2012 was my first year collecting pre-war. I have way too many interests for my wallet, but what else is new. Since I can't seem to give anything up at this point, I will focus on a little more of everything.
1. Three cards to complete the 1935 Goudey (short set of 36). 2. Pick up 10 t201 in grades SGC 80 or higher toward set completion. 3. Get the monster number over 300 (255 at present). 4. T206 Elberfield, graded. Outbid four times this year! 5. Add two of the four HOFer Cobb, Matty, Johnson, Young toward t206 HOF master set. 6. Avoid starting another set, wish me luck on this one, esp. e90-1, e91c, e95... |

My 2013 goals will be:
> trim the fat (xtra cards that don't fit my collection) > trim the fat (from the belly) > take a short "holiday" from collecting to enjoy the birth of my first child in April (assuming all goes as projected) > buy only one or two *significant* cards missing from my HOF "rookie" collection and avoid falling into the trap of buying cards that only marginally fit my collection > avoid the temptation to buy cards that I already own because the price looks "too good" and because I assume I will somehow be able to resell for more > remind myself daily that I am NOT a card dealer, I am a card COLLECTOR!
