Whats your focus of collecting this summer?

[Paul S]

Selling. Raw. On the BST or privately between fellow members. Maybe a trade or two.

I am selling off small lots of raw cards, by consigning to auction houses, and rebuilding a smaller more manageable collection of nicer condition graded cards.

humm probably collect a little less

since funds are a little low in the summer...
Money will go more into familly vacancy at niagara falls and familly activity.

But i will probably buy a couple T206 cards and a couple eddie plank cards if it is possible. I am looking principaly for a cracker jack plank at this time.

And on the side of the BIG $$ goals i would like to buy a E107 Plank but i think that will be hard this summer.

No buying this summer, probably going to start selling off some obaks and zeenuts. Have to first research going rates and rarity of particular cards. Not up to date on the sets since the cards have been in the collection since the 70's and 80's.

Going to add as many nice well centered PSA 52 Topps cards as I can (would like to get at least another 20 cards)....but this month I will be doing no buying only in July and August. I will also probably add a few (maybe 2 or 3) PSA 8 Mantle cards to my master set.

I've decided to take the summer off. I've been going a little crazy recently and the wife may not be too happy. My collecting purchases are surpassing her shoe/wardrobe purchases which isn't good! I bought my first T206 Feb 20th (the same day I quit smoking cold turkey after 25 years) and just picked up my 50th card (and last one for a little while). I made it a good one - PSA 3.5 Cy Young Glove Shows Tolstoi back. Thanks to fellow board members, I've aslo been able to add a bunch of Pirate Type cards as well.

I'm going to spend the summer organizing and enjoying my collection. I just upgraded my scanner and am thinking about getting collection organizing software. I'll also be adding some albums here on Net54. I'll keep lurking on the forum, but will be staying away from B/S/T!!!

Have a nice summer everyone, stay safe.

Stay strong on the smoking thing. I quit cold turkey also after about 25 years. Never regretted it. Saves a lot of money that you can spend on cards!

I am starting to play around with Obaks...it's a long-term thing. I too would like to thin the herd but like most people on the board the things I would be interested in selling are not things many people are interested in buying.

Accumulating HOF RCs while selling off stuff I don't need. Also, finishing off my t206 McGraw Portrait w/ Cap back run. Still need the AB, SC25, SC30, Uzit, Sovereign, and EPDG. I then hope to move onto another t206 player back run.
