New goals replace old goals, whether the old ones are met or not.

It's all about the trip.

What is your collecting goal? No goal except to collect what I like when I see it.

Will you be able to achieve it? At times.

I'm not trying to be cute. I'm just being honest.

Not PreWWII, but I collect both vintage and modern Bob Gibson cards and memorabilia. Currently working on a complete PSA 7 Topps base run of his playing years (1959-1975). I currently have 8/17.

Here are 1960, 1961, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1967, and 1969. I have 1971 on the way.

I've been working on a Washington type set since the early 80s.

As with Ed, I don't know of everything that's out there, so I wouldn't ever know if I was "finished." The recent thread about the B-unc felts shows an example of something I didn't even know existed until I saw it.

Rarity enters into it; the Herpolsheimer's all appear to be unique, so unless I can get someone to break one loose then I'm without.

And finances are obviously a limitation. (Well, maybe not so obviously for someone who can plunk down money for a Plank.) In several pre-war issues the only Washington representative is Johnson, which cranks the price up to several times a common.

Then there are the issues where both rarity and price come in. L-1 leathers anyone?

It's a never-ending journey.

That explains why I never heard back from you back in June. You were down playing it by telling me you were buried with work...

Thanks for posting that classic Beach Boys song. Anyhow, my Daddy never "took my T-Bird away".....I didn't dare drive it like I was at the "Indy 500"





However, I revved-up my 1960 T-Bird (352 CID V-8, 300 HP) to 100+ MPH on the Garden State Pkwy some years ago.

Note the license plate on this one...."T206"






Incidently....what is my collecting goal........possibly completing my T206 all-SOVEREIGN master set.

In cards, a T4 of a Vancouver or Victoria player.

In memorabilia, a dust jacketed copy of Mathewson's Won in the Ninth or Chance's The Bride and the Pennant.

If I had unlimited resources I would collect game-used items from the Buxton Wonders, 1909-11 Chicago Giants and 1909-11 Kansas City,KS Giants. As-is, my goal is still to pick up something significant from each team, as well as original photographs. Might happen.
