Did you meet or beat your 2012 goals?

I remembered a post from late last year about collecting goals for the year: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...ght=2012+goals

Mine were:

Well, I got to 60% so I'm definitely happy. How did you do?

Good question. I definitely added way more than I should have to my collection.

I agree with Leon. I finished my T206s (520) and have made great progress in getting them out of the really, really low grade range. I have yet to define my next real challenge and honestly am stepping back to see what it really should be. I guess, truth be told, I might look to thin my collection next year and start the Magie fund.

Hey if you start thinning that collection bb, we've done nice business in the past.

My 2012 was basically the start of all this craziness. Glad to have joined and glad to have found this board and reclaimed my joy and happiness with card collecting again which was gone for so long.

Here is most of my post from last year:

Also venturing down the path of pre-war type cards. Still in the wandering around phase on that.

Everyone have a great Holiday Season!

Success:
I got to 519 t206's (can't believe I only added 3 new t206's to my collection this year), completed t205 hofers (no variations), now have all 4 Ruths, and picked up a t206 Demmitt stl.

Pre-war type cards: I guess this goes under "success" - Defined a target, made a lot of progress, re-defined my target, sold some cards, come to think of it, I'm probably still wandering around a bit here! I guess that's one of the beauties of type collecting.

Not yet: still need 3 e120 hofers, still waiting for the right O'Hara stl

Looks like I stuck to this, focused on the errors and a few rarebacks.

649 subset and back run completed. Focusing on errors in the new year.

I wasn't a member of the board to announce them but my goals where to:
1 Collect what ever I found that gave me the warm n' fuzzies...
2 Make a real dent in the T206 chase. I have added 105 so far in 2012
3 Soak up as much of Net 54 goodness (once I joined) as possible
4 Sucessfully slide 12 credit card statements past the wife without ending up in Divorce Court.

I am happy to say that I am 4 for 4.

I finished my T206 set (518/518) and my W512 baseball series set.

I also started a T206 Hindu Southern League subset, a T207 HOF subset and kinda sorta started a HOF set.

I wrote: "No plans for the future; what I collect is too odd to plan on. If it surfaces, it surfaces."

I fulfilled those expectations.
