2022 Priorities

[wnp22]

Really hoping to run across some T210/T211/T213 Memphis cards this year. Was lucky enough to pick up a T211 earlier this year on here, but missed out on a few T210s and T213s at auction throughout the year (just bad timing for me).

I'm also hoping to start working on a mid-grade set of 1953 Bowman Color, add a few new T206 portraits (hopefully with a HOFer in the mix), as well as continuing to hunt down some modern projects I'm working on.

May 2022 bless us all with cardboard goodness.

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.

[Yoda]

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.

[jchcollins]

My main goal for '22 is to be a more focused collector, and to give in less to impulse / things that seem like a good idea at the time. For me this will mean continuing to chip away at '67 and '72 Topps sets. I would like to replace some of slabbed '67 high number SP's I sold with lower grade but presentable versions of the same cards. I need to do the same with my '69 Nolan Ryan.

[Jason]

To keep fighting the good fight and get a few steps closer on T209/T210. Maybe even finish one of the 4 remaining T210 Series I need still. Best of luck to everyone.

[Dead-Ball-Hitter]

Other posts have inspired me to focus more. Therefore I change my list to the following few:

1) A decent T206 Jimmy Collins (graded 2-5)
2) A decent T207 Duffy Lewis, graded or not
3) A decent M101-4 Joe Wood, graded 2-4

Feel free to message me if you possess one of these and want to talk sell/trade!

[EGreenwood]

My Top 5 (Net54 version) are:

1. T206 - Oscar Stanage (Tolstoi back)
2. T205 Oscar Stanage (Hindu back)
3. Tigers A.C. Dietsche Postcards Oscar Stanage
4. Diamond Stars Jimmie Foxx
5. Diamond Stars Hank Greenberg

My goal is to try to make progress on or finish some of the sets I'm currently working on without starting any new ones. I'm getting close on a lot of them, but I'm down to a lot of short prints and big stars.

T202 - 120/132
T205 - 201/221
1927 Exhibits - 53/64
1934 Goudeys - 78/96
1948/49 Leaf - 98/101
1951 Topps Connie Mack All-Stars - 8/11
1951 Topps Major League All-Stars - 1/8
1953 Canadian Exhibits - 125/128
1961 Post - 173/200
1963 Post - 183/209
1971 Topps Greatest Moments - 52/55

[3-2-count]

I would like to add a T206 Eddie Plank to my HOF portrait collection.

That’s it!

Jay, I'm in the same boat you're in, and thinking exactly like you. I have 20 different pre-war sets where I'm down to needing only three cards or less to complete them, and less than 10 cards to go on 8 more pre-war sets. And also like you, a lot of the still missing ones are the really rare cards, or the big stars.

My biggest problem is I'm also a bit of a type card collector as well, and always get distracted when something different or unusual pops up that I may not have seen in quite some time, if ever at all before. However, it does make it a blessing from the collecting standpoint in that no matter where or what show or AH sale/auction I go to or look at, I always seem to come across something I'm interested in. I guess that can also be looked at as a curse as well. LOL

1) Knock one Seattle Zeenut off my want list. Picked up one during 2021 (1933-36 Page). Currently have 244 and need 8:

1921 Adams, Lane, Stumpf
1926 Brady, Eldred, Hasty, Plummer, Ramsey

2) Add at least 25 T206


Andrew

[Leon]

I wouldn't mind grabbing another nice Goudey Ruth 144....
.

[Exhibitman]

I can add a few actual Hobby goals:

If the National happens and if these guys are there to sign, have these signed:




Trade into the last few T206 portraits I want (no, not Wagner and Plank, smartasses...exclusive of those two). I need a handful of the minor HOFers plus the Mathewson. Also be nice to score a T206 Speaker.

1933 Goudey Ruth #181.

[Natedog]

My goal for 2022 is to finally finish my 1939 Play Ball set. I am 7 cards short. I got all the HOF's already, so no big names left, but 6 of them are harder to find high #'s.

[Leon]

Another goal is to pick up a nice, big top bordered, T206 Cobb, Bat Off to complete the 4 Cobbs. But this one has proven elusive with a big top border and full other borders.

Adam, that Jabbar is really nice. Beauty !

Thanks; it is a UCLA team issue.

[ClementeFanOh]

1) a Cracker Jack Ed Cicotte

2) any T206 Carolina Bright- becuase I like the name

Trent King

[frankbmd]

Try to improve my reputation on Net54 by posting less drivel, but I will not try too hard.

[ClementeFanOh]

Frank- please don't stop, it's a much needed breath of fresh air- Trent King

[big-six]

Priority is the same as last year- Praying our Swinging Sixties submission gets done. Haha

[KMayUSA6060]

As always, the Hall of Fame project is my main focus. I have the remaining 70 broken down by "Tier" with Tier A being the most expensive/most difficult and Tier D being the most common/easiest.

Tier A: 18
Tier B: 16
Tier C: 7
Tier D: 29

2022 GOALS
Get to 290 Hall of Famers (49 remaining at that point)
Acquire 1 Tier A subject
Acquire 2 Tier B and/or Tier C subjects
Acquire 19 Tier D subjects
Add 1 Type Card to the Hall of Fame collection that I don't have already
Complete 10 Hall of Fame Classes (currently at 40 out of 81)

[cardsmemro]

Collecting one of every "T" card that features a Buffalo player. Have a couple down already, but still looking for more if anyone's selling!

[53toppscollector]

1. Finish my T206 Krause Portrait "non ultra-rare" back run. I need the EPDG, Sovereign and SweetCap 350/25.
2. Finish at least one other "common" back run from a list of like 7 or 8 players where I've got at least 3 or 4 already
3. Finish 4-5 of the Southern League portraits where I have 1 of the 2 (or 3) required
4. End the year with 200+ front/back combos, picking up cards I need that are reasonably priced (I may need to shift my definition of reasonably priced)

[bobcatfunds]

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

I'd like to add 3 more signed 1952 topps

Since every thread needs a card or a lot of small pieces of cards.

Ted and Dale I got this close. The artist just sent me a picture. I can't wait till next week to have it in hand so I can frame and display it.

[Tom S.]

I suppose that my pre-war White Sox wish list for 2022 would be:

1. Get to 250 front/back combos on my White Sox T206 master set (currently at 244)
2. Add a M101-6 (any Sox player)
3. Add a 1926 Exhibits (any Sox player)
4. Add a Novelty Cutlery PC of Walsh
5. Add a Wiliam Patterson (any Sox player)
6. Add a T204 Ramly John Anderson with a T.T.T. back
7. Add a $-on-Shield PC (any Sox player)

[samosa4u]

This year, I want to focus on areas in the hobby that I feel are overlooked at the moment and have great growth potential.
