How was 2007 for each of your collections? Did your collections grow or shrink?

Patrick:

I don't keep nearly as good records as you do. I also, based upon what you bought in 2007, don't have nearly as nice a collection as you

I made the decision to concentrate on a few, specific areas and in Pre-War it was mostly T206 and old Dodgers/Robins/Superbas cards. I'm happy how the T206 set progressed this year, started with 1 card and now have 38. The goal for 2008 is to get to 100.

I dont keep an exact list of transactions like Patrick but I know I got 27 Old Judge cards this year with Anson and Delahanty being the best names but far from the nicest. I also bought a 34 Goudey Chick Hafey and an e120 Bill Wambsganns but besides that I cant think of another pre-war card but there was probably something else. Havent sold or traded anything in years
