It's that time again: what are your goals for 2012

[hcv123]

As the focus of my collecting has been Roberto Clemente and I have almost everything I know exists, collecting has gottne a bit boring. That said there are those couple of things I need and hope as for years past that this will be the year I find them:

1960 Complete Bazooka box with Clemente
1958 Kahns mid grade Clemente
1960 Harmony Milk 8x10
Any Clemente item that I don't know exists

So - anyone out there want to help get 2012 started early?

In the meantime I have started collecting some Venezuelan Superstars and wouldn't mind adding a few in 2012 including:

1959 - Mantle, Koufax
1964 - Yaz, Mantle, Rose, Aaron
1966 - Mays
1967 - Clemente, Rose, Yaz
1968 - Clemente, Ryan, Bench, Rose, Seaver, Carew
1972 - Rose, Bench

Howard:

I have been searching for an original 1952-53 Santurce premium composite photo picturing Clemente. Would you happen to have that one?

Since I started back into collecting last November, I came into 2011 without any goals. I did manage to find my niche and managed to complete several sets: 1974, 1977, and 1978. Going into 2012, I'd like to finish at least 4 of the 6 sets I have active and consider achievable:

1971 Topps - I am basically down to the high number series.
1976 Topps
2004 Fleer Greats of the Game - I have the base set. I just need to complete the insert series. I may try and get a few more of the autos, but it isn't anything I intend to actively work on.
2001, 2002, 2011 Topps Heritage

I'd also like to continue making progress on two sets that I consider long term projects:

- Mid quality 1956 Topps
- NRMT 1963 Fleer

I also have set what I would consider negative goals:

- Do not buy any 2012 products, except Heritage.
- Start fewer sets than I complete.
