Continue the hunt for period cards/postcards of these "impossible" HOFers:

Execs
William Hulbert, Jacob Ruppert, Walter O'Malley, Lee MacPhail, Marvin Miller

Negro Leaguers
Frank Grant, Ben Taylor, Smokey Joe Williams, Joe Rogan, Cum Posey, Effa Manley

Also, looking forward to the HOF Era's Committee votes this coming December. (Rooting for Dahlen and Oms, as I already speculated and got 'em)!

For me:

Obtain t206 Young Portrait (any back)
Obtain t206 Speaker (non Piedmont or Sweet Cap back)
Finish the 1971 or 1972 Topps complete set
Decide if I want to make a run at completing the 1952 Topps set (Mantle excluded)

Or, if prices level out, scrap all that at get a 33 Goudey Ruth.
Starting to think about 2022 reminded me of this thread. How’d we do, gentlemen?

For me, I got the Young, got the Speaker albeit with a Piedmont back, finished the 71 and 72 sets, finished low number 52 Topps and picked up some highs as well, and I got my Ruth. Completely satisfied with 2021.

Based on the Goals I set in March of 2021 it looks like I exceeded my goals with 4 Adv Backs and 1 Card from each of his Ruths Early Year cards (did not specify how many or what years)
Then added some others so I am happy with the 2021 as it closes out.
Funny never thought to look back. Value on these threads We can.

2022 will be a slower year for me on cards but the focus continues relatively speaking (the change is any playing day cards of Joe Jackson and 1920's cards for Ruth)

Ooops, started listing my 2022 goals.

Accomplished one goal this year, I guess

Prices of cards in general have just gone nuts. Far outpacing my salary. So any six commons. And the first should arrive next Tuesday. So really down to five.
As of Monday of this week, number six of the year arrived. Missed another Tuesday that was a BIN on eBay that I could have afforded, but guess that would have been just greedy.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to everyone on Net54.

Didn't happen, so I will renew it for 2022.

EDIT: LOL, after posting I checked eBay and now own the T210 Morris card. Weirdly from a member that I offered the same amount to on here and never got a response. Now to get some more bats. :)
I got the Morris plus another T210 Ft Worth player(Coyle) so that was great. I looked and I added 10 Wade Boggs bats including a 1/1 All Star Game bat so I am very happy on there also.

I didn’t get there; I only picked up two. If I had gotten five that would’ve brought me to 263, so I’ll renew this one for next year.

1917 M101-6 Felix Mendelsohn
1920 W514 Mother’s Bread
1922 W501
1922 W575-1
I was happy to get the W501, still looking for the others. Happy Holidays to all and a Happy New Year!

Collecting is like a box of chocolates for me. I never know what I am going to get. No goals, just happily collecting cards I like.
