2017 highlights and collecting goals for 2018

[glchen]

I've really enjoyed doing this every year.

2017 Goals:

(1) Continue to prune back collection and focus more on tough Ruth cards, trying to obtain 1-2 "big" cards (not necessarily Ruth). The big ones here are that I would like to obtain a 1915 CJ Cobb and a E93/94 Cobb, both with decent eye appeal. Partial Check. I've traded away some big cards (c1915 RPC Babe Ruth, 1922 W575-1 "Babe" Ruth), but I've also picked up some nice ones (M101-6 Ruth (NY), W503 Ruth). Never did pick up any Cobb cards.

(2) Continue to make progress on small sets (W519-2, W521, W590). Only picked up one W521 this year, and none of the others. Very slow going.

2018 Goals:

This is going to be continue to be more of the same as the last few years.

(1) Continue to prune back collection and focus more on tough Ruth cards. I've been able to save up some funds this past year, so I would like to pick up one "huge" card this coming year. Would love to get a T210 Jackson although that card is probably still beyond my means. The Cracker Jack Cobb is still very high on my list also.

(2) Continue to make progress on small sets (W519-2, W521, W590).
