Peek into your collection/thoughts of 2015

x2drich2000 · #1 11-09-2014, 09:47 PM

I'm planning to continue to focus on the e92 Nadja set. I highly doubt I'll be able pick up even a quarter of the number of cards I did this year, so hopefully by the second half of the year I'll have enough saved to grab a big HOFer like Mathewson or one of the Wagners. Anyone have a lead on a very low grade one?

I'm going to kick 2015 in the nuts starting in about February or March. Assuming I don't do something stupid again, I'll be able to really hit my collection hard for the first time. And I am really looking forward to it.

After picking up this little guy I will certainly be looking to advance the name at top collection. I sit at 132 different examples and hope to add at least 30 next year. Thanks to everyone that has helped me so far. This wouldn't be possible without Net54 and people willing to part with these beauties.

Wow Doug, congrats! Got to hold that beauty at the National....dream card.

Hey Doug, so you're the one who got that split Young. Nice going.

MattyC · #7 11-11-2014, 01:54 PM

In 2015 I will continue hunting down exceptionally well-centered 1952 Topps Mantles. It's my favorite card and love the search for nice centering.

Beatles Guy · #8 11-11-2014, 01:55 PM

If I haven't gotten it already, I am going to seek out the final piece to my Cardinals team run (Topps & Bowman) from 1948-1985. That piece is the '48 Bowman Musial. It's hard to find that card nicely centered.

Besides that, pre-war type cards for my Cardinals collection.

I'll be looking to add a couple of new D-card types, a couple of new types from T213/T214/T215/T216 and a few more Polar Bears -- plus a couple of things I'm secretly collecting because I think they're undervalued.

Bill - I love your approach.

Thank you, Alex.

I have to admit, it's been incredibly difficult restraining myself, especially seeing all these great cards coming in. But it was necessary. I couldn't in good conscience spend a lot of money on baseball cards until I had my savings back to where I felt comfortable. I expect that by the end of January, or the end of February at the latest I'll have a full year's worth of bills and living expenses, plus my maximum out of pocket for my health insurance, set aside. Knowing that, I'll have no problem going after some of the bigger items on my want list. I'm keeping myself sane in the mean time making little purchases, mostly working on my 1975 set.

Doug-that Cy Young is unbelievable. Honestly, how many times a day are you looking at that thing?

kamikidEFFL · #12 11-10-2014, 09:18 PM

I agree with "Stache" how many times u look at that card. Love it

I love these types of threads as you really get to see there progress everyone is making with their collection. Personally, I've only added 1 e92 Nadja, Stone (green), which is probably the 2nd easiest card in the seat. I've also picked up an e92 Kleinow with a menagerie back to compliment the Nadjas and an e93 Plank (now just need to find a decent looking lower grade Cobb to complete the set).
