Are 2017 Rangers Alumni Alley these things?

If so I'll keep my eye open during Van Poppel searches in case I see a lot that includes a Frye.

No, though Jeff has issues in that set that I have already. If you see a Frye that is black and white rather than sepia though please let me know. I don't think he has a black and white version but you never know.

Alumni Alleys came after those Alumni Legacy cards. They were for the same purpose though, stadium signing giveaways. They look like this.

There was a picture of Jeff signing some on the Rangers website for a while and he confirmed they existed the last time I talked to him but I've yet to see one for sale, signed or unsigned.

Ah okay. I'll keep an eye out for those and a black and white version of the other cards in case I happen upon something.

So much for that. I did subtract one from the list but found a couple other cards for Helsley I didn't know existed so I'm moving backwards again lol.

I have 44 2-row shoeboxes. I’d like to get that down to 42 before I add more.

I’m sure I’ll weaken my resolve and join a few groups breaks next year, but I’ll try to only do it for higher end products with fewer cards.

It would be nice to finish my Topps Heritage chrome run (2001-2012) next year. I am pretty far away on 2001 and 2002, but very close on 2003 and 2007. 08 and 09 need some love and attention.
how about 300 plus 3200 counts --sorted by team - many in alpha order .sadly most junk years

My 2021 goal is completely gutting my player collections. I expect to get rid of close to half of them, and I've already started. There are of lot of players I collect that I don't even bother searching ebay for anymore, and I just don't get excited thinking about adding their stuff. I don't really need, say, 15 1998 Tek base and a Diffractor of a guy I haven't bought a card of since 2018 sitting in a binder. Or the other hundreds of 90's inserts I have of some guys on the chopping block.

Basically very similar goals to last year. Hopefully I can actually make progress on number 1 and 6 this year.

1. Add 3 more 2004 Exhibit Puckett cards.
2. Add 3 1/1 Puckett cards.
3. Finish at least 6 Twins Topps team sets.
4. Downsize my overall collection. I have a lot of random stuff that either needs to be sold, traded or tossed out.
5. Clean and Organize my card room/office. I have a lot of stuff that needs to be put on display yet. I started refinishing an old dresser for storage. Once I finish and add some shelving this should get better.
6. Find some very specific cards from my want list. Most of these I never see but one can always hope. List is below.
2001 DONRUSS STUDIO WARNING TRACK OFF THE WALL (#d/25)
2002 DONRUSS CLASSIC STUDIO LEATHER & LUMBER ARTISTS PROOF
2002 TOPPS GOLD LABEL MLB AWARDS CEREMONY RELICS TITANIUM ( ALL STAR MVP) ACR-KP2
2002 UPPERDECK SWEET SPOT CLASSIC GAME USED BAT GOLD (#d/25)
2002 UPPERDECK SWEET SPOT CLASSIC SIGNATURES (PR/74)

Darin Erstad
+ Find the 2003 Sweet Spot Bat Barrel I am missing /4, I have the other 3.
+ Add another laundry tag
+ Add another button card
+ Add another barrel card
+ Find another game jersey
+ Of the 153 non 1/1 I am missing, I'd love to knock off 30 of those.
+ Of the 290 1/1 I am missing, pick up 12 or more.

Bucky Jacobsen
+ Missing only 4 non 1/1 cards. Would love to track down 2. On the list are a pair of /25 parallels and a retail parallel. "Common" stuff but elusive.
+ Of the 34 1/1 I am missing, add 6.

Aaron Kurcz
+ Add a game jersey
+ Finish off the IP auto's. I'd need to grab some extras and message him, then be finished with this run.
+ Find this card: 2011 Bowman Draft Prospect Autographs Red #AK Aaron Kurcz /25
+ Missing 6 1/1 and the above Red auto and I'll have everything.

Will Clark
+ Add an interesting game used item. I've got jerseys, a bat, batting helmet, batting gloves, etc
+ Move the rest of my PSA and BGS graded cards. I've got 100s.
+ Add a "keeper" type of card (laundry tag, barrel, etc).
+ Liquidate more singles I have to other Clark collectors
+ Add more 1987 Topps Tiffany rookies. I'm at around 500

Eddie Murray
+ Add a game bat. Have a hat and an Indians road jersey from 1995.
+ Add a "keeper" type of card (laundry tag, barrel, etc).
+ Liquidate more singles I have to other Murray collectors
+ Move the rest of my PSA and BGS graded cards. I've got 100s. Unsure about the 1978 PSA 9 though.

My son (age 6)
+ Open some packs together (if we can find any, LOL)
+ He loves Mike Trout (good taste, kid). Find something unique for him to keep.

Erstad - no movement here, yet. Did get some really interesting proof cards.

Jacobsen - Two 1/1 this year so far.

Kurcz - Have extras of all raw cards, now can ask Aaron to sign for me. Zero leads on GU stuff.

Clark - Moving a lot of stuff to other Clark collectors including some PSA. Have added 5-6 Tiffany rookies this year. They've started to fetch more but prices seem very random.

Murray - Might be moving some of my PSA rookie stuff. They've gone up so far beyond what I paid. Helping another Murray collector with singles. His collection is awesome. Glad to help him out.

My son - Legit no packs anywhere close. We've got a few Topps Update rookies. Going to PSA soon once I have a good look at them.

Ginter Goals:

2. Add 10 of the 1890 N30s.
3. Add 10 of the 1890 N44s.


'90s Insert Set Goals:

Finish fifteen sets.

Other Set Goals:
1994 Upper Deck The American Epic
1. BC1 - Mickey Mantle Bonus Card - Only one I need to finish the master set

Jeff Frye

- No movement on this front sadly.

Ryan Helsley

- I already met my goal of adding 5 from the non 1/1 list with these so my goal for the rest of the year is to add 5 more. That should prove interesting because I only need 11 non 1/1s total.

1. 2015 Bowman Chrome Draft Black Wave Asia Refractors #189 Print run of ~50
2. 2017 Topps Heritage Minors No First Name #18
3. 2018 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autographs Canary Yellow Shimmer Refractors #CPARH SER# /10
4. 2018 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autographs Orange Refractors #CPARH SER# /25
5. 2019 Topps Update 5×7 Gold #US248 /10

Add 3 1/1s.

-
I actually managed this one too so I'd like to acquire 2 more before years end.
  1. 2018 Topps Bowman Holiday Autographs Gold Festive #THRH SER# 1/1
  2. 2019 Bowman Chrome Prospects Superfractors #BCP121 SER# 1/1
  3. 2019 Topps Chrome Update Superfractors #25 SER# 1/1
Add 3 Printing Plates.

- No movement here.

Ginter Goals:

- No movement here. I actually added another set to the list though and have 10 of the 47 1888 N11 States and Territories now.


'90s Insert Set Goals:

Finish fifteen sets.

- I've done this one and more. I was at 47 finished sets at last count so far this year. I've probably added 100 sets to my wishlist too though lol.

Other Set Goals:
1994 Upper Deck The American Epic
1. BC1 - Mickey Mantle Bonus Card - Only one I need to finish the master set

- This one is done. I finally bit the bullet and just snagged one that had been overpriced on eBay forever.
