Motivation visuals to complete your set

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

Anyone else obsess about completing their set and use visual reminders at home or the office? I purchased this super cool Cracker Jack poster from another net54 member (you da man!). And now have it framed next to my desk. I use pink post it notes to designate the cards I still need and can now torture myself daily to keep draining my bank account. Gotta love the collectors bug!

I have the image of a Red Munson Old Mill Cabinet as the Desktop Background image on my computer.

The "Monthly Pickup Thread" or Frank's "Monster Number Thread" work well for me. Somedays other days

A.J.,

That's a really sweet poster...I like it a lot!

As far as a reminder for myself...I'm addicted, so I don't necessarily keep any sort of visual to get me going. I'm consistently online, here on Net54, so I see cards that keep the flame going at all times However, I did buy a T206 poster last year that I had planned on framing, but haven't got around to it yet. I believe I want to do something similar to what you're doing with the Cracker Jack poster and mark the ones I need (good idea).

Good luck on completing that set...it's a beauty

I have two, 50 card display cases hanging on the wall. Right after I hung them I placed a reprint 1934 Goudey set in them as a visual checklist (96 cards). Now, as the cards come in (PSA graded), I replaced them in the cases. Slowly but surely, they are changing over from reprints to PSA graded!

I only wish I had taken a picture every time a new graded card was put in the cases, would make for a cool movie/compilation (if only for me).

Dave that's a cool idea. I like having the reprints there and then swapping them out with the real deal. awesome
