I plan on working on my 1952 Bowman set as well. About half way currently.Also want to pick up a Cracker Jack HOFer from each year. Make it to a few more shows In the coming year.Being able to have the cards in hand is so much better than waiting for the mail ! I'm sure there will be more as the year progresses as it seems like my focus changes all the time. That's what is so great about this hobby there is always an endless amount of things to collect and ways to collect them .Brett

My goals are:

1.) DON'T start any new sets. This is my number one goal. I need to finish the ones I've started.

2.) Work on '52, '53, '55 and '56 Topps baseball sets.

3.) Work on '51 and '53 Bowman baseball sets.

4.) Finish my 1954 Topps baseball set (only missing Hank Aaron RC)

5.) Finish my 1961 Topps baseball set (only missing 4 cards)

6.) Pick up some pre-war HOFers

7.) Stay focused

Finish my 1947-66 Exhibit set. That's my only post war collecting goal. Everything else I take as it comes.

Funnily enough most of my goals have shifted dramatically in the last year as I went much more heavily into Non Sports.

On the baseball front I want to finish my '52 Topps Dodgers teams set, which is down to about a dozen highs. Still working on a few Topps baseball types, may finish all but the two or three toughest of those. Refocused my Monster into a Superbas team set and working on their T205 team set as well. Other than that I probably won't do any more baseball projects in 2012, although I'll possibly pick at my E card type run. I'll keep plugging on the "all genre" Topps type run thru 1980 though.

New projects: Topps and Bowman classic era NY Football Giants team sets and some Golden Age Topps NS sets such as World on Wheels and Freedom's War could be finished.

Pretty simple for me on the post-war side, just pick up the only three cards that I need for my collection, 1953-54 Venezuelan League - Luis Aparicio, 1963 San Diego Padres Team Issue - Tony Perez & 1952 Indianapolis Clowns Postcard - Hank Aaron. With only one example known to exist for each of these three cards, I should have them all in hand by around June or so.........

My only postwar project is my autographed 1984 Topps set. I pick them up here and there, but I would like to focus a little more strongly on the project and get some more of the multi-player cards checked off my list.

Currently have approximately 160 signed cards from this set, but the large number of multi-player cards is making it a bear to complete.

I have really slowed down on my type card collecting... but still need on my some on my ck list..... some are readily available (like the T3, T202) but haven't been motivated to get one yet...

T3
T202
E98
E105 Mello - Mint
I'd like a Topps Salesman's sample panel
Yoo Hoo NY Yankees card with a tab
More Exhibit HOF cards and SP Exhibit cards (both pre and post war) including variations

I hope to add the Kid Elberfeld - Washington - Portrait card to my ultra low grade T206 collection and continue to work on these sets:

1948 Bowman Football
1948 Bowman Basketball
1957 Bowman Basketball
1961 Bowman Basketball


...and most importantly, add some other highly desirable (but virtually worthless) Nate Colbert oddball cards/memorabilia to my collection!
