What did you finish this year? And, collecting goals for 2012?

[zljones]

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

[darrend505]

Finished a 1972 Topps set and my 1954 Bowman set.

2012 goals, finish 1971 Topps, work on 1953 Topps and 1955 Topps Double Header.

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 didn't finish anything this year, but I added a few cards to my T210 Houston team set

My goal for this year is to finish the Houston set (Need Burch and Hornsby), add to my T210 Orange Border set, and pick up at least one really cool card like a E101 Cobb or a E90-1 Speaker or something like that.

I started the T206 set. Nothing special meaning I'm not collecting different backs, etc. (Eventually) I just want the set (minus 4) in nice presentable condition.

12 months ago, I never thought I'd be at about 93% of my T206 set. Many thanks to the several board members that have helped along the way. The last 7% won't likely be done in 2012 (too many big cards), but It'll be fun to try....

[HOF Yankees]

sets- work on 1956 Elvis Presley set

work on my Hall of Fame vintage stuff, Yankees memorabilia, and Elvis Presley aditions

[aljurgela]

Some significant progress on expanding my Punches and Campo Alegres.... but still have some significant holes...

I agree that having the holes is part of the fun.... always being on the "lookout"...

hope that it takes me 20 years to finish...

I try to get all the Yankees i can, and love to have ALL Yankees from as many old sets as i can. This month i got the last Play Ball Yankee i needed to have ALL the Yankees from all three Play Ball sets, 1939, 1940, and 1941. The card i got to complete my Yankee run was the 1940 Joe DiMaggio, see below:

Very Impressive Everyone! I'm in awe of everyone on the board's set collecting this year. It was really cool to read about the wide variety of cards in which our community collects! I can't believe how many of you are almost done with the "Monster"!

As for me, my main focus continues to be E98s. I have 100 out of the 120 for the Master Set. The problem for 2011 is that out of the 20 that I need, 6 of them are Cobbs, Wagners, and Youngs; so I know financially I wouldn't be able to complete this project even if they would come up for sale. I guess it is a good problem to have. I will have to branch out with my collecting since I'm at a point where the ones I need rarely come along for sale. Time to pick something new to work on!

Best wishes for a fantastic collecting New Year!

Well, as we close the book on 2012, I sit right at 95% done. I need 15 or so cards to get to 518, and then we shall see on the Polar Bear bros. I am down to needing to upgrade 8 cards to have all SGC 40 or better too. I did end up buying a few T207s, but I will probably end up dumping them. I think T207s will end up just too daunting. Been a great year working on the collection.

Best,

Andy

THats great Andy...15 freaggin more! I scrolled up and wish I had participated on this thread. Nice resurfacing of the thread...

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.
