Finally buy an N173 or Obak Cabinet.

Try to buy a great, crisp tintype.

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.

[mrvster]

[x2drich2000]

Original goals
1) pick up another 3 or 4 E93's for my set - currently need 6 more to complete

2) pick up 3 or 4 more w554's for my set including another with a back stamp

3) Make a decision on what sets to pursue next - currently leaning toward both a D304 & R311 leather

accomplishments
1) picked up 4 - currently need just Cobb, Plank

2) added 3, 1 with a back stamp (Waite, Ruth - would still like to upgrade, and Grove. Grove has a bonemery back)

3) started the e92 Nadja set - currently have 16 different, but can already feel the difficulty starting to kick in

2014 goals
1) finish the e93 set

2) pick up a red backed w554, didn't see a single one for sale in 2013

3) add 12 more e92 Nadja (still need a few St. Louis cards that might make this possible)

4) possibly start another easier caramel or 30's set such as e96, diamond stars,etc

5) pick up an m110

My main goal for 2014 is to add at least 100 more T210's to my collection. I also started a T206 collection this year but the coolness in that set for me has left the building.

[Piratedogcardshows]

2013 Goals:

Reach halfway point of T210....Currently at 309,a big December might get me to 320.
Finished Series 2 T210...Done in March 2013

2014 Goals

Reach 400+ T210's
Add a few more Richmond Colt T209's
Pick up a few more team postcards

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.

[rainier2004]

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.

[Danny Smith]

2013

1. Finish t206 - No
2. Finish 1951 Bowman - No
3. Pick up a couple more e105s - Yes
4. Don't start any more sets until I finish 1 and 2 - No. Started 1952 Topps and t204

2014

1. Finish t206
2. Finish 1951 Bowman and 1952 Topps
3. Pick up a couple more e105s
4. Stop buying things that aren't part of my focus!

[drmondobueno]

I feel like I am back at work measuring performance. So here goes

2013

1. Complete the 1935 Goudey set- one to go, Ruth
2. Ten SGC 80 or higher added- yep, exceeded that.
3. Get the monster over 300 - yes. See my sig lne
4. T206 Elberfeld graded- learned to spell, settled for a nice raw example
5. Add two HOFers - not chasing the big 2, need Matty white cap; success
6. Avoid another set - yeah, right, big time loser on this. Started e91c, r312, Clemente set, 1933 Goudey.

2014

1. As for goals next year, nope. You can't fire me, I quit.
2. As a friend quoted a story to me one day, " you have raised my salary down for the last time, **** me, I quit".
3. Build a few rods, buy and sell a few cards.
4. Bosses, soccer players, and hockey players like goals, but goalies are my new friends. Screw goals!
5. Decide, or not, to chase after Demmit and O'hara, St. louis.....
6. Honor my friends and family, enjoy my acquaintances, laugh a little, eat less and fish more.
7. Spend another year in the company of those fine individuals on Net54

Peace

Technically I made headway on the Hindus, but not by much. Same goes for the T207s. I decided halfway through the year to focus more on selling off much of my collection in order to help pay for a new home. I'm finding it's a lot easier to buy than to sell. Making some headway, but still have a ton of material to go through. Getting tired of printing shipping labels...

Goals for 2014?
Sell off rest of T206 commons, game used balls, modern cards (except my Bryce Harper master set that's in progress), and a few other things here and there.

[tonyo]

2013:
1. continue improving my t206 set - check
2. finish 33 goudey - check (close enough)
3. better define my pre-war type-collection goal - I think it defined itself for me. I reached 85-90 different relatively easily then it slowed way down. I'm at 97 now and wouldn't mind reaching 100.
4. add a couple of cards to my t207 subset - got to within 1 - it's a multi-hundred dollar card that I may never decide to go for, not that I've had many opportunities this year (maybe twice?)

2014:
1. Continue to develop and maintain a relaxed pace on all my collecting projects.
2. 50's, 60's, 70's topps/bowman hofer run - acquire all the "easy" ones.
3. Dabble with my t206 set - less than 10 left on my list to upgrade, pick up a few more less common backs to sprinkle into the mix.
4. Reach 100 different pre-war types.
5. add to my e-card, t210, and t212 subsets


Happy Holidays everyone!

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)
