*Complete PSA 9 1970's Topps RC collection by finding a '71 Blyleven
*Find a single t206 back I need to get closer to my t206 Wilhelm back run. Currently have 21 of 27 different backs
*Get 10 cards for ARod collection
*Add 1 card to each of my following collections: 70's Nolan Ryan PSA 9, 60's HOF PSA, 50's HOF PSA, Mantle PSA, T. Williams PSA
*Sell a whole bunch of $1-$10 cards
So after I typed and read this I realized I only would like to add 17 cards to my collection this upcoming year.

When I first saw this post, I thought pshhhh ... there is no way I need to be setting any goals for my collection. It is fun and I'll go hard at it no matter what! But, I'm a sucker for goal setting, so here goes:
Land my white whales of Canseco:
1988 Topps Cloth Canseco/McGwire
1989 Donruss Blue Chips
1989 Leaf Blue Chips
1996 Select Certified Mirror Gold
1997 Pinnacle Totally Certified Gold
1998 Donruss Crusade Red
(there are others but this is good for now)
*MAYBE* Scan my collection and post online. That would be a good one!

Take a huge step forward in my quest to complete the 1955 Bowman baseball set. I am currently about 120 cards short of completion with all of the big cards in hand (Banks, Mantle, Mays and Aaron) but those high numbers are going to kill me. I would love to be needing just 20 cards by the end of the year.
I have some 96 Leaf Signatures laying around somewhere. When I find them, if you need them they are yours.

Well, since me and the Mrs. work out of work for much of '15, there's no where to go but up in the Revenue department.
Still have to find a nice focus to concentrate on.
Probably a set, like '84 Topps (personal fave as kid), '82 Topps or '89 Score Football, to work on high-grade collecting. Mark Price (former Cavs PG) autos have really dropped in price, so I'd love to grab some of those soon. Hopefully J-Up goes somewhere I can follow. Hopefully Sonny Gray doesn't go somewhere. Add some Matt Wieters cards to the Lists and I'll grab those too.
My Dad passed in July and has literally 100K cards, mostly from late 90s, to go thru and even though we sold some of his best stuff already, there's probably some Hidden Gems in there still. Keepng his McGwire collection fully intact though. He's probably got some great Gold Label parallels in there and I'll set those aside 'cuz I still love that set.
Whatever happens, I'm sure it'll be way better than the NOTHING NEW this year gave me!

Getting away from Bowman and switching to Topps. Can't give away Bowman base (paper), while Topps sets are always popular. Besides, Topps sets are more fun to build.
First and foremost get my collection organized.
I've started working on the 2001 Upper Deck legends football set. I think this will take longer than a year but it will be fun and a challenge. I feel like my baseball collection is pretty much complete and don't have any major wants for that. I guess I am going to finish the 2015 Topps Tek base set (just waiting for prices to come down on COMC) but that's not too big a deal so I'm pretty sure that will bet done. If I get the card buying bug during baseball season I may grab a few star 1956 topps cards (Clemente, Mays, Aaron etc). I've liked this set for a long time but have avoided getting any because I'm afraid that once I start I will want to finish and I'm not sure I want that much money tied up in 50's cards. Honestly I've never seen any of those guys play and while they are cool I'm beginning to think they aren't that rare as there are always multiple copies in about every grade on ebay all the time. This makes me worry that once the baby boomers start selling or even just stop buying prices could come down a bunch but who knows and that's a topic for a different thread anyway.
