Your 2013 Baseball Card Resolution

[markf31]

So I'm coming at this from more of a traditional "resolution" angle for my collection as opposed to goals of what I want to obtain over the next 362 days.

1- Nail down my collecting goals

2- Become more organized. Everything from keeping better track my purchases, scanning my collection, to being more proactive in plotting out my targets in auctions when the previews become available.

Number 1 proved quite ellusive to me in 2012. I started then dropped a number of sets as other sets and topics caught my interest. Any goals I set in 2012 were constantly changing and morphing as the year went on. I'm slowly coming to the realization that I might not be a set collector but more a HOF type collector.

1. Spend less than $1000 on cards this year (bought too much in '12).

2. Enjoy the cards I do have, rather than looking to add more that I don't really need.

3. Live vicariously through others' pickups posted here and on other forums.

Get what I can.

Be content in knowing I'll never get all I want.

[Zach Wheat]

Finish my T200 set. I have the difficult cards; I just need to add Cleveland (AL) and the sort-of-difficult card for NY (AL).

1. Move up out of the 50's on the Monster Number List. (I started at #51 six months ago, added 136 cards and now sit at #55)
2. Balance collecting and staying married.
3. Enjoy the scraps of cardboard that I cherish and most folks don't understand.
3a. Accept the fact that they never will.

I'm looking to complete Series 2 of T210 and keep working towards the rest of the set.Also to be a little more focused on and patient with those goals.

What a goal. E107'S, BOSTON STORE JACKSON, RUTH ROOKIE. Good luck in your quest.

Bestd;777:quite a Mantle Collection you got. Would be nice to see a scan of it some times.

LOL let's just say I'm failing miserably on bullets 1 and 2....

1- I give myself a pass on this. My collecting goals are more refined now, but I seem to keep adding topics/goals. Currently its T209 b&w, Max Carey, HOFers and M101-4/5

2- I have made great progress in this one. Acquired a fancy new scanner and I'm not the unorganized mess I was before in regards to tracking my collection.

ORIGINAL POST
1. For my Ted Williams Master set, obtain the last two 1947 Menko cards I need, as well as a R303A/V351 Williams Rookie card.
2. T206--Obtain 10 more HOF's (currently at 52) including at least 1 Cobb and 1 rare back version of Chance Yellow
3. T205--Complete my Mordecai Brown back run (minus the Drum)
4. Buy my first Old Judge card (preferably a HOF player)


TO DATE:
1. Obtained 1/2 of the Williams menko backs that I needed. Also obtained the "new" prize of my Williams set, the 1939 R303A Williams.
2. Picked up a Baker PSA3 and a Walsh PSA2, no other progress here
3. I got nothin'
4. Picked up a Jimmy Ryan batting Old Judge SGC1 (not a HOF, but a start).

Still some work.

Original goals:

1) Get to 100 T206: reaching 8 T206 HOFs and 6 Old Mill SL.
2) Get to 24 1933 Goudeys in PSA 6
3) Continue to add PSA 10 Basic Ripkens and E210 York Caramels

So far....

I have already hit 112 T206 with 9 Hof and 8 Old Mill SL.
I am at 18 Goudeys (6 to go), but one of my additions was a Ruth, so if I fall short, I don't really care.
My Ripken Basic Registry just hit #5 All-Time and I'm over halfway on my Yorks.
I completed my Orioles Team HOF RC set by adding Hoyt Wilhelm's 52 Topps!!!
