2022 Priorities

[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.

Down to 14, that is awesome. Best of luck getting a few this year. I know one we are both looking for because my dumb butt traded mine away.

E90-1 Speaker (probably a stretch for me)
E94 Speaker
E94 Lajoie
14-CJ Speaker
Upgrade some of my T206’s to off backs (or better looking examples).

My goal at the beginning of the year was to add five signed 1953 Topps. I only added two, with two more that got away, so if I can pick up three more this year I'll get up to 264 and call it a win.

Really hoping to run across some T210/T211/T213 Memphis cards this year. Was lucky enough to pick up a T211 earlier this year on here, but missed out on a few T210s and T213s at auction throughout the year (just bad timing for me).

I'm also hoping to start working on a mid-grade set of 1953 Bowman Color, add a few new T206 portraits (hopefully with a HOFer in the mix), as well as continuing to hunt down some modern projects I'm working on.

May 2022 bless us all with cardboard goodness.

My Top 5 (Net54 version) are:

1. T206 - Oscar Stanage (Tolstoi back)
2. T205 Oscar Stanage (Hindu back)
3. Tigers A.C. Dietsche Postcards Oscar Stanage
4. Diamond Stars Jimmie Foxx
5. Diamond Stars Hank Greenberg

My goal is to try to make progress on or finish some of the sets I'm currently working on without starting any new ones. I'm getting close on a lot of them, but I'm down to a lot of short prints and big stars.

T202 - 120/132
T205 - 201/221
1927 Exhibits - 53/64
1934 Goudeys - 78/96
1948/49 Leaf - 98/101
1951 Topps Connie Mack All-Stars - 8/11
1951 Topps Major League All-Stars - 1/8
1953 Canadian Exhibits - 125/128
1961 Post - 173/200
1963 Post - 183/209
1971 Topps Greatest Moments - 52/55

I would like to add a T206 Eddie Plank to my HOF portrait collection.

That’s it!

Jay, I'm in the same boat you're in, and thinking exactly like you. I have 20 different pre-war sets where I'm down to needing only three cards or less to complete them, and less than 10 cards to go on 8 more pre-war sets. And also like you, a lot of the still missing ones are the really rare cards, or the big stars.

My biggest problem is I'm also a bit of a type card collector as well, and always get distracted when something different or unusual pops up that I may not have seen in quite some time, if ever at all before. However, it does make it a blessing from the collecting standpoint in that no matter where or what show or AH sale/auction I go to or look at, I always seem to come across something I'm interested in. I guess that can also be looked at as a curse as well. LOL

1. Finish my T206 Krause Portrait "non ultra-rare" back run. I need the EPDG, Sovereign and SweetCap 350/25.
2. Finish at least one other "common" back run from a list of like 7 or 8 players where I've got at least 3 or 4 already
3. Finish 4-5 of the Southern League portraits where I have 1 of the 2 (or 3) required
4. End the year with 200+ front/back combos, picking up cards I need that are reasonably priced (I may need to shift my definition of reasonably priced)

I still need him as well!

I'd like to add 3 more signed 1952 topps

Since every thread needs a card or a lot of small pieces of cards.

Ted and Dale I got this close. The artist just sent me a picture. I can't wait till next week to have it in hand so I can frame and display it.

I suppose that my pre-war White Sox wish list for 2022 would be:

1. Get to 250 front/back combos on my White Sox T206 master set (currently at 244)
2. Add a M101-6 (any Sox player)
3. Add a 1926 Exhibits (any Sox player)
4. Add a Novelty Cutlery PC of Walsh
5. Add a Wiliam Patterson (any Sox player)
6. Add a T204 Ramly John Anderson with a T.T.T. back
7. Add a $-on-Shield PC (any Sox player)

This year, I want to focus on areas in the hobby that I feel are overlooked at the moment and have great growth potential.
