I have completed almost 50% of the 1956 Topps football set, so my goal is to continue to chip away. I hope to have 60-70% of the set by the end of 2016. I am also working on a baseball goal so I have to balance my efforts. Having multiple projects keeps me from getting bored.

Too many unfinished sets in my closet. Concentrating on '58 Topps and 62 Post Cereal, but not for a few months.
I've got a HUGE project early in the year that will take up most of my time. My first book, "Darkhorse: The Jimmy Claxton Story" will be available on ebooks January 18 (MLK Day), and in perfect bound form February 29. The culmination of five years of research on his exemplary 40 year baseball career. The 100 year anniversary of his integration of the PCL comes up May 28, 2016. Not technically football, but a decent section on his relationship with Hall of Famer, Marion Motley. Claxton coached Motley on the basketball court for the Reno Iron Men (1939-40), and both integrated the Verdi, Nevada baseball team in 1940. The two combined for 18 strikeouts versus the Nevada State Journal nine. They usually played for a segregated baseball team in the Reno area, named the Dixie Browns (1940-41). Lots more info available in the text..... Have a great 2016 everyone, and Happy Collecting!

I'm a little more boring that most. I just want to keep plugging away at my 1955 All-American set.

Oh, this could get long. But here is the short version I guess:
Finish my '74 thru '79 Topps hockey and football sets Finish my NRMT '71 Kellogg's baseball set, one card to go Finish my Unitas run of SGC graded major issue cards 1957-1974, again, one card away Begin '73 and prior football and hockey sets Get an SGC 6 1956 Topps Clemente
