Default 2011

2011 was my first year for collecting pre-war cards. As the year progressed I developed a modest goal of picking up a pre-war HOFer at a one per month average for less than 20 bucks average. I am pleased with how the year has gone. Net54 has been a lot of fun and a huge education for me.

I plan on keeping my one per month goal for pre-war in 2012, and possibly working on a Redman and/or Auravision set as well.

Got closer in my E121 1921 world series set. Still a work in progress. Also upgraded a few cards in the collection. Goals, work on the E121-80 part of the set.

Completed a 1933-1989 HOF low grade rookie card collection excluding Satchel Paige because they are too rare and expensive. And any others that were not rookie cards of actual rookie players, like 1948 Ralph Kiner, Stan Musial as an example.

Completed HOF T205 collection low grade

Started working on my N162 HOF collection low grade got Dan Brouthers and Cap Anson still need King Kelly and Keefe. But for now too broke

For 2012, if I can, try finishing my N162 HOF collection, but may end up not collecting for 2012 and catch up on the bills I racked up this year

Default What I finished...

I finished deciding what I was going to collect

After two reboots in the last 18 months, I decided to go for an SGC 40 T206 set (minus big four). For 2012 I hope to get to the 50% mark.

2011 was also my first year collecting any card.

649 subset and back run completed. Focusing on errors in the new year.

Jees...That's a pretty successful 'rookie season'. Nicely done!

I was hoping to get to 75% on my go at the T206 "set" this year. I am a card or two away from 80% which I am pretty happy about. I'm doing it in SGC 40-50 primarily and have about 15 cards I need to upgrade to at least 40. I would like to get to 95% or so in 2012. I find T207 very intriguing and would like to pick up a few of those here and there in the meanwhile. May everybody meet their collecting goals in 2012!

Happy Holidays!

Andy

I took several months off from collecting and only managed to finish the 1967 Topps All Star Rookie cards from that set.

In 2012 I would like to complete the 1967 Topps Football set, I have five cards to go.

I would also like to collect and complete the 1961 Topps Baseball All Star Rookies from that set as well as continue to collect any Topps Ron Santo and Billy Williams cards from 1961 -1970.

Same here.

My focus has shifted to a set that the voices in my head have been telling me to go back to since I stopped working on it three years ago. In 2012, I am going to work on the T210 set. For the time being, I am going to go after one card per team.
