Well done, and good luck!

Best of luck for 2012! On the plus side, the T207 Brooklyn subset is by no means one of the hardest team sets - except for one or two semi-tough Recruits, they're straightforward. They've all been on eBay this month - most of the 12 still are. -- Mike

This year I continued the hunt for the Monster. I have close to 200 cards so far. I picked up a lot of HOFers and got good deals on graded commons at a number of shows. My set is lower grade, so the cost was rather reasonable.
I did acquire a number of "iconic" cards that I have wanted for some time: three Goudey Gehrigs, a Wagner (not T206!) two non-T-206 Planks, a '53 Mantle (just love the look of that card), and a few other random HOFers in different sets. This year I will continue to focus on hunting the Monster and working on a 1934 Goudey set, which I am about 16 cards in.

I didn't finish anything in 2011. I am 2/3 of the way to completing my 34 Goudey set. This year I would love to finish the set and pick up some random pre war HOF's.

The only thing I completely finished is a 52 bowman set.
I got within 2 of 518 t206's. Within 2 of t205 hofer subset. Within 5 of e120 hofer subset. Within 5 of 33 goudey hofer subset. In 2012 I hope to finish 518 t206's, t205 hofers, get within 1 on the e120's, and pick up another 33 goudey Ruth if one falls into my price range. I'll be on the look out for a Demmitt and Ohara PB and will pick one up if the stars align. Also venturing down the path of pre-war type cards. Still in the wandering around phase on that. Everyone have a great Holiday Season! |

"What did I finish... nuttin'
What are my goals for 2012... to continue down my current collecting path... and lose a few pounds." +1...I'm totally with you Alan!!!!!!! I sold off my rarest and most valuable T206's in 2011...with the intention of eventually getting rid of all of them...started the e94 set...only 3 cards away...and picked up a bunch of cards I really love! |

collecting
I have three collections that I am currently putting together:
T206's, T201's, and a Mantle type run from '51-69. I first started collecting vintage in 2011 when I purchased a T206 Steamer Flanagan for a good price on New Year's day. I am currently 20% complete on the T206's, only 11% complete on the T201's and I have a decent stash of Mantles, but am still missing the '51, 52 and '53 among a few others. I am also collecting the oddities of Mantle during those years as well. As for 2012, I hope to pick up a few more Mantles, add to my T206 and T201 set (don't really have a percentage or number of additions, but just want to continue to add as I see fit). Happy collecting everyone and have a great holiday season!

Finished the 41 Double Play (need to do the same with the blog).
I think I can finish the base set of T206s in 2012...May wait on Ohara, Demmett variations...then the upgrading can begin (and it will be a lifetime chore). I hope to complete and begin marketing a new product for low grade t card collectors. And I hope to start a 1961 Topps set. |
