If I can add a playing days non-strip Ruth card, it will be a good year

2024 will be an interesting year.

It certainly depends on how my finances play out the rest of the year, as I may enter the year holding off on purchasing cards for a few months.

I am thinking at the beginning of the year selling off my T206 commons to get a nice 1.5 or 2 Matty white cap.

I think if I can do that, it would help give me the satisfaction of cards next year without spending much additionally.

That and add a couple of 56 topps HOF�ers. And add a 1910 national national licorice track athlete, to start that collection!

Most of all, enjoy some new friendships within the hobby and the n54 community!

I assume that his reprint card will also start to garner interest, for various legit and nefarious reasons.

Been trying to to get a ole time collector to let loose of a few pieces of Gold--Red Heart Dog food set, Dan-Dee set, etc.--his hoard of 60 years is so intensive his whole house in down to little single file paths--yep little paths--he probably wont sell but might trade me for a Win Wilfong or a few other tough Hawks autos on index cards he needs--Ill keep trying in 2024--

Hope to add the last few cards to finish my Mays Topps master set.

Just be grateful that PSA moved the dice game to the optional category a couple of years ago. Up until then, it was a real beast to complete.

Agree100%, I have a poor man�s Mays collection compared to your registry but keep plugging away. Good luck with your last couple of cards.

I will continue to focus my collection, trying to complete various sets i am close on. I need:

One card for T3 (there were a few set breaks 4-5 years ago and they have dried up since, the card isnt that difficult but need a consistent grade for set)
Three cards for 41 Playball (not hard, but commons not that valuable and not that easy to locate in my grade either because people dont bother)
Three cards for N162 (full set, not just baseball)
One card for T227 (and maybe a few upgrades here, nice ones are Tough)
Two cards (well, 1 but i checked one off i cant find again yet�been moving around) for Hockey C56 and 6 cards for a C57 set
Continue selling more random things i have collected to have more focus as some projects have just become more expensive than i care to do now
Find a nice 52T and 53T Mays now that they have seemingly calmed down somewhat..almost pulled the trigger recently
And a 1934 ACE jersey from the first NHL all star game (anyone have one?!)

Potential to build more of sets that i have a decent start on: E90-1, T213-2, 38 Goudey (not hard to find, just not sure what i want to do here yet), need a good starter lot on these perhaps

Had a bit of a detour this year into modern graded cards to get guys like Ichiro, Kershaw, Pujols, Scherzer, Verlander, etc while I still can. Turns out they are cheaper now than when I bought them earlier this year.

For 2024 I’ll be back to my various collections as follows.

- Bob Feller cards and collectibles - need mostly rare stuff, but still missing a few easier items but in nicer condition. Still finding stuff I’ve never seen before as well, just less often.

- First Cleveland Baseball Card or Collectible (earliest item of every player, coach, manager, GM, Owner, etc. to play for CLE, all eras). Still looking for nearly 1/3rd of the historic all time roster.

- Cleveland Baseball Type Cards - will continue chipping away at type cards depicting a CLE player. Priority for rare / unusual stuff when it comes up for sale

- Baseball Star & HOFer Magazines - added a handful of nice mags this year, looking to build on this next year

- Baseball Star & HOFer Pinbacks. - also expanded this collection in 2023; looking to target specific pins in 2024

- Baseball Team Postcards - new collection this year, really still dabbling. Picking up nice examples of team photo postcards and exhibits with team photos. Have a handful and looking to add some nice ones in 2024.
