Collecting Goals, YOY

[T206Collector]

2018 was a total disaster for my collection. My goal has always been to get to 50 unique signed poses of T206 cards. Heading into 2017, I was at 44. All I said was...

In May, I had my "one signed T206 pose" that I didn't already own -- this "Doc" White from the Steiner Auction of Tom Marsilio's TTM autograph collection:



But, of course, the year didn't end -- and my collection took a massive hit when unsigned versions of 4 of those poses were discovered by Manny and the rest of the Net54 investigation team. So, I'm back down to 41.

But I haven't given up hope! For next year, I repeat my standard line...

2019 will be a wild success if I can add just one signed T206 pose that I don’t already own to my collection.

2018 was ok for me...unfortunately I was not able to add any new Dots Millers to my run...but I was able to finally complete my e94 murray color run...and I added maybe 7 babe ruth cards to my collection.

2019 Goals- finishing a few sets

Find the last 2 #%$&* E91a's that I need, Bender and Oldring
'34-'36 Diamond Stars- upgrading about a dozen
'51 Redback panel with Feller/Holmes
'58 Hires Test- just getting one of the 3 left would be great
'16 Tango Eggs- see Hires test
'53 Canadian exihibits, need about 25, would like to make a dent
K Bats- pick up 1-3 more
N162- pick up 1-3 more

That being said, I"m sure something else will catch my eye and I"ll have a similar list next year.

Pretty Good year for me overall

2018
1) Finish my e93 set - still looking for a nice lower grade Cobb - always outbid
2) Add at least 4 more cards to my e92 Nadja set. Currently need 16 to complete the set of known cards. Currently have a lead on 1. - Added 4 including Wagner (batting), McGraw, Knight, and Bemis x3
3) Add 1 or 2 more of the harder/more expensive cards to the T222 set such as a Henry, Alexander, Shulte, Magee, etc - Picked up a Leibold
4) Add another E92 Red Crofts Candy, Menagerie, or Prizefighter - Added a Red Croft Davis
5) Pick up an M110, T3 top tier HOFer, N566, N142, or similar - Added a N142 Nash
6) Add another back to my E/T Young backrun - Nope, nothing

2019 goals are pretty much the same as 2018

Way to hang in there after the big investigation. Kudos for that.

I had no goals for 2018 so met them fine.
I have no goals for 2019 so it should be another good year. One think I don't want to do buy things I already have (done a few times) and quit trying to upgrade and failing at it.

I haven't seen anyone post their 2020 goals yet and the New Year is right around the corner. Here's mine from last year and how I did.

2019 goals
1) Finish my e93 set - still have not found one I like, but have starting to actually look
2) Add at least 4 more cards to my e92 Nadja set. - Actually took a little bit of a step back as two additional cards were confirmed and I think I only added 1 new card (Crawford)
3) Add 1 or 2 more of the harder/more expensive cards to the T222 set such as a Henry, Alexander, Shulte, Magee, etc - nothing
4) Add another E92 Red Crofts Candy, Menagerie, or Prizefighter - Don't believe any came up for sale.
5) Pick up an M110, T3 top tier HOFer, N566, N142, or similar - nothing
6) Add another back to my E/T Young backrun - Added the E105

While I missed most of my goals in 2019, it was still a pretty good year adding a T216 Wagner, Cocoa Wagner, D303 Mothers Bread Plank, W.W. Smith Wagner postcard, T216 VE Tinker, and T206 Mathewson and Young portraits.

2020 goals

1) Pick up an E93 Cobb
2) Add another E92 red croft, menagerie, or prizefighter
3) Add 2 more cards to the E92 Nadja Set
4) Add another back to my E/T Young backrun (preferable a T216)
5) Finish my Davis backrun (need cocoa and maybe black candy)
6) Add another Wagner, Cobb, and maybe Ruth
