With 5 cards in the Zest set, what are your other goals Al?

2013- I didnt set any goals for 2013 as I was out of collecting this time last year, for the most part. I obviously got back into and acquired cards I like from the big names in Post War (Mantle, Mays, Aaron and Clemente) in as high grade as I could afford.
2014- I am down to just a few more Post War Rookies that I need and would like to add the rookie cards of the following: 51 Bowman Willie Mays, 48 Leaf Jackie Robinson, 54 Topps Ernie Banks, 55 Topps Koufax, 68 Topps Nolan Ryan, 68 Topps Johnny Bench and 62 Topps Lou Brock. Very doubtful that I acquire all of those cards next year, but assuming I did, I will turn my attention to Pre-War cards going forward with the following on my radar: 39 PB Williams RC, 33 Goudey Ruth #144 and #149, T206 Cobb Bat OFF, T206 Young Throwing, T206 Walter Johnson, T206 Cobb Green Portrait. In reality that is probably my collecting goal for the next 5 years. Last edited by MBMiller25; 12-02-2013 at 10:25 AM. |

I made great progress in 2013 on my Topps/Bowman Cardinals team run from 1948-1980. I hope to wrap it up in 2014, I'm down below 15 cards, though most of them are Hi numbers and big names (Musial, Slaughter, etc).

New guy here, started collecting in October of 2013. So far I have been collecting HOFers from the 50s and 60s that are PSA graded. I felt this was the best way to avoid being ripped off since I'm new.
With the help of some great folks on here I have started exploring some raw cards and even purchased a few 1953 Bowman raws (waiting on them to arrive). I ordered a 10x Loupe and and halogen desk lamp. My goals for 2014 are to learn more about raw cards, continue to purchase them and get a better understanding of evaluating raw cards. |

I been placing bids anywhere and everywhere for nice: 51 Bowman Mays RC, 54 Hank Aaron RC, Clemente RC, 52 Pafko #1 and placed a few pre-war bids on Cobb/Ruth and last night a Wagner. Sometimes i venture into football RC's, i like to add a nice Ditka RC, Landry/Gifford RCs 2013-- i vastly collected a bunch of Mantles (main focus) at the end i finally got my 52 RC. My list is about done.. Selling off the other regular issues to make room for newer additions. In all. i got some nice cards and helped out some individuals on the board.

I'll be upgrading a few 60's Mets cards, knocking at least one or two remaining cards off the Topps type run and adding more Topps corporate items to the collection. Beyond baseball I plan to work on my '49 Topps Flags and License Plate sets, Bowman NY Football Giants team set and the Wild Man and Wild West sets. I think that's about it.

2013 was a success! Finished the 1954 Red Heart Dog Food set (I'm a sucker for the smallish/food-issue sets).
2014 Goal: Finish the 1954 Dan-Dee Potato Chips set -- I'm 4 cards away and already have The Mick. |

Finish up some sets:
1964 Topps Giants high grade set - 54/60 1964 Topps Giants signed set - 49/60 1986-87 Fleer Basketball all SGC 96 -121/132 Would like to make some more progress with my PostWar HOF RC set as well. Maybe pick up a nice '54 Aaron or a '51 Bowman Mays. http://www.sgccardregistry.com/set.a...5&userset=4648 Also I am on the fence about starting a PostWar HOF signed RC project as well. I have about 10 or so, but i know I won't be able to acquire some...ever. Still mulling...

2014 Goals
I would like to finish my '52 Topps set. I am missing some high numbers and the Page/Sain error as well as 2 other Campos variations (I have 1 red star / black star thanks to a board member). Al-R has got me thinking about trying to complete variations within the set....
If I do so, I will probably never finish given the infamous mid-series gray backs much less trying to pick up the "glossy" mid-series gray backs. I don't think I have ever even seen a mid-series glossy gray back. Which leads to the question....at what point will I be "done" collecting the '52 Topps set? Z Wheat |

Well, last night I purchased a 1958 Topps, J.W. Porter Yellow Name Variation card. That was the last card I needed to complete the 1958 master set of all cards and all variations.
So at the moment I'm at a loss for what comes next, aside from better organizing and presenting my collection. I'll continue to add to my Ripken collection as I always do. Other than that, I'm contemplating the following, indecisively at the moment: 1955 or 1956 Topps Hank Bauer Random Type Collecting/whatever cards strike my fancy Last edited by timzcardz; 12-05-2013 at 11:24 AM. |

Topps Aaron run
I just completed my Hank Aaron Topps 1954-76 Topps regular issue collection. I was able to complete it pretty reasonably as I was lucky on some auctions and was willing to buy mid-grade cards. I will probably upgrade some in the future, but I am pretty excited to finish this as Hank is my favorite all-time player.
