3) clear inventory for space {a lot of 80-90's baseball in attic}

1. Finish my Clemente Basic set, only 8 more
2. Finish the other smaller sets on the registry
3. Start a 1965 Topps Baseball set in PSA 6 or better
https://www.psacard.com/psasetregistry/pdub1819/othersets/6204
After that, it's just to continue chipping away at the plethora of other sets I'm working on.
edited to add: It would also be really nice to reach 50% on my 1955 Red Man set in PSA 5...need just 6 cards to do that.
Each upgrade to PSA 10 for my Basic Ripken Set has been costing me anywhere between $30 and $120 per card. This is so difficult, but it's very worth it to me.
The Set Registry is a hell-of-a drug...
2. I would love to finish off one of my autographed AFL sets. Not sure that this is really possible, but I will list it anyway. Maybe the 1967 Topps set, where I am currently at 112/132 autographed.
3. I would like to add 50-75 signed cards to my autographed AFL sets.
4. Pick up interesting AFL Chargers items as I find them.
My Sandberg topps basic set
My Sandberg Topps Master set
2) Complete 1977 Topps Green Bay Packers set in 9 or 10
3) Get to 25% completion or better on the Pro Football Hall of Fame Rookie Players set (preferably 8 or better)
2) Get to 50% on my 1978 Topps Football set PSA 9 or better
3) Pick up some stars for my 1970 Topps Baseball set in 8s
2 - Finish my PSA graded 1933 & 1934 Goudey Hall of Famers
3 - Finish my PSA graded T3 Turkey Red Hall of Famers
4 - Make substantial progress on my Nolan Ryan Registry Sets
5 - Finish off my PSA 8 or better 1960s Chargers

Wow. It's been a loooong time in the making. I started building it in 2004 with a MN Twins card (#584) in PSA 7. I overpaid for it but I just wanted to upgrade that card in my raw set. Little did I know what it would lead to as I discovered PSA and the Set Registry!
[Edited to add: I don't care if my wife does find out what I'm spending on cards. She spends way more on $%^ing buttons...]
<< <i>Anyone that has done deals with me on the BST board here knows that I have to wait to send payment until after I get enough money in my Paypal account so my wife won't see the money pulled from our bank account. >>

LOL..........for me I take the "weekly allowance" cash my wife gives me from our joint account and save it up for a few weeks, then either deposit the cash in my "fun money football card" bank account that goes to my paypal or buy ebay gift certificates to use. I am supposed to be buying lunch and gas and incidentals with it.......I havn't bought lunch in years and I charge my gas to our joint debit account...and I "incidently" buy Bowmans with it. LOL... yes....my name is BigDaddy and I am a cardaholic! My wife isn't a dummy...she is an enabler! Luckily my cardboard sales helps the cause! I usually have her take the packages to the post office so she sees just how much money I bring in with sales
By the way, thanks to Earl for making my new sig line!

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

I'd like to sell of a bunch of duplicate sets (1962 x3, 75, 76 x3, 77 x2, 78, 79) to fund the new ones - but I am limited with time all year (working on MBA) -- trades would be MUCH easier given my time crunch.
Good luck to everyone and best wishes for the new year.

Of course if the present internal distruction of our economy is allowed to march on ,all of our collecting goals will be foolish. Lets hope something great occurs , to stop the madness.
