Focus? I am not familiar with this word. Is it part of the new teen slang? My collecting intents for 2011 are to spend enough money to feed a small third-world country (such as Hawaii) on cards that fill no niche in my cardboard hoard other than that they look purty in the catalog. If I can pick up some of the remaining E90-3s and PC796s I need that would be nice, too.

Continue with the Black Sox theme of Weaver & Gandil items. Would like to add the following in 2011:

Chick Gandil - A nice C46 & T212.

Buck Weaver - A nice E100, T207, & Zeenut.

And lastly, continue to work on my T206 HOF portrait sub set. Need many, but am very picky as far as eye appeal goes.
This could take a while, but the search for just that right example is a fun journey I'm having a ball with.

will probably upgrade my T205 set from being the world's worst to merely really bad. Going to take a little breathers, but will probably look at another set to do.

I will be trying to complete the first 100 T206s alphabetically in SGC50 or better. The reason for this is that I have 2 large display cases in my man cave that hold 50 graded cards each. I decided to display the first 100 T206s in these, but every time I get a new card, I have to take both displays down and shuffle all the cards around to add the new card. So my focus is on the first 100 T206s.

Right now I have 69 of the first 100 in SGC50 or better. The first 100 are going to be tough. There are many hall of famers and some tough Southern Leaguers.

The toughest part is that you have 4 Ty Cobbs, 3 Mordecai Browns, 3 Chief Benders, Eddie Collins, Jimmy Collins, and 3 Frank Chances (among other HOFers) and you have a few tough SLers: Bay, Breteinstein, Carey.

I would like to get all of the "commons" and I would love to add my first SGC50 Ty Cobb this year.

To get all 4 Cobbs in SGC50 is going to cost me over $5,000 alone..........so that probably won't happen this year.

I plan on plugging away at my T206 set. More specifically, I would like to add mostly HOF members, and finish off the Red Sox team set.

Default Hoarders

I would like to appear on the Hoarders show and have the first ever smackdown with the organizer/pychiastrist when he suggests I donate or throw out my vintage baseball card collection

I'll continue looking for interesting Reds cards and '33 Goudeys, but as for focus, very difficult for me.

That opening postcard of Leon's looks pretty cool, Reds theme and from Oxford, Ohio (Miami University, my alma mater). I kind of wonder though if life starts at 70, does that mean he was going to begin drinking, smoking, chewing and chasing Wild Women?

I'll still be looking to add real photo cards of fellow Kansans and those that played in Kansas. Also any postcards and cabinet photos from the state of Kansas.
