Peek into your collection/thoughts of 2015

[pokerplyr80]

I hadn't responded to the original post, but My goals were to pick up a Goudey Ruth 144, 55 Clemente, 51 Bowman Mantle, and a 52 Topps Mantle. A green T206 Cobb is also high on the list.

I've got 3 out of the first 4. As you may have seen in a post of mine I'm still searching for the 52 Mantle. The Cobb will have to wait for now.

2016's goal will be a Joe Jackson card.

2015
Pickup up several RC's for my collection.
Also, added a t206 Red Cobb (double name t/b) & a green Cobb ---didnt think i ever do some Cobbs or any pre-war, would of thought a Ruth Goudey been first for sure.

Still looking for a FanCraze Wagner & 25 Gehrig P/C
Sold Mantle collection (ecept 51b & 52)
Currently selling Football RC collection..so i can buy more baseball cards.

Rest of 2015-early 2016--- slow, very slow..might be heading towards pre-war like finishing the 4 Cobb run or adding a Ruth Goudey or just save for the unexpected when it pops.

Having cut my collection in half by selling my 1957-1980 topps sets, I am further 'culling' by selling off several T206 and other PSA-graded cards that do not hold my attention.

My recent focus has been high-grade Mantle & Koufax cards which will take the place of many of the cards I am parting with. I have only the '57, '58, '60, & '62 Mickeys to go.

There are also a few cards in Leon's auction that I hope to land.

The idea is to wind up with a 'tighter' collection with better sustained value.

This is all driven by the pessimist in me, preparing for my operation, but trying not to leave a lot for the family to 'clean up' should something 'bad' occur.

The proceeds will also help pay for the portion of the medical bills not covered by my high-priced, but at least available, health insurance.
