I'm going to go with . . . .


Organize the stuff that I already have at a quicker pace than the new stuff that is coming in!


Considering all the time I have been spending on auction sites, as opposed to going on vacation, or out to eat, or many other things that used to be normal, "stuff" has been coming in at a pretty good clip. So, it looks like a have a challenge ahead of me!

1) If I can add a Cobb bat on by years end this would be one heck of a year for me.

I already added 2 of the last scarce backs I needed only leaving 1 more for “my back run”.

2) Sell/trade off all doubles and triple T206’s I don’t need.

3) Get rid of all modern cards in my house that are 70’s to present. Except what I keep in my PC.

If I can do that I will have 1 major goal for 2022. Add a drum T206

Obtain 43/49 Top 50 NBA rookie Autos (only 49 because Bird and Magic on same card). I currently sit at 32.

4 impossible grails (Wilt, Mikan, Maravich, MJ) & giving myself some room in case I can't get all the others.

Great thread.

For me:

Obtain t206 Young Portrait (any back)
Obtain t206 Speaker (non Piedmont or Sweet Cap back)
Finish the 1971 or 1972 Topps complete set
Decide if I want to make a run at completing the 1952 Topps set (Mantle excluded)

Or, if prices level out, scrap all that at get a 33 Goudey Ruth.

Starting to think about 2022 reminded me of this thread. How’d we do, gentlemen?

For me, I got the Young, got the Speaker albeit with a Piedmont back, finished the 71 and 72 sets, finished low number 52 Topps and picked up some highs as well, and I got my Ruth. Completely satisfied with 2021.
