I am collecting football and basketball complete sets from 1952-73. I completed a few football sets in 2018. I am doing 10% per year through 2025. I am on pace at 40%+ for all but one set (53 Bowman) and I am way over that number for many sets. By the end of 2019 I hope to complete more sets and get the number to 50% or higher. Closest sets to finish include 58 Topps baseball (8 cards- nothing too expensive), 57 Topps football (18 cards), and 67 Topps football (18 cards as well).
I am also working on collecting 10 graded cards for every set that interests me beyond that. That includes basketball and hockey, plus baseball 1909-1951. This year I added graded Exhibit cards of Ruth, Cobb, Gehrig, Johnson, Alexander, Johnson, and about 25 more to my collection. I also grabbed a bunch of graded R cards and oddballs. 2018 worked. Hopefully 2019 will be as kind.

2018
1. Find a few cards for my T206 Providence team set. -Made almost no progress here. Added only one card. Finding the missing Tolstoi/AB/EPDG/Cycle backs turning out to be harder than I thought. 2. Start and get half of a low-grade Sport Kings set. -Made very good progress here, getting 37 of the 48. 2019 1. Finish the Sport Kings set. 2. Add two or three cards for the T206 Provdence set including at least one Tolstoi.

Steven, awesome pickups in 2018! I wish I could have a year like you!
 So, I'm really late on this, but I've liked doing this every year. Here are the goals from 2018: Link 2018 Goals: (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. Partial check? I really didn't pick up the one "huge" card that I was looking for. My highlight of the year was probably a 1925-29 Universal Toy Ruth card that most folks probably have never heard of. I did pick up another Headin' Home Ruth, a 1922 E121 Ruth Photo Montage, and a 1928 Star Player Candy Ruth (very trimmed), so can't really complain. Finally, I sold my M101-6 Ruth (NY) and my E122 Ruth. (2) Continue to make progress on small sets (W519-2, W521, W590). Check. Picked up a W519 Type 2 Collins and a W590 Gehrig. 2019 Goals: Going to be more of the same as the last few years. (1) Continue to prune back collection and focus more on tough Ruth cards. Also, still looking for that one "huge" card this coming year. (2) Continue to make progress on small sets (W519-2, W521, W590).
