Goals (I hope to stay in this order)

1) Finish the process of organizing and scanning what I have

2) Finally sell/trade all the stuff in the sale box- this will make my wife happy as she is sick of me having it out in the open as a reminder that I need to sell/trade what's in it.

3) Reach the following milestones for my HOF collections: 85% Baseball (+20 cards), 70% Hockey (+65 cards), 90% Football (+62 cards) & finally organize my golf HOF collection so I even know what I have % wise

4) Slow down the Monster pursuit but get to 50% (+27 cards)

5) Pick away at my Cope's Golfers set

6) Pick up another 15 PSA 10 Martin Brodeur Cards

7) Stay focused on the list above

Hopefully 2015 will bring a close to a couple T210 subsets I'm very close on. Other than those two, steady progress on the rest of my collection would be nice as well. Good luck to everyone in the new year!

My goal for 2014 was to sell a bunch of misc stuff to fund pursuit of The Monster - I did pretty well - thanks to all the members that bought from me on BST last year, my MN is at 509.
2015 goals:
1. Continue to downsize collection - especially books, publications and newspapers. I might set up at The National and try to unload a couple hundred pieces.
2. Peck away at The Monster - adding 4 or 5 in 2015 would be good.
3. Continue pursuit of a Magie - gotta get those 80 points.
4. Continue opportunistic buying of Cobb, Banks, Shoeless, Jackie, Satchel when the price is right.
5. Win Cave's fantasy baseball league again - highly unlikely given tough competition.

I'd like to get over 100 pre-war postcards in my collection. After that, I'll start on the next 100!

My Goals:

A) 5 mid-grade T206's - Green Cobb a must!
B) N508 Sub-Rosa - Grab 'em when I find 'em
C) Welcome a happy and healthy addition to my family this July (most important)

Good luck to all

With 2015 coming to a close - it's time to look back at our goals for 2015.

A) CHECK! (Thanks Jake - it's like my very own beachfront property)
B) Grabbed two of them (Thanks Jobo for always being on the lookout)
C) CHECK! My little baby girl has slowed down my time spent on my collection, but it has been the best 5 months of my life!

Although technically I succeeded in only half of my goal (Sam Smith - Louisville from my A list), 2015 was ridiculously good year. I added 23 Old Judge players in total including one other Louisville player, two Milwaukee players, three Denver players, two Minneapolis players, a Chicago Maroon and two Spotted Ties. In addition, I managed to nab Leon's Old Judge/Dog's Head advertising spinner and a Dog's Head pack. I sort of threw caution to the wind in 2015 since I was still on my severance package after losing my job and knew that I would have to seriously rein in my activity in 2016.

Therefore, at the risk of being repetitive for 2016 I'll keep my goal at one Old Judge "A" list player and one Old Judge "B" list player and be happy to hit 50%.
