New Years Resolutions

[Anthony S.]

I'd like my Cy Young cards to lose weight.

. . . is to spend "smarter".

I am a pack rat by nature. Where one is great, two is super, and so on. But for every duplicate I squirrel away (I almost never part with duplicates), if I just parked that cash aside, I'd eventually end up with a nice stash inwhich to purchase something far nicer than any combination of dups. But fighting (my) human nature is a day-to-day challenge.

Break the obsession ... yeah, right ... who am I kidding.

2010 Goal - only 1 card... same as ever.

1. To post more on this forum.
2. To figure out how to be more effective in searching for cards on eBay.
3. To organize and enjoy the cards that I already own, and be less concerned that I'm not adding a new T206 to my collection every week.

Best wishes to all on achieving his or her goals in the coming year.

Stay focused! Pre-WWII Red Sox and N172 ONLY. I always seem to add something else to collect. In 2010, that stops.

My New Year's resolution is to attempt to get my collection back to where it was in 2006 and 2007. Unfortunately, I had to sell a good deal of it last year to help the family out. It's a shell of its former self......but hopefully, things will get better

To develop better focus since I am essentially a set collector. Quit straying in to sets which I have no chance of completing (that doesn't mean giving up the E94 master set however) I have enough of those with D311, 1911 Zeenut and T210.
Happy holidays everybody

As I may be buying a Dental Practice this year at some point I may be a bit shorter on cash, so it likely means I will have less to spend in the short term (but potentially more in the long run!). I am trying to stay good this year about just focusing on sets or projects I have already started.

Mainly...
-1911-23 Zeenuts (with the occasional 1924-38 pickup along the way.)
-Colgans (E254 & both E270 sets--I'd lke to knock 10-15 off the E254 wantlist this next year)
-E121-like cards (all backs, the wierder the better)
-Pre-1930 player pinbacks (especially Cameo Pepsin pins)

-Rhett

With regards to cards, I'd like to add at least one nice example of a catcher pose card from the following sets:

1909-1911 Obaks
1912 Home Run Kisses
1912 Zeenuts

I also hope to attend the Baltimore National since I haven't attended a National since Atlantic City was the host. The opportunity to maybe see a game at Camden Yards might be the motivation I need to do a road trip.

Does anyone know if the Orioles are home during the National?

Happy New Year to all!

Patrick,

National Convention is August 4th (Wed) through August 8th (Sun).

Orioles have home games August 3rd, 4th and 5th versus the Angels and then August 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th versus the White Sox.

Michael,

Thanks for the info!

Happy Holdiays!

Tell them to consider salad...

1. Bring my low grade SGC T206 collection to 98% with the acquisition of Kid Elberfeld - Portrait - Washington.

2. Study sets before I start collecting them. 1948 Leaf Football looked good, but is a pain to complete. (...but it led me to the 1948 Bowman Football, so all is well.)
