Your Hobby Dream. What is it?

[ullmandds]

completing my dots miller run was my ultimate hobby goal. I honestly was prepared for this hunt to last into my middle ages...but luckily with the help of friends in the hobby...it has been completed. I can die happy now!

One of the best runs I have ever seen. Congrats on this huge accomplishment.

For me, I want world peace first, and some unknown, great type card I don't have, after that.

Wonderful Dots Miller back run, Pete - congrats! Another one of my hobby dreams (I have several!) is to complete my Hugh Jennings back run, which is lacking a Croft's Candy w/red back, T216 Kotton Cigarettes w/"NGO" back, and a blank back:

Finish my visits to all the MLB and NFL stadiums...but the catch is by renting suites in each to avoid the annoying people.

I love the games, the drunk and/or rude fans ruin the experience sadly. It really has soured me over the years. Been in many a suite and I love it.

Here are a few, some obtainable, some not

-Have a dinner with Matty & Walter Johnson, or spend a week with them at the lake. They seem like guys who are low key that would be great to know better. Maybe gather a Texas Holdem Game together, I bet Tris Speaker would enjoy that!

-Be a fly on the wall in the New York Giants clubhouse after Merkle’s boner. I could just hear John McGraw now screaming, mainly thanks to the book, the Celebrant

-Would love to go to a National. Don’t have the funds now, but eyeing a potential 2025 trip.

-go back in time to save Doc Powers life by encouraging him to be a doctor and not play baseball.

-Card wise, the T206 Matty white cap is a dream. It’s not a big card, and I could theoretically trade or sell away for it now, but I love the cards I have and would rather keep what I have and build my funds up slowly.

-Find an undiscovered lot of T206 cards. I have had multiple dreams now of this happening… how cool would it be to search in the attic and come across hundreds of never seen before cards

-Find the connection between my family and Pud Galvin. Bearing his last name, I have a great uncle who grew up in the same part of STL as him. I haven’t had luck yet making the connection, but I think it’s there somehow… also would love to get an Old Judge Card of his.

-More hobby friends in the DFW area. The last two years in the hobby has been amazing and have met some wonderful people. Would love to get to know some more local hobby enthusiasts, so hit me up in you are in the metroplex and I’ll gladly buy you a cup of coffee to hear more of your card story!

To reduce my collection from filling an entire room to only filling a closet. Been working on this one for years. With some pretty good success.

For cards I wouldn't mind getting another 1952 Topps Eddie Mathews rookie. It is one of the few cards I regret parting with. A T206 Red Cobb with Old Mill back. Had the Cobb before but Piedmont back. The expensive one is the T210 Joe Jackson so I have all the players with the last name Jackson from the set.

In memorabilia I would love a Wade Boggs minor league or rookie bat to add to my meager Boggs bat collection. I only collect Boggs bats but wouldn't mind adding a Roger Clemens and a Tino Martinez bat to my lone Eddie Mathews Spline bat so Eddie stops feeling lonely and outnumbered 39 to 1.
