The 2011 Collecting Goals thread

[jflan702]

Hi Everybody!

As we get to the end of a great 2010, I wanted to get a thread posted about 2011. Last year's thread was great, with updates all thru the year. I am hoping that this one will be just as good, or better. Let me know what your goals are for your collection in 2011.

My goals for 2011 are:

Work more on my vintage sets. 4 are below 20 cards till completion.

Get to 80% on my 2005 Absolute Tools of the Trade GU/Auto set. Currently at 65.5%.

Get closer to finishing my 2008 UD YSL GU set. Currently at 31/42.

Complete all 3 series of 2011 Topps.

Thanks everyone. I hope that 2011 will be great for everyone.

My one goal for 2011 is to obtain my main Pujols want. Not the 2001 Bowman Chrome (that's wayyyy outta my price range) but rather a 2001 Donruss Signature Albert Pujols AU RC /330. I'd even offer up my 1994 Upper Deck Mantle/Griffey dual auto in a trade for one but I'll probably end up having to sell stuff and buy one on eBay.

2011 collecting goals

1) expand my Ryan Miller collection
2) finish off some baseball sets
3) organize my cards

 

[BiggioDiogu759]

Organize cards (already in progress)

Get rid of cards I dont want for cards I want

 

[nexus8793]

1. Get rid of a lot of commons to clear out space
2. Keep slowly working on various autograph projects

Not too many goals this year really. Too busy this year with school/research to do very much. Love to check out other people's collections though,

[dabigbenchman]

Get a few more really old cards for my Yankees collection, 1930's and older.

Get as many Yankee cards as i can from the 2011 regular Topps set and the 2011 Topps Heritage set (all the base cards, and then any special cards that interest me).

If they come out with T206 and A&G, those dont interest me, i have 21 original T206 Yankees and i just want the real thing.

My number one goal though is to BEAT MY CARD-BUYING ADDICTION!!!!!!! I have spent a small fortune these last couple of years on vintage Yankees cards, and its time to stop before my wife shoots me.

 

[TMCD]

1 - Get to 300 unique Adam Lind cards. Currently on 141.
2 - Bust at least 6 hobby boxes. It doesn't sound much but I have to take into account a high shipping cost as well as possible import taxes.
3 - Stick to a budget!!!

 

[budd2222]

1. Buy a Mantle, Aaron, Mays , and two cuts to finish off the second monster walmount display case.Then give them to my niece.

[ckinney]

With the help of some key bench people I was able to complete my goals of last year more quickly than last year.

This year I am looking at getting my different A's player autos up to 500, and get up to 22.5% of all A's cards made (including the new releases of 2011).

Edit: Add 10 more A's bobbleheads to my collection.

Best of luck to everyone on their collecting goals.
