I've done mine.
Not all of these are "sets" if there is no number by the set name the I'm simply trying to get what I can without the goal of completing it.
I'm also going to add a set soon, I'm 90% sure that I want to do 2003 but still not official, if so I'll just start it off by getting the easier TTMers. Some of these are pretty aggressive, particularly adding 51 more 1990 Leaf, but I only do auto collecting and Alvin Davis now so that helps keep me focused.

To get one superstar IP and one crazy one..... ;) this weekend is the hollywood show nd getting Danny glover to add o my baseball movie theme. Angels in the outfield. And krate kid cast is going I be there. Think I'm getting them too....
 
I'd like to finish all the players from the 1969 baseball expansion teams, other than Miguel Fuentes from Seattle who died right after that season.

I have 8 Puertorican players yet to get to complete my PR player collection.......7 of those have passed away and are very difficult to find. Miguel Fuentes is one of those players. I have seen his autograph once, and it was on a team signed ball. Good luck with it.
 
Who are the players you need? Maybe someone here can help.

My goal is to increase my collection by at least 1500 signed items. I hit 1000 in 2013 and wasn't back to graphing IP until April and did almost nothing TTM. Now I'll have an extra 3 months to work with for the Rangers Winter Caravan and all sorts of hockey stuff, so if I do that plus more TTM'ing, I thik I can hit 1500. Maybe even 2000.
 
I'd like to add another 2-3 team signed ROMLBs via 50/50 or consignment as well as 10-20 8x10s via TTM this year. Not a steep goal but I don't have much time to focus on TTM these days.
 
I have a few team signed photos I'm working on. Would like to finish those up, and add some more team signed balls IP.
 
I haven't been doing much TTM lately but I'm going to start sending to movie/TV stars. They seem to be a little tougher to get so my goal is just to keep a few going at a time and hopefully I'll have a collection by the end of the year :)

I feel real great about my progress so far. I was most worried about my 1990 Leaf goal when I set it but thanks to being super aggressive and getting lucky with private signing, and consignments, I've been able to take a big chuck out of it. I have got a few TTM as well, most were people who charged that I never bothered to send to previously. My new worry is 1995 Leaf the 41 remaining seems daunting mostly because I've only knocked 3 out. Once I assure myself that I can hit my others I'll probably be spending the second have of the year just on that set.

I've already received one team signed ROMLB via spring training 50/50 (Marlins) and have two more set up and confirmed for the regular season (Indians & White Sox), so I have reached my goal of signed baseballs. I haven't sent out any more 8x10s TTM, but hope to soon.
 
My goal (with a baby on the way in the next 3-4 weeks!) is to take our 18 month old to our local minor league team game and get her her first game ball! Autos? Maybe, we will see!
 
346 of my goal of 1500 so far. So I'm 23% of the way to my goal with baseball season just starting up, and only two TTM's sent. I'm pretty confident I can make it.

Luckily for me, a cut auto of Juan Rios showed up a few months ago, and I was able to get it (EBay). Now down to 7 more.

Just need 5 more 95 Leaf, 1 Action Packed, and one HOFer for 1974.
I think I'll just get it done.
Funny i was most worried about the 51 additional 1990 leaf and I ended up getting around 90
