Lets hear your 2025 collecting goals!!

My 3 main goals this year:

1) Get to 1000 Game Used Phillies Cards. As of right now, I am standing at 919, so I would need 81 more.

2) Make progress on my 1960s sets. Plenty of commons I need and hopefully knock out a few of the biggies.

3) Try to reduce inventory by selling or trading - if nothing else sell it in bulk locally

These goals are attainable, especially since #2 and #3 are not truly defined. I'll probably fall short on #1 but hopefully get alot closer!

1) Finish my 1967 Topps Set - 5 tough Hi numbers (not Seaver) and 2 Error Cards to go. It's all $$ at this point
2) Finish my 1970 Topps Set - would give me complete sets back to '70
3) Complete a 1958 Topps Yankee team set (I've got all back to '59, including the Mantles) (pipe dream was to '52 but that ain't happening unless a really big lottery ticket comes my way)
4) Get rid of a massive # of commons I've been saving for that ghost that has to have those 1998 or 2004 Topps cards (and many others)

Hmm, not the Seaver RC! I'll guess it is the Carew RC, Maury Wills, Brooks and Tommy John. I can't think of a 5th one off the top of my head. And I';ll bet one of the 1970 cards you need is the Oscar Gamble RC. That was my last one and it took me a long time to find it through a dealer friend of mine in the pre internet days.

Correct on the Carew, but not the others. Colavito, Bunning, Shannon and NL Rookie Stars. Extremely hard to get them in the shape I'm looking for...
