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

To go along with what others have said, this was my first year diving in to pre-war, and this site and all ya'll have been wonderful and a huge help. From advice I've been given, to deals I've made, to just reading old threads and learning, you guys have been an invaluable resource.

Since I didn't have any goals to start the year, I'll give my two favorite pickups of 2016:

1. Hal Chase T206 Pink Portrait from Glenn here on the boards (for my T206 no hat portrait set)
2. T206 Scoops Carey Old Mill (for my pre-war Memphis collection)

Here are some things I'd like to knock off in 2017:

1. Finish a front run of white border Memphis players (T206 Cranston and T213-2 Cranston, Carey, Schlei, and Willett)

2. Obtain (2) T210-8 Memphis players

3. Add at least 15 new cards to my T206 portrait set, with at least 2 HOFers

4. Add one copy of each: N162 (baseball), N172, N300

I think that should be enough to keep my busy throughout the new year. Thanks again to everybody that has helped and shared info along the way. Happy Holidays to you all!
