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.

I didnt meet either of my goals from 2016 so far:

Complete another T210 Series....down to 1 in Series 4, 11 in Series 5, 10 in Series 7

Add at least two Richmond Colts to my T209 set......only added 1

It was still a very good year as I picked up a bunch of tough cards and made some new hobby acquaintances.

2017 Goals

1. Finish T210-4 and get to single digits in a few others
2. Add two T209-2 Richmond Colts
3. Complete my 1979 Topps Set
4. Obtain a E222 any E222
