Probably finish my Diamond Stars set. I am mired in the high numbers. Just looking for some decent eye appeal cards. Won't go out of my way to get the variations. Might expand my blog into a book on the 1941 Double Plays...

I suppose a handful of general strategies come to mind:
1) Refrain from getting emotionally invested in auction items, to avoid getting into bidding wars that result in a Pyrrhic victory. 2) Stick to my convictions that prices can’t stay this high forever for mainline items, no matter how many times my fellow collectors declare that current prices are the new floor. 3) Keep grinding. I have a handful of player sets with a few items left to find. Maybe this is the year! If not, then keep searching for upgrade opportunities, but without losing my shirt to pick them up.

Hmmm.
1) Pickup any Clemente item that I "need" that shows up - at this point I can count on 1 hand, so it would be cool to find even 1!
2) Continue on the Pirates team collection that my kids and I started - more specifically try to finish off: T213 Pirates - need 7 - anyone have any they would consider selling? T205 Pirates - need 4 T207 Pirates - need 1 - McKechnie 1914 Cracker Jack - need 5 1915 Cracker Jack - need 5 1959 Venezuelan - need 1 (McDaniel) 1967 Venezuelan - need 3 (Stargell, Face, Wills) 3) Scan /photograph more of my collection and share it!

Push the focus of my collection even further to rare examples, refrain from buying cards that "would be nice to have" in order to pull the trigger on higher value rare cards when they become available.
I'd like to complete my E-card goal of having a Master Set, high grade set, Color run, & back run.

Very simple for me. Get a nice looking low grade Green Cobby.
Anything else is just gravy. Happy Holidays! Bill
