2014 Collecting Goals ?

[Jantz]

My collecting goal for 2014 is to find more T206 scrap for Johnny's collection.

Seriously though, find a few more T206s and get a little closer to finishing my set.

I started my t206 collection this year in January. purchased around 23 so far this year. I would like to pick up a cobb this weekend at the philly show. for 2014, I would like to collect more of the hall of famers so I may not buy as many commons. but hey, who knows what I will buy.... depends on the mood and the deal. also, would like to consider collecting another set as well but not sure if that is a good idea.

I plan to continue my quest to attain the following T206 HOF's:

All (4) T. Cobbs
All (2) W. Johnsons
Lajoie throwing Jan 2014
Lajoie with bat Jan 2014
Mathewson portrait Jan 2014
Mathewson dark cap Jan 2014
All (3) C. Youngs Jan 2014
I already have the Lajoie portrait & Mathewson white cap.

Would like to get really close to finishing up some sets:

T206 Tolstoi Backs - Need 77 more confirmed cards
E91A - 27/33 (Some of these seem impossible)
1933 Goudey - 230/240 (Would like to get my first Ruth)
1934 Goudey - 80/96
1936 Goudey - 14/25
1939-46 Salutation Exhibits - 76/83

I just hit 460 T206s in SGC50 or better today.

My goal for 2014 is to hit the 500 mark in SGC50 or better.

I only have 18 "commons" to go and only 8 Southern Leaguers to go, so that means I have quite a few HOFers to add.

Once you hit the 450 mark, it gets difficult and expensive, especially since I have a minimum grade of SGC50 to shoot for.

1. Continue to sell off my modern collection (already sold off about half of it) and try real hard to stop buying that stuff - except for an occasional Pirate.

2. Double my T206 set (currently at 75) to 150. Including getting an AB back and either a Wojo Hands at Chest or Matty White Cap.

3. Triple my E121 set (just started and currently at 10) to 30 including getting at least 5 HOFers.

4. Add at least 10 new/different Pirate Pre-War Types.

5. Spend just the right amount of money on that stuff so that my wife does not file for divorce (I can get away with slightly more than she spends on shoes....that's our deal).

Oh yeah.....one more - attend the National in Cleveland and meet some of you guys.

jason, that's an impressive list of goals you got there...and maybe it's a good thing that your wife spends money on shoes, so it gives you two a nice balance

Phil...that's going to be one impressive set when you get done with it! Make sure you share when you get it completed

As for me...

1. Finish my T201 set...only need 8, so it should be done within a few months if the right ones come along

2. No definitive number on the amount of T206's I want to accumulate for the year, but I'd say on average, close to one per week...so we'll say 40...that will get me over the 200 mark.

3. Grab anything that really gets my attention...could be anything. I collect a wide array of cards, so I have to keep it somewhat open and not restrict myself or I'll go nuts

4. Keep seeing everyone's beautiful pieces...this will go as scheduled as long as everyone keeps posting their gems...love looking at everyone's collection here on Net54...most recently, Steven's CJ set...pure beauty!
