I've been reflecting recently on 2016 as I'm sure many of you have. What football collecting goals did you meet this year and what are your goals for 2017?

Always interested in hearing what people are looking for. Perhaps we can help each other along the way.

I'm focusing hard on completing my run of mainstream, nationally distributed football cards produced between 1888 and 1988 ... 101 years of football cards! I need a couple hundred cards to finish this run up and hope to obtain them this year.

Also focusing on growing my Red Grange and Jim Thorpe collections.

Seeking anything from the 20's related to the Pottsville Maroons

And last but not least, some particular post-war cards that have eluded me:

1. 1950 Topps Felt Back Matthew (Brown color)
2. 1950 Bread for Energy Johnny Lujack (bread label)
3. 1948 Safe-T-Card Lou Gambino, Vic Turyn, Bob Waterfield
4. 1949 Sports Champion Exhibits (blue tints)
5. 1949 Leaf Football wrapper
6. 1955 Topps Football wrapper
