It seems that my goals continue to be about the same every year. I did not hit my goals last year but I think I did fairly well.
1) I would like to pick up at least 20 of the final 41 cards I need for my 1960 Topps set. The high numbers are not too hard to find but I need quite a few of the bigger names (Mantle, Mantle AS, Mays, Koufax, McCovey) Picked up a grand total of 1 card
2) I am down to the last 2 cards for the 1975 Topps Mini's set. Just need the Ryan and Yount. Both are relatively affordable but finding them at a show is proving to be very difficult. Still looking for these last 2 cards
3) Pick up one of the last 2 cards for my 1971 Topps set. Just need the Mays and the Baylor/Baker/Paciorek. Passed on a chance to get the Mays for 100.00 but hopefully the guy still has the card the next time I see him. Didn't even come close on this one
4) I would like to pick up the remaining 130 or so cards to finish the Bowman run of sets from 1989-2024. The Rivera rookie is the only big card I need out of all of the remaining sets. Down to 2 cards. The Rivera rookie and the 2019 Harper SP. At least one went well
5) Get my 1970 Topps set below 100 cards left. I am currently at 130 left but only 4 big ones. Munson, Mays, Bench and Ryan. But those high numbers are proving to be very difficult. Almost made this one. Down to 105 cards left!!
I know these are some lofty goals and the chances are that I will not complete all of them. But putting them on here seems to help a little in my opinion.
I would love to hear everyone's thoughts.
Thanks,
Bryon
