Steve Martin's Holiday Wish

My hobby dream would be a signed 1963 Fleer Roberto Clemente. It is the only card from the set that I don't have a signed version of. Given that the last one that came to auction sold for over $10K, it will remain a dream.

Personally, I would like to complete the half dozen runs I've started.

I'd also like to see prices come down a bit so more collectors could enjoy this great hobby of ours.

Default Hobby dream
Excellent thread Scott!

My hobby dream WAS to get autographs of the first 5 hof inductees... im one short, had the opportunity to wrap it up in 2020, but despite the conditions and timing being right i just couldn't pull the trigger.

Now- i am really enjoying the opportunity to participate in my daughter's hobby adventures... she took a liking to the bruins a few years back and started collecting game used sticks. It has been a real treat to connect with her through a common interest and watch her collection grow

As brunswickreeves says, it's an ink blotter. I used to see them a lot years ago. I think if you used a fountain pen, the blotter kept your desk or papers under what you were writing on from being smeared with the bleed-through ink.
