2022 Priorities

[Cmvorce]

As we wrap up 2021, I’m starting to think about 2022 and what’s on the top of my priority list. Wondering what you’ll all be going after in the new year. My top priorities:

N28 King Kelly
A T206 team set (leaning towards the Browns)
33 Goudey Hack Wilson
5 high numbers from 52 Topps
Complete the 55 Topps set (already have the big boys, but no commons or minor stars)

Should be a fun ride. Happy hunting, everyone.

My 2022 priorities are slightly different in nature

Priority 1 is to pay down debt and regroup the finances from over buying in 2021.
There were so many cards that came up that I do not normally get to see or purchase that I was afraid if I did not pick them up I may not get a chance at them.
Priority 2 is continue my run on Joe Jackson playing day cards, postcards,etc
Priority 3 is slow strategic growth of early playing day Ruth Cards focusing on the early 1920’s (approx 1920 thru 1926)
Priority 4 control my overall addiction to cards and auctions

I'm with you on #4, Jeff!

Just play it as it lays. But an H566 Royal Glue Sullivan would be a nice thing to find.

[Natswin2019]

I completed most of my goals from last year which im pretty happy about. For this year I'd love to get to

1. Finish my 55 topps set ( down to 34 left, Ill probably get them all minus the Clemente rookie unless my finances change)
2. Finish my 50 Bowman set ( down to about a quarter of the set left)
3. Grab all the Virginia based t206 Southern leaguers
4. Pick up more T-210 Richmond Colts
5. Get more prewar RVA based items
6. Pick up a Tinker,Evers, Chance T202

In additon to these ill also just keep adding cards I think are cool and neat

[Bobbycee]

Jumping on a Cobb Bat Off in a PSA 4, if one ever comes up at a reasonable price.

[Luke]

I always try to stay flexible enough to take the opportunities that present themselves rather than have a set plan. But there are a few things I hope will happen in 2022:

1. Add 2 or 3 T206 HOFers with rare backs
2. Add 5 or so HOFers to my Worch Cigar stash
3. Add 15 or so cards to my 1936 WWG set
4. Find another 1924 Diaz HOFer
5. Find a T207 Napoleon Speaker

[rjackson44]

So I can buy high end zion cards ooops sorry

I've always wanted that card and have never picked one up. GOod luck with your search.

[ullmandds]

Continue to add to my Ruth/Cobb collection, Yankee binders...and hoping to someday obtain the last t216 Kotton Dots Miller I need to complete my run.

I like nice pricey things just as much as the next collector, but one thing I learned this year is that I've made a few $100 and less purchases of unique interesting things that I enjoyed more over time than $15,000 + high end purchases. Find cool stuff that piques your interest as a fan, use it to learn more about some obscure baseball corner of the universe . . . . .don't get any better than that.

Solid advice, Steve, I'm going to try this

[taul166]

Figure out what my priorities are.....all of these partial sets I have and am building are driving me crazy.

I probably spent more in 2021 than I had in every other year of my collecting history combined. And while I don’t regret it, I certainly can’t do that again. Some of the most expensive things I bought weren’t even on my radar coming into the year. I’m looking directly at you on that one, Jeff.

Well said, Jeff. This is me in a nutshell. I'll be looking to finish my T3 set as I can, but otherwise heading into a 2022 collecting hibernation. At least that's what I plan to do, addiction notwithstanding

EDIT: Oh, and waiting for SGC to open grading at $10 or less per card. I acknowledge that I may be waiting forever

[joejo20]

I collect Lou Criger cards and my 2022 Collecting goals/wantlist:

PC743 Bregstone PC

Rose Co. PC

M101-1

S74 Silk

T205 Rare Backs

This should be tough but will be fun searching. Joe

I can fix you up with the Bregstone. PM me and we can go from there.

Only on this sub, very nice gesture David.

[Casey2296]

I was curious so I looked back on what I posted for the 2021 thread back in February. This was my list back then and what I was able to cross off. The two on top are just a dream so I can't count those.

E224 Walter Johnson
M131 Cobb
14CJ Cobb
51B Mantle
21 Exhibits Ruth
33G Ruth #181
PC796 Cobb/Wagner
PC796 Speaker
PC796 Johnson

This years goal is to complete my E98 Master Set and E94 set, complete my 14CJ list and pick up some other e-cards on my want list.

[fisherboy7]

Would love to add a e107 HOFer that I don’t have this year. At this point I’m happy adding one per year to my collection!

2. Finishing my 1938 Goudey set:

3. 19th Century baseball
4. Low(ish) grade Jackie player run
5. Player run of common T206 backs from Cobb, Johnson, Matty, Young, Nap, and Speaker. Probably low grade.

One thing I will likely do is go back and re-start my collection of ballplayers who served in the military. About 10 years ago I contacted the HoF and they sent me a spreadsheet of every player they had on record as serving, for every branch, and what war they were in. Then I got out of the hobby a couple of years later and after that, my computer crashed so I lost the spreadsheet.

Other than that I'll likely pick up a few more T206 HoF portraits and some other random vintage stuff that catches my eye.

[MuncieNolePAZ]

One or more of these.
1. T206 WaJo Portrait Brown Hindu
2. T206 WaJo Pitching American Beauty
3. T206 WaJo Pitching Cycle 460

Chad

[Oscar_Stanage]

1) Cobb Bat-on
2) Walter Johnson throwing
3) 5-10 other non-big 6 HoFers (Mordecai, Evers, Chance, etc)
4) Attend the convention for the 1st time, hopefully sell/trade some cards there and get some autographs

Sorry, Ben. Just seeing this now.

I just purchased an Ebba St. Clair yesterday (not in hand yet) so I'm down to 13 already.

I have been after a 1915 Cracker Jack Cobb since the Biblical Flood. The '14 is just out of my price range at the moment, so my quest is limited to the '15. I have been the underbidder for one in 4 auctions in the past 2 years. I don't know if it will take a home equity loan, selling my beloved Mustang or setting up a Taco stand, but I am going to get one, hopefully an SGC 2-4.

I am starting a "Nate Colbert Home Run Ticket" collection.
