2015 Collecting Goals

[tonyo]

My goals from the 2014 thread:
1. Continue to develop and maintain a relaxed pace on all my collecting projects. I was ok the first half of the year, but became a bit too obsessed in the second half of the year.
2. 50's, 60's, 70's topps/bowman hofer run - acquire all the "easy" ones. down to 3 easy ones needed http://net54baseball.com/showthread....72#post1359272
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. Check. down to 3 on my condition upgrade list, also picked up maybe a couple dozen less common backs and cards with backstamps or other interesting marks
4. Reach 100 different pre-war types. Check. Should receive a W502 Combs today to make it 100 different pre-war types
5. add to my e-card, t210, and t212 subsets. Picked up 8 e-cards from my want list. I'm down to 5 needed for my target subset now. I've pretty much decided to abandon my t210 and t212 subsets for now. I don't believe I added any from either this year.


My 2015 goals:
1. Develop and maintain a relaxed pace on all my collecting projects.
2. Continue to upgrade my t206 set by adding less common backs and cards with backstamps or other interesting period writing or marks.
3. Add a few cards from some of my favorite 30's sets to my pre-war type collection.
4. pick up two or three of the tougher cards from my post war topps/bowman regular issue hof run 48 thru 79. Still need five 52's, six 51topps, and these: http://net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=198147

Happy Holidays Everyone!

In 2015 I will continue working on the tough cards from the '41 Goudey set (I have only found 1 so far), and continue working on my T201 set. I also plan to add a few older graded world series tickets/stubs. I may also do a bit of type collecting to keep things interesting.

Good luck in 2015 everyone!

Step 1: Find the 1924 Diaz Cigarette of Guy Morton and Pete Donohue
Step 2: Find a 1933 Worch Cigar for Earl Averill
Step 3: Find a T207 Cleveland Nap Blank Back/Napoleon

Well looks like I'm carrying these 3 over. That said, finding the T216 VE of Bemis still made 2015 really strong for me
