2014 post-war collecting goals ?

[MBMiller25]

2013- I didnt set any goals for 2013 as I was out of collecting this time last year, for the most part. I obviously got back into and acquired cards I like from the big names in Post War (Mantle, Mays, Aaron and Clemente) in as high grade as I could afford.

2014- I am down to just a few more Post War Rookies that I need and would like to add the rookie cards of the following: 51 Bowman Willie Mays, 48 Leaf Jackie Robinson, 54 Topps Ernie Banks, 55 Topps Koufax, 68 Topps Nolan Ryan, 68 Topps Johnny Bench and 62 Topps Lou Brock. Very doubtful that I acquire all of those cards next year, but assuming I did, I will turn my attention to Pre-War cards going forward with the following on my radar: 39 PB Williams RC, 33 Goudey Ruth #144 and #149, T206 Cobb Bat OFF, T206 Young Throwing, T206 Walter Johnson, T206 Cobb Green Portrait.

In reality that is probably my collecting goal for the next 5 years.

I made great progress in 2013 on my Topps/Bowman Cardinals team run from 1948-1980. I hope to wrap it up in 2014, I'm down below 15 cards, though most of them are Hi numbers and big names (Musial, Slaughter, etc).

New guy here, started collecting in October of 2013. So far I have been collecting HOFers from the 50s and 60s that are PSA graded. I felt this was the best way to avoid being ripped off since I'm new.

With the help of some great folks on here I have started exploring some raw cards and even purchased a few 1953 Bowman raws (waiting on them to arrive). I ordered a 10x Loupe and and halogen desk lamp.

My goals for 2014 are to learn more about raw cards, continue to purchase them and get a better understanding of evaluating raw cards.

Your heading into the same battlefield i been in the last several months.
I been placing bids anywhere and everywhere for nice:
51 Bowman Mays RC, 54 Hank Aaron RC, Clemente RC, 52 Pafko #1 and placed a few pre-war bids on Cobb/Ruth and last night a Wagner.
Sometimes i venture into football RC's, i like to add a nice Ditka RC, Landry/Gifford RCs

2013-- i vastly collected a bunch of Mantles (main focus) at the end i finally got my 52 RC. My list is about done.. Selling off the other regular issues to make room for newer additions.
In all. i got some nice cards and helped out some individuals on the board.

I'll be upgrading a few 60's Mets cards, knocking at least one or two remaining cards off the Topps type run and adding more Topps corporate items to the collection. Beyond baseball I plan to work on my '49 Topps Flags and License Plate sets, Bowman NY Football Giants team set and the Wild Man and Wild West sets. I think that's about it.

Finish my 1959, 1960, 1962, and 1968 Yankees Team Sets and add some HOF rookies to the collection
