I've decided to take the All the Cubs things serious and acquire a baseball card for every Cub/Orphan/Colt/White Stocking that's ever played, 1870-present. I know 100% is impossible. There are some 19th century guys I already know have nothing to collect, and possibly many others throughout Cubs history. I'm starting with completing the entire Topps run. I'm 100% from 1976-2023 but still some work to do 1952-1975. Then I'll complete the Cubs sets from all the major pre-war releases and see where I'm at.

This year I decided to focus my collection from acquiring random cool stuff to a player PC of Hooks Wiltse, given my hometown connection to him. It's made collecting much more enjoyable trying to hunt down cool pieces for a single player. Next year, I've decided to expand my player PC to another central NYer, "Silent" George Burns, and the goal will be to continue finding cards for him.
And because every thread needs a card: |

Each year I try to fill at least one spot from my collections of A) Louisiana types, B) bakery types, & C) rare backs, so those will continue to be priorities. Otherwise, I'll keep plugging away at a few sets and at my multisport rookie card collection. I don't anticipate my focus will change much over the next year.

I see myself adding to my Mantle's. Going to explore more alternative issues of his, and potentially try to see if I can add a 1953 Topps. While not a card, I'm going to shoot to add a nice signed Baseball of his as well.
I've been wanting to dip more into prewar as well. Maybe Ted Williams or Jimmie Foxx, or Eddie Collins. Not quite sure just yet. Have to figure out some collecting goals.

Stagnation for the most part. I may wind up downsizing some of my ‘near’ sets that I have 0% chance of completing. Any additions will probably be the occasional 19th century piece or some missing type cards

Stagnation for me as well. The stuff I want to buy is too expensive and the stuff I have that's worth a lot I don't want to sell.

Continue working on my T205/T206(T213/T214/T215)/T207 WaJo back runs. Would love to add another Pop Lloyd and/or either a Dobie Moore or Oliver Marcell card to my collection.
Thanks Chad

Im going to try and finish off the t206 VA SLers sub set, T210 Rva Colts team set and T206 Senators Team sets that im 90% of the way done with. I want to also try and finish off my 56 Topps set as it's just commons left now. The big collection change that I've made is diving head first in to pre war cards of guys who played in DC. Any and all players from all sets. I'm gonna stay away from the 1800s stuff for now as I don't wanna get spread too thin.
Definitely looking forward to what comes in the new year for sure

This for me as well. I imagine I'll sell a few pieces in case something I really want pops up.
