Name one 2022 hobby resolution you are most likely to uphold

I wanted to buy a Jackie Robinson card or exhibit this year, and it got away from me by pursuing other avenues. That is still a goal for 2022. Either the exhibit, 54, 55, or 56 Topps.

Complete the 1971 Topps baseball set.

Down to one card (624-A's team).

Had hoped to finish this last year, 50 years late, but I prefer all these raw and I want to hold them in my hand before I buy.

No great sentimental attachment to the set because of its beastly nature, but me completing it has been like the ending of Das Boot.

Don't buy a low end copy of a card because I can easily afford it. Save up for a higher grade copy that I won't feel the need to upgrade right away. And make sure it's centered.

I have two goals for 2022 and am likely to really stick to only one...going through my "completed" sets and upgrading the cards I have listed as candidates for replacement. I usually start a set with a fair size 'lot' of commons and minor stars and there are usually a few cards in there that are below standard, even for me. I've culled the beaters already but I have some with marks, creases, or too soft corners that I haven't gotten to yet. This is particularly true for sets that frustrated me as I got close to finishing them, like the '57 and '61 Topps baseball sets and '61 Fleer football.

Since I have no intention of starting another set chase any time soon this will give me a way to keep my hand in the hobby without having to shake my head over the price of a high number '67 common which is how I spent 2021.

My other goal/resolution (for several years now) has been to finish my 1975 Topps mini set but I've kind of lost interest in that one.

+1 and then some. This is my credo for my HoF pitcher project (OP). Will gladly settle for a one or two grade drop if it is centered.

I’ve got to clean out the basement by selling some 1980s and 1990s Sports Collectors Digests, Tuff Stuff, and Baseball Card magazines that I’ve picked up here and there.

Crickets from me on that one. Every year I promise myself to stay off the rabbit trails and focus on the sets I really want to finish, but then I can't help but look on the BST auction site and find another interesting 1990's set that Fred has up, and I end the year with a closet full of $40 boxes of cards.

With 14 13 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.
