What about twerking it?

[x2drich2000]

I'm planning to continue to focus on the e92 Nadja set. I highly doubt I'll be able pick up even a quarter of the number of cards I did this year, so hopefully by the second half of the year I'll have enough saved to grab a big HOFer like Mathewson or one of the Wagners. Anyone have a lead on a very low grade one?

I'm going to kick 2015 in the nuts starting in about February or March. Assuming I don't do something stupid again, I'll be able to really hit my collection hard for the first time. And I am really looking forward to it.

After picking up this little guy I will certainly be looking to advance the name at top collection. I sit at 132 different examples and hope to add at least 30 next year. Thanks to everyone that has helped me so far. This wouldn't be possible without Net54 and people willing to part with these beauties.

Wow Doug, congrats! Got to hold that beauty at the National....dream card.

Bill - I love your approach.

Thank you, Alex. I have to admit, it's been incredibly difficult restraining myself, especially seeing all these great cards coming in. But it was necessary. I couldn't in good conscience spend a lot of money on baseball cards until I had my savings back to where I felt comfortable. I expect that by the end of January, or the end of February at the latest I'll have a full year's worth of bills and living expenses, plus my maximum out of pocket for my health insurance, set aside. Knowing that, I'll have no problem going after some of the bigger items on my want list. I'm keeping myself sane in the mean time making little purchases, mostly working on my 1975 set.

Doug-that Cy Young is unbelievable. Honestly, how many times a day are you looking at that thing?

I love these types of threads as you really get to see there progress everyone is making with their collection. Personally, I've only added 1 e92 Nadja, Stone (green), which is probably the 2nd easiest card in the seat. I've also picked up an e92 Kleinow with a menagerie back to compliment the Nadjas and an e93 Plank (now just need to find a decent looking lower grade Cobb to complete the set).

Great hearing from everyone. I've been very much enjoying set-building low grade 1954 Topps, usually by small lots, taking care to spend less than $2/card. My vintage mainstays used to simply be Lefty Grove and Eck, but 1954 Topps takes me back to the days when I used to read Archie comics.

Since my Modern card pursuits are largely finished (and I'm not a fan of chasing a gazillion parallels in later-year issues of my favorite players), this should tide me over for some time.

The Cleveland list gets shorter and shorter. Top 2 on the wishlist are a Breisch-Williams and a Novelty Cutlery. Wish me luck.

Holy Grails, indeed. Good luck, Chris!
