or do I take a break and focus on more important life things like buying a new house, starting a family, etc - things that would consume my card buying budget. Time will tell. Until then, I'll casually pick up a card or two here and there.

I don't have a collecting goal, I have a collecting pipedream...

No, I will not be able to achieve it.

My goals are to complete the T210 set up to 639 as well as collect all of the Prewar Richmond Colt Cards out there.The T210 set can be done I'm seeing now its going to be a long haul on that one.As for the Colt cards,I'm still adding new ones almost weekly to my checklist that I didn't know about.That subset will be a bit more hard to accomplish as the Old Mill Cabinets and E222 might be out of my reach sadly.
