2014 Collecting Goals ?

Quality over quantity, all the way........

I completely missed the 2013 goal thread, but my reply then would have been essentially the same as this year's - cross off at least one card from my 14-player Old Judge "A" want list and one from my 10-player Old Judge "B" want list. More than that would be a windfall. Thankfully, I exceeded expectations by one card in 2013.

I only collect autographs, here is mine.

Get up to the mid 90's Perez Steele HOF set (at 78 now).
Start the Perez Steele Celebration set and hope to have all but the Campanella & Conlan.
Work on the Perez Steele Great Moments and have at least half of them (only have 1 now).
Have over 3000 different hockey players autograph (just over 2100 now).
Have over 2000 different baseball players autograph (just over 1100 now).
Have over 1000 different football players autograph (just over 300 now).
Start working on a basketball autograph collection, only have a few but most are HOF players.
Add at least another 100 more Montreal Expos autographs on something where they are pictured in the uniform (have around half of all the players now).
Continue to work on getting all the 80's O-Pee-Chee hockey sets autographed with the goal of having at least 50% of them all done.

Now do I think that there is a chance I'll get this done? May not get to the total number of different autos for each sport but it's something to shoot for.

Similar to Kevin, I would be happy to accomplish the following:

1) Locate and acquire one 1888 Detroit N172 that I still need
2) Locate and acquire one 1889 Detroit N172 that I still need
3) Locate and acquire one N173 Detroit that I still need
4) Locate and acquire a Detroit Wolverine scorecard from a year I still need

It would be a pretty good year if I managed to accomplish 3 of 4, but I like stretch goals and will try for a grand slam (drive all four home).

2013 was a great year but I'll wait until we start the traditional annual year-in-review thread mid-December.

Goals for 2013:
Finish '33 Goudey set minus the big 6 (29 to go) Picked up all 29 PLUS 2 of the "big six"
Finish my '50 Bowman set (9 to go) Done
Sell off my 50's Topps sets and start a tobacco set All Topps sets sold and used funds to get to 14/100 on the T3 set

Goals for 2014:
1. Pick up 2 more '33 Ruths
2. Get to 30/100 T3's
3. Have the will power to not buy anything for a while and save enough to buy some bigger lots instead of one card at a time.

Continue to upgrade my T206 set.

Begin working in earnest on my high grade 1961 Topps set...I am most of the way there, but still really just piddling and need to start ticking off high numbers.

My toughie is to add at least one more nice Old Judge Billy Sunday to my run. I have five of the poses, but one needs an upgrade.

1. Inch toward the finish line on my T206 subset
1A. Oh yea, only Authentic to 5's...i'm told I can't afford a 6
2. Continue to help other collectors reach their goals via trades or sale
3. Finish my Pelican Brief with John
4. Hope that MRVSTR doesn't burst a blood vessel when he sees scrap
5. Yea, I know a couple aren't really collecting goals...oh well
