Year in Review and Collecting Goals for 2017

[mattsey9]

From 2016:


1. Double my T206 collection from 50 to 100. Would like to include one Cobb in there somewhere. 0-1. T206 dropped off my radar this year. I think I'm at 55 or so. No current interest in the set.

2. Finish my 1934 Goudey set, at least the low numbers and get close on the highs.I'm down to 11, including the blue Gehrig. The rest are commons, mostly highs,

3. Find a T204 of Andy Coakley for my 1908 Cubs players collection.DONE!!!!!

4. Finally start working on a 1953 Bowman color set.Started!!!! 25% Done.

5. Collect the 2016 Heritage set and make sure not to dwell around the shiny stuff any more than this.Pretty successful at not going wild. Topps Now got me for a few cards.


For 2017:

1. Work to finish 1934 Goudey.

2. Have a come to Jesus meeting with myself on what to collect next. T205 is calling my name, but I want to pare down my collection first to make space/funds for it.

3. Break the grip that my old commons have on me from the 80s and find them another home.

4. Write at least one more player bio for SABR.

2016 was a good year. I picked up a Breisch-Williams at a very affordable price.

The search list for 2017 is topped by trying to find a Cleveland Piedmont Art Stamp. I am also searching for a 1961 Key Chain Indian.

You can find me trolling the internet for the 1961 and checking all the auctions for the Stamp.

2016 was a year of thinning the heard as far as collecting goes. I stopped and sold off various projects and took a bit of a break to figure out what I really wanted to collect. Landed at N172s, and haven't looked back.

My main 2016 goal was to add a Hugh Duffy OJ, which I was able to do a little while back.

Hoping to stay focused in 2017.
