Football Collecting Goals for 2017

[todddds]

Finish my 1976 Fleer set. Only need 4 more. 28, 30, 33, 57.
Start on 1975 Topps and 1980 Topps sets.

I recently purchased a complete mid-grade '65 Topps FB Tallboy set...all SGC graded. Never thought I would own that set! It is one of my all time favorites.

I also purchased a relatively high grade '66 Topps FB partial set, which is 23 commons shy of completion. The one football card goal that I have for 2017 for sure is to finish off this set. It will also be an all graded set. I have 5 cards that I need to send in to SGC and a few PSA slabs that are probably going to get cracked at some point so that those cards can go to SGC for an all SGC set like the '65.

Other than that, I might dive into another 60s FB set. I have several candidates in mind.

edited to add: I also will do some upgrading to my '69 Topps set.

Hi everyone - I love reading these forums, but since I'm primarily a schedule collector, I rarely post.

Still, one of my main sked interests is vintage college football. So, since my heart's with you guys in the Football Cards Forum, I figured I'd toss in my goals as well!

I'm hoping to cross a few more years off my wantlist (all years up to the present, but especially pre-1930) for football schedules for the following schools:

Amherst
Army
Dartmouth
Harvard
Michigan
Middlebury
Notre Dame
Princeton
Williams
Yale

(There are about a dozen other schools I collect too, but those 9 are my top priorities.)

Happy new year to all!
Dan

Dan, my sales territory includes Hanover NH, so I'll keep my eyes out for Dartmouth schedules.

Dan please post some of your old skeds, I think everyone would enjoy them, I know I would!

Building off of last year's goals, here are my football collecting goals for 2017.

- Pickup 3 more football HOF Rookie cards, 1 of them will be the 1958 Topps Jim Brown
- Pickup at least 20 new additions to my Buffalo Bills team sets on the PSA Registry (currently 348/460)
- Upgrade 1 item in my All Time Buffalo Bills PSA Set Registry set
- Obtain 2 Joe Ferguson (Bills QB) special card collectibles, preferably unopened packs with him showing on top or Topps Vault type items
- Work on a 2017 football set with my young son - this is my most important goal!

I'm going to start selling my 1955 Topps AA set if anyone is interested in some higher grade '55s (PSA 8-9).

I don't have all the prices listed on the PSA site, but send me a note if you see one you would like a price or picture of.

Are you pricing them all on your registry page, Scott?

Thanks for the requests, guys - you prompted me to get my act together and actually photograph some of my sked collection. I started a new "Football schedules" thread in this forum with some of the pics.
