2015 Collecting Goals

[Joe_G.]

I had a successful 2014 but only met 1 of 4 goals as the other items simply didn't surface. My goals this year are very similar, albeit condensed.

1) Locate and acquire one 1888 Detroit N172 that I still need (16 poses remain), bonus points if it happens to be Gilligan.
2) Locate and acquire one 1889 Detroit N172 that I still need (3 poses remain)
3) Locate and acquire one N173 Detroit, one N333 Detroit Journal NewsBoy, or Detroit Wolverine scorecard from a year I still need (1885 or 1888).

All three are about equally likely/unlikely. I would claim complete success with as little as two OJs and a scorecard.

1. Eddie Plank T5
2. Jack Coombs Blue & Green Bkgrnd E98s
3. D381 HOFer or two
4. 1959 Bazooka Ernie Banks
5. 1959 Bazooka Don Drysdale
6. the M101-6s Brian doesn't get
7. Philly A Rose PC I don't have
8. Connie Mack Old Judge
9. Philly A T5 I don't have
10. Cardinal photos

That should be a good starting point.

A good year, although only successful on item #3 with an N173 of Sam Thompson. I also picked up several N333s but no Detroits. None of the 19 Detroit N172 poses I need made an appearance in 2015.

Someone should/needs to start the "Favorite Pick-Ups of 2015" thread which should compliment this nicely (applies to everyone and may include items that were not identified as goals at start of year).
