2022 Priorities

[mrreality68]

My 2022 priorities are slightly different in nature

Priority 1 is to pay down debt and regroup the finances from over buying in 2021.
There were so many cards that came up that I do not normally get to see or purchase that I was afraid if I did not pick them up I may not get a chance at them.
Priority 2 is continue my run on Joe Jackson playing day cards, postcards,etc
Priority 3 is slow strategic growth of early playing day Ruth Cards focusing on the early 1920’s (approx 1920 thru 1926)
Priority 4 control my overall addiction to cards and auctions

I'm with you on #4, Jeff!

[Exhibitman]

Just play it as it lays. But an H566 Royal Glue Sullivan would be a nice thing to find.

[Natswin2019]

I completed most of my goals from last year which im pretty happy about. For this year I'd love to get to

1. Finish my 55 topps set ( down to 34 left, Ill probably get them all minus the Clemente rookie unless my finances change)
2. Finish my 50 Bowman set ( down to about a quarter of the set left)
3. Grab all the Virginia based t206 Southern leaguers
4. Pick up more T-210 Richmond Colts
5. Get more prewar RVA based items
6. Pick up a Tinker,Evers, Chance T202

In additon to these ill also just keep adding cards I think are cool and neat

[Bobbycee]

Jumping on a Cobb Bat Off in a PSA 4, if one ever comes up at a reasonable price.

[Luke]

I always try to stay flexible enough to take the opportunities that present themselves rather than have a set plan. But there are a few things I hope will happen in 2022:

1. Add 2 or 3 T206 HOFers with rare backs
2. Add 5 or so HOFers to my Worch Cigar stash
3. Add 15 or so cards to my 1936 WWG set
4. Find another 1924 Diaz HOFer
5. Find a T207 Napoleon Speaker

[rjackson44]

So I can buy high end zion cards ooops sorry

[Yoda]

A Covidless world.

[bnorth]

Pretty much same as last year. I want to add to my T210 Ft Worth team set and add a few more new to me Wade Boggs bat models.

[John1941]

Most of my goals are post-war, but here they are anyway.

1. Reach 350 different 1959 Topps cards, and add five superstars.
2. Get eight Zeenuts.
3. Finally get some Japanese cards.
4. Reach 50 different for 1952 Bowman.

That's it, for now. Not overly ambitious.

I've always wanted that card and have never picked one up. GOod luck with your search.

[ullmandds]

Continue to add to my Ruth/Cobb collection, Yankee binders...and hoping to someday obtain the last t216 Kotton Dots Miller I need to complete my run.

[Kidnapped18]

1. Add at least twelve more 14 CJs (one each month) including at least 1 or 2 HOFers and upgrade my 106 Joe Birmingham
2. Picking up a couple T206 Southern Leaguers including Greminger and Hickman

[irv]

With 14 cards remaining, all 52 Topps high numbers, I will continue to pursue those in hopes of at least adding a couple/few throughout the year. Some upgrades here and there as well is also quite possible.

Outside of those, I will continue to look and watch for other cards that also pique my interest.

I like nice pricey things just as much as the next collector, but one thing I learned this year is that I've made a few $100 and less purchases of unique interesting things that I enjoyed more over time than $15,000 + high end purchases. Find cool stuff that piques your interest as a fan, use it to learn more about some obscure baseball corner of the universe . . . . .don't get any better than that.

Solid advice, Steve, I'm going to try this

[taul166]

Figure out what my priorities are.....all of these partial sets I have and am building are driving me crazy.

[Jewish-collector]

Just to enjoy the hobby, because sometimes you just gotta say WTF

[Vintagecatcher]

This past year I picked up more catcher B18s, T210s, E254 & E270 Colgan Chips, catcher S74s, catcher position pins, and catcher rppcs, and would like to do the same in 2022.

[x2drich2000]

I couldn't find my goals for 2021, but they likely were pretty close to my goals in 2020 and will be the same in 2022 (except #1).

1) Pick up an E93 Cobb - Yes, finally, completed the E93 set
2) Add another E92 red croft, menagerie, or prizefighter - Didn't even see one up for sale
3) Add 2 more cards to the E92 Nadja Set - Added 1, Kleinow. Only other card I saw offered that I needed was a Bridwell but lost out on it and refuse to buy the one on Ebay.
4) Add another back to my E/T Young backrun (preferable a T216) - Added E92 Dockman
5) Finish my Davis backrun (need cocoa and maybe black candy) - nope, didn't see either offered for sale
6) Add another Wagner, Cobb, and maybe Ruth - Partial - Added M110 Cobb, but no Ruth or Wagner. Also added a few other key cards (E95 Mathewson, E92 Croft Candy Mathewson, Lincoln Pub Plank)

For 2022 I would also like to add another T222 Short-print, finish my W554 set, and pick another significant HOFer for the PC796/novelty cutlery set.

[Rich Falvo]

Same general goal for me - add to my Providence T206 team set. Would love to get the final Cycle that I need (Lavender). My spending for the year might depend on what's available in the next two installments of the David Hall T206 Collection auctions in the spring

Not much traction on that set lately, so I may look for another set to work on.

I probably spent more in 2021 than I had in every other year of my collecting history combined. And while I don’t regret it, I certainly can’t do that again. Some of the most expensive things I bought weren’t even on my radar coming into the year. I’m looking directly at you on that one, Jeff.

Well said, Jeff. This is me in a nutshell. I'll be looking to finish my T3 set as I can, but otherwise heading into a 2022 collecting hibernation. At least that's what I plan to do, addiction notwithstanding

EDIT: Oh, and waiting for SGC to open grading at $10 or less per card. I acknowledge that I may be waiting forever

[joejo20]

I collect Lou Criger cards and my 2022 Collecting goals/wantlist:

PC743 Bregstone PC

Rose Co. PC

M101-1

S74 Silk

T205 Rare Backs

This should be tough but will be fun searching. Joe
