Havent seen a thread like this... as holiday shopping for friends and family has killed the rest of my 2016 budget I thought I would share a year in review and 2017 collecting goals... would love to see and hear yours.

First of all, this is my first active year on Net54 so I wanted to thank all of you. A great group who consistently shares their knowledge for the betterment of our community. I use to be the guy who collected shinny Bowman rc's and drooled over manufactured scarcity like gold refactors. About 16 months ago I liquidated my collection of Bowman autos and got into Vintage and HOF autos... I havent looked back yet!!!!

Below are my top 5 picks ups from 2016

1) 1932 World Series - Game 3 (Ruth called shot) - PSA 3
2) T3 Turkey Ty Cobb - PSA 1
3) 1914 Cracker Jack Honus Wagner - SGC 10
4) Jackie Robinson signed postcard - PSA/DNA
5) 1956 Topps Hank Aaron - PSA 8


Below are my top collecting goals for 2017

1) Finish my 1941 Play Ball PSA 6 set for my son Parker (I am 60/72 complete)
2) Get to 50% on my 1956 Topps HOF PSA 8 set for my son Becker (I am only 1/32)
3) Purchase 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #144 PSA 3
4) Purchase 1954 Topps Hank Aaron (looking for a PSA 5)
5) Purchase a LOW grade 1911 Sporting Life Cabitnets Honus Wagner (M110)
6) Catalog my collection
7) Figure out my storage situation... with continued big cards will either need a safe or safe deposit box.

Would love to hear your year in review and 2017 collecting goals.

Thanks and Merry Christmas
