2022 Priorities

[Snapolit1]

Looks like everyone wants to buy a Babe Ruth next year. I'm stunned.

Very stunned indeed

And that is part of the reason why all Ruth Cards (even the previously under appreciated ones) are all jumping in prices. And as some are getting to high people are moving to other cards that are still affordable thus driving them up to.

Pick up any T207's I need for front/back master-master ... excluding RedCross, Lewis no-emblem, and blank/brown-print varietals. So 703-709 or so cards:

• Recruit/240 - 155
• Recruit/606 - 155
• Napoleon - 144 currently known, 150 likely, 155 maybe?
• Recruit/Anon 3 - 49

• Broadleaf - 50
• Cycle - 50
• Anon/3 - 50
• Anon/25 - 50

Of the 703 known/catalogued, I'm at 655. For 2021, I picked up 3 cards ... but then 8 months of the year were spent prepping, selling, renovating and moving in (which is still a work-in-progress), so I shouldn't complain.

Fingers crossed for '22.

T201 Lord/Dougherty factory 30. The last card I need to finish my master set.

So true. Oh the struggle 🤷🏻*♂️🤭

Figure out where I'm going to go next with my Mantle run. Debating on selling some cards as well. Probably going to try and get the 51 Bowman before it becomes completely unobtainable like the 52 Topps is. Will probably bide my time for a bit though, I am interested to see where things go, collecting wise, with this Lockout occurring. Wouldn't be shocked to see a bit of a dip if some games are missed out on.

I am currently debating though. Maybe I shift focus to a 53 Topps and use the remaining money to buy a nice Gehrig, I've always wanted a Lou for my collection.

Hoping I hit this powerball, then maybe I could just buy everything I want, now!

couldnt find my list for the last few yrs...
pretty sure it included 33 ruth goudey, or t206 cobb/postcard

looking ahead 2022:
1. Main goal is to add to my 1916-20 UNC big heads
2. Well the 33 ruth's are outpriced--so thats a No. Woulda loved a red!
3. Sold my red cobb (for personal reasons) as they are plentiful, not looking to re-coup.
4. Keeping my budget at a low (as noted above) but could sell others to fund purchases.

I made moderate progress on last year's list:

T207 Master (204/208)...now 206/208
1922 Exhibits (69/74)...now 73/74
1932 U.S. Caramel (28/31)...no change
R306 Butter Cream (18/30)...now 28/30
1939 Play Ball Sample Back (75/115)...now 78/115

I guess I'll work on these another year.

T clear out sone duplicates, and maybe finally finish the 76 Topps set. I've needed something like 9 cards since the mid 80's.....

I'd like to obtain the following by year end 2022:

-Any Billy Hamilton card from playing days, graded or not
-Fan Craze Hugh Duffy, graded or not
-Half dozen T206's graded 2.5 to 4.5
-Any N300 Mayo's Cut cards (except those altered by a certain national seller)
