I was lucky enough to complete the 1955 Spic & span, 1941 Playball in 2008. I would like to complete a 1952 coca-cola playing tips set in 2009. Have a Happy New Year. Marc

I only completed a couple HOF subsets in 2008. I'm working on THE MONSTER (73% complete/PSA 4-6), 1941 Play Ball (90% complete/PSA 6-8), and 1952 Bowman (84% complete/PSA 8-9). I hope to polish off the '41 Play Ball and '52 Bowman sets in 2009........THE MONSTER is another story. I hope I live long enough to amass all the T206's except for the BIG FOUR. It's been fun.

Thanks Phil. I'm actually quite content with the cards that I have already acquired and will unlikely try to upgrade any. I've never been very concerned with condition, as long as the card appeals to me and fits into my collection goals. I suppose one of the nice things about being a HOF collector, is that you are never really finished - there will always be new inductees to go after, and quite possibly very challenging ones at that!

This year I completed the only set I was working on -- R306 Butter Creams -- minus the near-impossible Babe Ruth. Shortly after landing the 29th card to complete the mission, I decided to try to put together a master set: each card with a Sept. 1st and Oct. 1 back. So far that goal stands at 43 of 58 cards.

As for 2009, in addition to the Butter Creams, I'll continue to try to add to my Nap Lajoie/Cleveland collection. Not really a set per se, but fun nonetheless.

Good luck to all of you in '09.

Rob
