Hobby goals for 2023

matt_CHW · #1 12-29-2022, 08:45 PM

Hello, I am new to the site. I have collected cards since the eighties and never collected prewar cards, but recently started reading some historical articles about my favorite team the White Sox and specifically the 1906 Hitless Wonders. I decided that modern collecting seemed to scattered and I wanted to be more focused in my collecting. So, in 2023 my goal is to start collecting cards of the 1906 World Series Chicago White Sox players. I just purchased my 1st T206 card of Jiggs Donohue. Can't wait to learn more about these cards and players.
Cheers,
Matt Cortese

Welcome to the forum Matt and good luck on your collecting goals in 2023.

Maybe complete the 1940 Play Ball set after 40 years. It's been one of those sets that I keep overlooking because of other interests. Less than 20 cards to go (albeit, Jackson's one of them). Most of the high numbers checked off the list already.

Scan as much of the collection and catalog it better than it is now. I've been slowly adding to the spreadsheets through the years but it'd be nice to just complete the effort. If for any reason, so that the family has access to a quick reference list of the junk there will be available for sale after I kick the bucket.

Well I'd love to get at least one of the 3 Diaz Cigarettes I need but that's always kind of a long shot.

I'd say finally dip my toes into getting an OJ at long last

Maybe one more T207 Napoleon

Wow

I am amazed at the focus and the diversity of the goals.

Love the specifics and many are chasing some tough to find Commons and HOFer's.

Will be interesting to see mid year or during the year how many of stayed focused to these goals(many of us including myself often stray for other interesting cards)

Focus? What's that??? My wife calls my collection "The Festival of Bric-A-Brac" and she isn't off by all that much.

Goals for 2023:

Continue to finish several sets i have been closing in on, including:
C55 hockey (need one card)
C56 hockey (need 12 cards)
C57 hockey (need 10 cards)
T3 need ONE card (in the right condition to fit my set)
41 Playball (need 10 cards)
Diamond Star (need 10 cards)

Add to my nascent Sweet Caporal postcard hockey collection
Buy a T200 premium
Maybe work on my E90-1 set…means buying a Jackson and the Wagners and Youngs….we’ll see
Add a Ruth card from the 1920’s i passed on too many times and now never see…..to complete a set.
Add some 50’s and 60’s cards in nicer grades that might have calmed down lately.

Sell off any peripheral cards that aren’t as meaningful to my collection given the runup in the values. FOCUS….
