Default finish

my higher grade or lower grade Goodwin Champion sets. Anson and all but a Dunlap down but some of the NS cards are more elusive. Maybe a dozen missing in each.

SHAMELESS PLUG - finders fee and silly price paid for an N43 Ginter champions Edwards boxer.........

I thought the purpose of a "man cave" was to be a place of seclusion for men - or at least this man in this cave. Instead, as I was contemplating the important things in life; such as the order of importance for my pre-war goals, I get barged in on to answer questions about... well, I am not even sure.

In any event, now that my thinking is clear again, I also want to continue my Dummy Taylor back run.

Default 2016 Hobby Goals

I posted this on another forum recently. I'm keeping my goals simple this year.

1) My #1 goal is to commission a Graig Kreindler painting.

2) And my only other hobby goal is to pick up at least one really nice N173 OJ cabinet.

Anything else is just a bonus.

I'd like to find a T206 Johnson (pitching) Piedmont Factory 42 to finish my version of the back run.

Good luck to everyone with their goals,
Steve

1. Add/upgrade 15-20 cards to my T206 150-350 series back run (I'm at 121/159)
2. Add to my stack of T207s and decide if I am going after the set or just getting my favorite poses.
3. Would like to find a T206 Young bare hand or Matty white cap with OM, Hindu, or EPDG back.
4. Add 3 new cards to my T205 back run.
5. Maybe this will be the year I find a really nice SGC 40-60 e95 Wagner to finish my set?

Default 2016 Goals

My 2016 goal is to continue with more catchers in the T207 set, pick up a few more T206 catchers with American Beauty backs, and maybe pickup the handful of cards that will complete my catcher card run in sets like: 1910 Old Mill (Thoss,) 1912 zeenuts (Claude Berry,) 1912 Home Run Kisses (Ralph Kreitz,) and lastly add some catcher memorabilia.

I'm nuts which gives me an exemption from goals.

Hoping to acquire a much more focused list this year:
1) t206 Matty Dark Cap
2) 33 Goudey Ruth 149
3) 34 Goudey Gehrig 61
4) t206 Cobb Bat On
5) t206 Cobb Green (might have to rethink this one considering I'll be bidding against half the board, it seems)

Odds are, I'll acquire one of the above, buy a T3 or two, pickup some unnessary stuff at the National, and start and stop building e93, 41 Play Ball, 14 CJ, and Delong HoF sets, leaving my collection even more disparate than it is today.

Brian, thanks for confirming my long-held suspicion! Before you are institutionalized, please be so kind as to let me have your W504 card of Sam Rice.

Also hoping to acquire at least one of these Sam Rice cards: 1917 D350-2 Standard Biscuit, 1927 E210-2 York Caramel, 1928 F50 Harrington's Ice Cream, and 1931 W502.

And one or more of these 1910 E222 A.W.H. Caramel cards: Ison, Lipe, Revelle, and Ryan.

I have perhaps oversimplified my collecting goals for 2016.

My new goal is to get rid of stuff I no longer love/want...and replace it with things I Need!

1933 Delong Gehrig

1933 Goudey Ruth #53 or possibly a #144.

If I have either of those in hand in a decent 2-4 grade by next New Years it will have been a good notch off the big list.

I hope to add to the Monster, though I'm not sure who, how or when.

2016 goals:
1. Try and obtain a lower grade 51 Mays (sold my 7oc)
2. Cobb Bat-on T206 (low grade 2-3?) to complete my 4 cobb run and make a nice display.
3. Wishing for a 33 Ruth someday??
4. Might grab a Wagner piece
5. Might do some upgrades--like a RED CoBB Lenox back.

Postwar-
1. Not much here- Rookie wise ..seems to me i be focusing more on pre-war this year.

I doubt that you can find one of those for sale anywhere.
