2015 Collecting Goals

[4815162342]

Speaking of mental illness, I hope to add a few more of those arduous and tenuous E105s to my hoard set. 21 down, 29 to go.

I'll be on the lookout for a T210 Series 8 - Osteen.

Hopefully, I'll be able to mostly sit 2015 out, like I was intending to in 2014 (and 2013)...

If reality has its way, and the urge kicks in, at least the focus remains very narrow, still just T207 subsets ... a few very specific upgrades to SGC 40+ and a few front/back combos for the year would be great.

So many of you helped make 2014 a success, I am truly grateful. The sense of community and (generally) camaraderie makes Net54 a good place to visit ... often ...

Hope you all have a great 2015

2014 has been a mixed bag. I hit most of my goals. Picked up two T200's (both Chicagos) and got my first, and only, Mayo.

On the downside, I still can't find the last Greenwood (87 Pocatello Mike Greenwood) for my Greenwood player collection. I have been able to pick up two N172 Greenwoods over the years, but can't locate this one.

2014

1. Let's try this one again - period Cy Young < $200 Check - Domino Disc
2. 10 hits to my type collection Check
3. 10 hits to my player collections Check
4. Add 15 34-36 Diamond Stars Struck out here
5. Take more trips to my existing binders and enjoy what I have. Check

Now on to 2015:

1. Close out my contemporaneous card HOF (1901-2001) list by getting a Dizzy Dean and Jack Chesbro
2. Add 2 T200 to get to 10
3. Add 5 35 Goudey 4 in 1
4. Add 5 34-36 Diamond Stars
5. Add 5 T206

I was only able to add these fellas to the E105 collection this year - so we're now 23 down, 27 to go:



I really wanted to pick up the Cobb and the Chance that were in auction this year, but the funds were allocated elsewhere. They both went for low prices, but I'm sure that when they come up again in a few years and I'm ready to buy, they'll go through the roof.

Besides E105s, I did pick up a handful of cheap, raw E102s for fun.

[Prince Hal]

Had a great 2015 and looking forward to a better 2016. The highlight was picking up a Black Swamp Hal Chase and 1916 Everybodys Yankee.

For 2016, the easy first...I've started to collect the T206 HOF portrait cards so I will continue on that path in 2016. I picked up several in 2015 in the SGC 10 to 40 range with great centering and eye appeal.

Now the tough and impossible for 2016 and beyond...

Cracker Jack Frank Chance
T204 Ramly Blair
D381 Fleishmann Love (or any Yankee D381 other than Donovan)
T213-2 Frank Chance NY Am.
E121 Rip Collins, Quinn and Roth
T206 Uzit, Carolina Brights, Hindu Red and Drum Yankee

Easy right!
