- A Michael Jordan UD auto (couldn't do it)
- MJ Fleer rookie, graded <5 (nope)
- A nice laundry tag (nope)
- An NBA logoman (nada)
- A booklet of even higher quality than the one I currently possess. (nope)
Hmm...some of these goals should have been doable. Weird thing--I posted this in early April, and also became a member of Net54 in early April. I found that my collecting goals changed quite a bit! I was done with the fluctuating prices and inconsistencies with modern cards, so I shifted to vintage. Never looking back! Here are my biggest accomplishments 2016!
- First T206 purchased
- Completed my mini-set of the SL portraits I wanted
- Added a 'Stache to my collection!
In 2017, I hope to:
- Reach 12 HoF portraits (currently at 4)
- Finish my Johnny Kling back run (currently at 2/11)
- Complete a successful SGC submission
- Purchase a "rare back" (Hindu/Brights/BL)

A laundry tag!?!?! I am glad you changed course. Our collecting goals change as we learn more about this great hobby. In 2016, I sold off a few cards I simply lost interest in, and used the proceeds to focus on Ty Cobb. This coming year, I hope to continue to build on my early Cobb collection by adding a 1907 Wolverine News (batting) to complete my 1907 Cobb Post Card run. Would love to add another tough Cobb post card like a Detroit Free Press or a Rose.
