2014 Collecting Goals ?

[Sean]

I need a T215 Red Cross Merkle.

And I expect to find many other cards that I will want as soon as I see them.

Great thread idea. I'm finally at a place in life that will allow me to finish my base Topps Clemente set. (finished paying off student loans about a month ago so that will free up a lot of money)

Other than that--T206 Walter Johnson cards are some of my favorites in the industry. I'd love to snag a couple of mid grade Walters for the shelf.

Good luck and happy hunting.

Undeniable Success! At >75% and have the Cobb Red Portrait

Partial Success... got to ~80, but then sold them all. Unfortunately for me, the hype on EPDG died before my cards hit the auction market.

Complete failure. Gave up early in the year and consigned them away. Lesson learned: stay focused with two or fewer goals.

So... for 2014, keeping it simple:
Get to 85% in my SGC 40 T206 collection and include a second Cobb.

Yep Daryl my interest change in 2013. But in my 2013 goals , the Magie was a goal and i bought a Magie in 2013.

The Lajoie is also a card i always wanted so at the beggining of 2013 the Lajoie wasn't in my mind but things change during the year !

I am verry happy of my 2013 collecting year !

2013 Goals:

(1) I'd like to continue to prune back my collection like I have been doing in 2012, and continue to focus on my Ruth collection. - Check

(2) I'd like to finish my Schutter Johnson set (I only need Si Johnson) - Check / Finished!

(3) and make some progress in these random sets I'm working on (W519-1/W590/Baguer). - Check, somewhat (2 additions to W519-1, 4-5 additions to W590, 2 additions to Baguer)

(4) Someday, I'd like to pick up a CJ Cobb, T206 Magie, and/or E103 Wagner, but not sure it will be 2013 since I think this will be more of a step back year. - Nope, a big 0 here, as expected.

2014 Goals:

(1) Continue to prune back collection and focus more on tough Ruth cards.

(2) Continue to make progress on small sets (W519-1, W521, W590, Baguer)
