added some SW figs

and had a lot of fun!

2018 will be here soon!

Happy Holidays and Happy Collecting!

Congrats! I really loved seeing your Lakes Aaron...one of the nicest I've seen. Missed the Ruth but wow!! And the nice thing about missing some goals is having some things left on the list for 2018!

I didn't post my goals back in January but had several...

1. 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth - NOPE
2. 1934 Goudey Lou Gehrig - NOPE
3. 1936 Canadian Goudey Gabby Hartnett - Yes! And I still can't believe how terrific it is.
4. Various Hank Aaron stuff I didn't have yet - Yes to 1964 Topps Stand Up! No to Lakes, Hires, Doubleheader, Deckle Edge
5. Any Isaac Newton cards I don't have - Picked up 3-4 this year.

Am getting to where the stuff I still need is pretty pricey. Am considering going for 1955T or 1958T Dodger team sets to go with my 1956/1957. Or maybe finish my Fleer Ted Williams set.

Since many (72) hi #s remain, my goal is to cut the overall 96 remaining down to 48 by this time next year. My other goal is to restrain from collecting other things until my 52 Topps set is done. The latter will be the hardest to achieve.

I just missed my first goal, I am now at 358/407 and need 49 more high #s. The low number portion of the set is complete. I still need a handful of RBor BB cards to have one of both. Minus about 75 33 Goudey cards I picked up this year, I nearly achieved my second goal.

For 2018, my first goal is to add 16-20 more 52 Hi#s, depending on who as I still need the JRob, Campy and Reese. If I add one of those, the goal will be 16, otherwise 20. While most of these 52 hi#s are available and can be easily found, it is more of a budgeting issue. My second goal will again be to only use my collecting budget on the 52s I need to finish my set.

Tried to grind out the last cards I needed to complete the 1967 Topps Venezuelan MLB set. Now at 113/150. That goal will continue into next year. 37 left to go.
