My White Whale for 2013 is a Kobe Bryant 1996 E-X2000 #30 graded PSA 10. It's the last card I need for my Kobe PSA 10 rookie set. It will probably take me the whole year to save up for that one. lol
Some other cards I'm hoping to add in 2013 are...
Larry Bird 1992 Upper Deck #33 PSA 10 Steve Nash 1996 Topps Chrome #182 PSA 10 Lebron James 2003 Bowman Chrome #123 PSA 10
<< <i>1.) Finish my raw 70, 71, 73, and 74 sets. About 200 cards away from each.
2.) Continue to add to my Post War HOF rookie set registry occasionally.
3.) Upgrade some cards in my 59 and 75 set. >>
I remember working on those early 70's sets in the 90's. Those gray 70's and Black beauty 71's are a real challenge to find in decent shape. I was obsessed with my 75's also. I had my best set then my second best and then the third set was all the cards that were replaced in the first two sets. Good luck and have fun with those
Interested in 60's and 70's psa and raw star and hof cards
1 - Find and purchase a Red Byron autograph (1st NASCAR Cup Champion) 2 - Complete my PSA 1972 STP set 3 - Upgrade my PSA 1983 UNO set 4 - Find and purchase rare and obscure NASCAR autographs 5 - Get the last six cards in my PSA 1989 Maxx set from a 9 to a 10
This thread comes up every year and each time I put a bunch of stuff down and never complete one thing. I started thinking last October, what do I want to be when I grow up. I figured out that I was not as happy collecting cards because I had to much stuff and trying to go down to many directions. I just felt overwhelmed.
So, I decided to start selling. I sold most of my un-opened packs (kept a few that were toughies) but kept my sealed boxes. Started selling a lot of my graded cards as well. All the while, trying to figure out what will bring the fun back to my life in the hobby. So here is what I have:
-Continue to sell off a big portion of my collection including most of my graded cards so I actually see what I really have.
-Quit buying PSA graded cards (please don't ban me ) There are three reasons for this. One, get back to my roots. 30 years ago when I bought a Bench, Rose or Mantle, I could touch it, feel it, and even smell it (yeah, I am a little weird but I love the smell of vintage cards). Secondly, I started to get sucked into the registry sets and I didn't like it. I found myself more focused on what place I was in versus actually enjoying the card. I didn't find this truly collecting but more of a competition and ego. Thirdly, on my quest to complete a registry set, I would find myself spending $40 for a PSA 9 vintage Reds common that I could find raw for $3 or $4. I just came to the realization this made no sense to me.
-As Scott (OT) stated, I would like to continue to help other collectors finish their sets. I helped 3 people this year and really was a rewarding expierience for me.
-Continue to run the BBCE box breaks. I really do love doing these (yeah, I know I am weird).
-Obtain 1 sealsed box of 1980-85 baseball (wax and cello), 80-86 FB (wax and cello), 80-87 Bskt (not including 86) and 80-86 OPC hockey.
-Add to my collection of empty wax/cello boxes. I am starting to really enjoy this alot. I am trying to figure out a way to display.
-Focus on picking up NM to MT centered raw cards. I know that my be tough but it will be fun to try.
-Put together raw FB sets from 80-86 from the group breaks.
-Finally, start picking up some T206 cards. I have always loved these cards. I really believe they are more art than cards. I don't plan on going crazy but will try and maybe pick up 3 or 4 a month. Will go raw on some but will also pick up SGC graded as well (please don't ban me). I love the way the T206's look in the SGC holders better.
My goals for 2013 is 1) -- Better my son Mark's 1983 Topps baseball set . I have 31 -- 10's left to get . 2) -- Finish my son Joseph's 1984 Topps baseball set . I have 111 -- 10's left . I have a major submission planned . 3) -- Up my son James 1966 Topps baseball set to the 40 % -- 9's . 4) -- Try to get to 90 % -- 10's on my HOF players set . This is my funnest set to collect . 5) -- I started a 1971 OPC CFL set . This is another fun challenge . I'd like to get to 25 % , but that may not be realistic as they are tough to find . 6) -- I have two Ted Williams baseball card sets ( 1993 & 1994 ) that are VERY HARD to find high grade cards for . I plan on submitting what I can find worth submitting . 7) -- I'd love to further add to the various players sets I have -- ( Dwight Evans , Steve Rogers ,Cesar Cedeno , etc , etc , etc . ) These are all fun , but are low on the totem pole . I add to them , mostly when the higher sets are slow . ----------- Sonny

