Whats your focus of collecting this summer?

[g_vezina_c55]

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.

Sell my remaining T212s and be on the lookout for some higher quality C46s. Unfortunately the ones I find are, more often than not, owned by American sellers who refuse to ship outside the USA and don't get me going about that!!!

Will be selling the bulk of my modern cards, vintage, T206s and anything else I can get out of the house. Mostly to fund a new home purchase, but also to refocus my collecting efforts. I'm not a set builder, nor do I have a passion to collect a ton of this and a ton of that. Suppose I'm more of a little bit of this and that collector, at least for now. Also, I'm not finding a lot of time for collecting these days.

I find if you are ready to pay for say registered mail, express mail or FeDex most U.S dealers will actually ship to Canada....you can use buy it now Ebay will not block you and then you can work it out with the seller when requesting the total invoice...I have always been lucky and the seller ends up shipping it to me to Canada.

Ebay.com may stop you from bidding on a item that is only shipped to the U.S but does not seem to do so when using buy it now!!

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.
