Im curious to hear what your hobby dreams are. Some holy grail, someplace u'd like to go, meet a player, etc.
Mine is to get an autograph of Ruth, Gehrig or Jackie Also, be able to go to a National or big show again. Life hasn't been kind to me for the last several years What about you guys?

My hobby dream would be a signed 1963 Fleer Roberto Clemente. It is the only card from the set that I don't have a signed version of. Given that the last one that came to auction sold for over $10K, it will remain a dream. |

Personally, I would like to complete the half dozen runs I've started.
I'd also like to see prices come down a bit so more collectors could enjoy this great hobby of ours. Last edited by Casey2296; 07-16-2023 at 03:03 PM. |

Hi all,
My dream is really simple. I'm a lifelong Yankees fan so my dream is simple. 3 cards. 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle To commemorate the 1961 Maris 61 in '61; 1961 Topps Mickey Mantle and 1961 Roger Maris. 1961 was the year which started my lifelong journey with cards and memorabilia of the Yanks.

My hobby dream is to be able to buy my own personal "white whale" cards at the National, at a price I'm comfortable with. "Comfortable" at my stage of collecting means at a cost that, should I die shortly after the purchase and my family finds the need to sell the card immediately to pay for my lavish funeral expenses (hey, I want a party!!), can be re-couped within perhaps 5-10%.

Baseball been berry, berry good to me. I was lucky to pick up a nice collection of cards back in the days when the hobby was relatively affordable. There are a few cards I regret not to have jumped on when I could but I can't complain. The past three years have been hellish for me. Have been my poor wife's caregiver whilst the pandemic raged. It has taken quite a toll on my health and my disposition. Our collecting community, the friendships, the cards, the general hobby brouhaha, have been an anchor. My greatest hobby wish would be to attend another National so as to shake the hands of my baseball buddies one more time. Not viable this summer but maybe someday.

Will I have to wait another 36 years for my Bo Jackson rookie cards to peak in value?