1) Find a 4-5 card lot if UD Griffey Jr's, and have one of them come back a 10. 2) 53 Topps Eddie Mathews in a 6. 3) 54 Topps Hank Aaron in a 6 (From the National). 4) Complete my 56 and 57 Topps Braves sets finding 6 or 7s. 5) Start and complete the 58 Topps Braves set. 6) Send in raw cards with confidence of 6 or 7s. (This is my biggest goal.)
Before we start making goals for 2014 I thought it would be interesting to see how everyone did with their goals for 2013. I thought I was on this thread but couldn't find my post. I think I must have put down my collecting goals on another site. I will try and cut and paste my post from January if I can find it. My memory is probably off but I think my goals were in some order:
--to get a 1980-81 Topps Basketball Wax Box--still working on this as the only legitimate boxes I have seen for sale were on this BST board and sold out before I could get one.
--buy a high grade Magic/Bird/Erving--purchased a BVG 9 early in the year, but I regret it now as I wish I would have held out for a PSA 9. I will likely try to sell the BGS 9 sometime this year to help (partially) fund a PSA 9.
--continue making progress on my 1961 Fleer Basketball PSA 7 or better set-- Definitely made progress there. I am up to 47/66 on the set (45 PSA 7 or better and 2 6's).
I don't remember if I had any other goals--my guess would be to work on my 1986 Fleer basketball set as well. I made no progress on that set as I got fatigued from doing that one.
As it turned out 2013 was the year of unopened as I found a passion for that and quickly assembled a small stash. I also got sidetracked on a few side collections, starting a small player collection for Andrew Luck, Lebron James as well as getting some HOF 49er RC's in PSA 9 (Montana and Rice). Looking forward to 2014!

Great reminder, Steve. I vaguely remember what mine were, and I know for a fact that I did not follow a single one of them. Not sure how much weight I'm going to be putting into 2014 goals either.

- 1957 Jim Bunning PSA 6, Ernie Banks PSA 5 and Yogi Berra PSA 5 - Was able to get all of these in the grades targeted.
- 1967 Seaver PSA 5 - This has been on my list for a few years, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. - Added to my 2014 goals
This will give me 30 key cards from 1957 thru 1985 Topps Baseball.
- Finish my top 18 for 1962 Topps football. I need 14 more. - Now need 10 more.
- 1965 Namath in PSA 5 (probably won't happen) and the following in PSA 6 Biletnikoff ,Warfield, Lebeau, Dawson and Blanda. - Was able to get Warfield, Dawson and Blanda.
- 1963 Fleer Dawson and Alworth in PSA 6. - Got the Alworth
- 1981 Topps Montana PSA 8 - I have been procrastinating because it is so easy to find. Will get eventually.
This will give me 18-24 Key cards (depending on the year) from 1960 thru 1981.
This will be my first year setting some collecting goals. My 2014 goals will be:
1. Complete my 72 Topps baseball set (88 cards left, mostly high #'s, of course) 2. Get to 90% complete on my 70 set (currently 71%) 3. Get to 70% complete on my 65 set (currently 44%) 4. Continue sifting though bin boxes with my 6-year-old for Giants cards for his binder.
I want to complete my 71 topps set in nm shape 95 cards to go. Add a few cards and upgrades to my 61 topps set
Well I see I didn't finish again. I did pickup some 61's but only half of the 71 that I needed. I am down to 41 cards for my 71 set and 14 upgrades. Well maybe I will finish it in 2014.

3) Get a PSA 6 or higher Koufax and Mantle.
4) Find a concentration for my collection and stick to it.
5) PSA 9 Jeter 1993 SP.

4) Complete my 56 and 57 Topps Braves sets finding 6 or 7s.

--to get a 1980-81 Topps Basketball Wax Box--still working on this as the only legitimate boxes I have seen for sale were on this BST board and sold out before I could get one.
--buy a high grade Magic/Bird/Erving--purchased a BVG 9 early in the year, but I regret it now as I wish I would have held out for a PSA 9. I will likely try to sell the BGS 9 sometime this year to help (partially) fund a PSA 9.
--continue making progress on my 1961 Fleer Basketball PSA 7 or better set-- Definitely made progress there. I am up to 47/66 on the set (45 PSA 7 or better and 2 6's).
I don't remember if I had any other goals--my guess would be to work on my 1986 Fleer basketball set as well. I made no progress on that set as I got fatigued from doing that one.
As it turned out 2013 was the year of unopened as I found a passion for that and quickly assembled a small stash. I also got sidetracked on a few side collections, starting a small player collection for Andrew Luck, Lebron James as well as getting some HOF 49er RC's in PSA 9 (Montana and Rice). Looking forward to 2014!

1. Complete my 72 Topps baseball set (88 cards left, mostly high #'s, of course)
2. Get to 90% complete on my 70 set (currently 71%)
3. Get to 70% complete on my 65 set (currently 44%)
4. Continue sifting though bin boxes with my 6-year-old for Giants cards for his binder.
Add a few cards and upgrades to my 61 topps set
Well I see I didn't finish again. I did pickup some 61's but only half of the 71 that I needed.
I am down to 41 cards for my 71 set and 14 upgrades. Well maybe I will finish it in 2014.
So, I'm at 100%!
