What are your collecting goals for 2020

[SikSyko]

1. Pick up at least 1000 hockey autographs that are not in my collection (this one should be easy).

2. Get 5 of the 8 I need to finish off my 1964/65 Parkhurst (1994) set.

3. Get a few more Perez-Steele HOF Postcards (1980-2002), need 19 to finish off the set.

4. Finish off a few of the pack pulled autograph sets.

5. Pick up 500 baseball, football and basketball autographs that I do not have in my collection.

6. Transfer all the signed cards out of the binders into top loaders. Have been saying this for a few years now, just lazy on this one.

7. Move some furniture to get into a closet that has a bunch of signed stuff. It's going to be nice to see what is in there, has been 15+ years since I've seen what is there.

Chris,

Good luck with your goals. I'm always looking for Ottawa Lynx items from 2003-2006, especially programs, team photos and player postcards. Please keep me in mind if you come across any.

Last year my collection sustained a few significant hits thanks to a spate of forgeries — but, yes, I most certainly am still trying to add new and duplicate authentic signed T206s. (Let me know if you have any to sell or trade!)

The only new one I got this year was this Deacon Phillippe, which I have been chasing for nearly a decade. Click the image to see the JSA cert.

My goal for 2019 was to get to 250 for my signed 1953 Topps project. I just squeaked past it to get to 252, and there were two more that got away this year. I picked up the last Red Sox I needed, and the last Boston Brave I need I have yet to see come up in the five and a half years I've been working on this project. The remaining cards I need will be either rare, expensive, or both. If I can pick up five in 2020, I'll consider it a win. My full wantlist is below:

9 Joe Collins
22 Howie Fox
27 Roy Campanella
82 Mickey Mantle
83 Howie Pollet
86 Billy Martin
88 Willie Jones
99 Dave Madison
104 Yogi Berra
144 Bob Schultz
161 Vern Bickford
217 Murray Wall
218 Les Fusselman
220 Satchell Paige
222 Vic Janowicz
232 Dick Kokos
245 Bill Norman
258 Jim Gilliam
270 Vern Stephens
272 Bill Antonello
274 John Riddle
278 Willie Miranda

I exceeded my goal; I picked up seven cards I needed for my project, and there were a couple others that got away. The remaining ones I need are:

22 Howie Fox
27 Roy Campanella
82 Mickey Mantle
83 Howie Pollet
86 Billy Martin
144 Bob Schultz
161 Vern Bickford
218 Les Fusselman
220 Satchell Paige
232 Dick Kokos
245 Bill Norman
258 Jim Gilliam
270 Vern Stephens
272 Bill Antonello
274 John Riddle

I also started working on signed 1950, 1951 and 1952 Bowman Red Sox sets. I picked up several of the tougher ones, and have leads on a couple more.
