Year in Review and Collecting Goals for 2017

bnorth · #1 12-15-2016, 04:45 PM

My main collecting goals for 2017 are:

Finally finish my 1955 Bowman set. My goal with this set is to buy/trade for every card from members on this forum. I am around 20 cards from finishing this goal.

Pick up some T210 Ft Worth cards to get closer to finishing the team set.

Greatly reduce the size of my collection. It has gotten beyond control over the years. I have 1 room in my house that has a walk path down the center and the rest is filled 2' deep in cards. I don't just have doubles or triples I have 40-50 of some cards.

Always one of my favorite threads to read through each year.

I don't think I set any goals for 2016, but I had a great year collecting wise.

1) Picked up a '33 Goudey Gehrig
2) Upgraded my Bond Bread set
3) Re-acquired my first ever Jackie Robinson card (1948 Leaf PSA 4)
4) Picked up a few very difficult Jackie Robinson cards that I've coveted for some time ('50 r423, '48 Old Gold Leaping)
5) Acquired 2 1948 Jackie Robinson signed checks, 1 signed MLK Jr. book, and a 2008 National Democratic Convention backstage pass signed by President Obama

I also made great progress on my research of the Bond Bread set.

Goals for 2017:

1) Buy a house
2) Finally write my article on the '47-49 Jackie Robinson Bond Bread set
3) Make more progress on my Jackie Robinson master set
4) Design some sort of baseball related app
5) Purchase one of the following:
a) 1921 e121 Babe Ruth
b) 1951 Bowman Whitey Ford
c) Babe Ruth check
d) signed Dodgers ball with Jackie Robinson
