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 !

My goal for collecting was definitely completed in 2013, however have been relocated recently and haven't had a chance to see my cards for quite some time (what a horrible feeling)!

Anyway - 2014 goal: End up with a e104-2 Wagner and one more e104 type 3
Also - try to add to my Plank collection, in particular an E107.

I picked up all of the remaining C46s catchers in the set, a 1915 Nunamaker CJ, and a Plow Boy Tobacco Cabinet this year. Was looking to find a Johnny Kling Plow Boy Tobacco Cabinet and landed a Tom Needham one.

Looks like my focus on the upcoming year will be adding more T207 catchers. I have really enjoyed picking them up recently.

My favorite focus will continue to be adding more Chief Meyers colored silks. It's been over a year since I have added any to my collection.

First off great thread....love reading what people have for goals this upcoming year for their collections. Well last year i didn't do one. Maybe because I really didn't get involved back into the hobby until may or june. Bummer oh well here is to the 2014 year

--2014 Goals--

1. I would love to do more deals and become more involved with fellow members on here. Get to know everyone's collections and interests. I have shows in the MA area all the time so you never know what I come across. Could be something here to help someones collection.

2. Really like to obtain at least another 33 more PSA 5+ 1934 Goudey's including the 1934 Goudey Lou Gehrig #37 for my set. Currently at 15 cards in my set. That will give me a half completed set.

So i do have some work ahead of me so here's to 2014. Best of luck on everyone's goals this year.

2013 - Finished the big one a couple hours ago, still looking for the last 2013 goal in the sig line.

2014 - Spend less money, finish the n28s and call it good. Also, enjoy the National.

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)
