2018 Collecting Goals

[mrozie21]

Looking to pick up a Gold 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates game used jersey as well as a nice home flannel jersey.

Almost forgot to add an original “21” patch for a 1973 Pirates Jersey.

Also, any unique Forbes Field items, especially an original “follow me to Forbes Field” sign

These top collecting goals are similar every year, but:

1) Continue to look for Johnny Vander Meer scarce collectibles that I don't currently own.
At present, my top want in this category would be a D & M Vander Meer endorsed glove for a left handed thrower.

2) Very selectively add Nolan Ryan game used pieces with provenance, especially from his Angels era.

3) Try to find 3 of the 49 remaining Nolan Ryan pitching appearance tickets to complete my collection of 807 career regular season games.

4) Add 1-2 new vintage no-hit tickets that I currently don't own.

5) Find 1 new early vintage no-hit pitcher autograph that I still need. I have approximately 17 obscure names on my want list at present. All pre-date 1920...

6) Get 2-3 of the remaining living no-hit club to sign their no-hit tickets. I currently need about 15 pitchers
