2012 Collecting Goals and Resolutions

[jbmm161]

Since it is that time of year what are your collecting goals and resolutions for 2012?
Here are mine and hopefully you will share yours as well.

Goals
---------
1. Add a Topps 2012 On Card auto of Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax and Ken Griffey Jr. Hopefully from the same set.
Add a to my PSA 9/10 Bowman Chrome collection, especially the players in my want list.

2. Spend less on busting wax and retail (used all my luck up in 2010)

3. Sell off some non PC items and turn those funds into PC items

4. Get rid of all the base and commons from my past box breaks

5. Organize my collection better and display my autograph memorbilia items and stadium giveaways

1. Continue Consolidating the Collection - Sell off some unwanted game-used cards especially.

2. Continue Sending TTM Requests - I would like 50 returns next year, and I plan on sending to several Hall of Famers at the beginning of the year.

3. Finally Obtain a Bob Gibson Autograph - My goal from the past two years. I haven't tried really hard, but I would love to add him, especially in-person if he comes to a show.

4. 'Graph In-Person More - In my opinion, receiving autographs in-person is the best part of collecting.

5. Have Fun Like I have since 2009 - Entering the online world (collecting forums) has added a new dimension to my collecting over the past three or so years. And I love nearly every minute of it.

I am sure I am not the only one with this problem: stop overpaying for stuff!
