What are your vintage collecting goals for 2009?

[Graymouse]

Hey everyone. I was wondering what are your collecting goals for 2009? I guess I will start it off.

My goals are as follows:

Finish my 1955 Topps PSA 7 or better 1955 Topps set. (only 5 more to go!)

Start a 1956/57 Topps PSA 7 or better set

Continue collecting all Topps base cards of Roberto Clemente up until his final season.


P.S.

Merry Christmas and I hope that all the vintage collectors out there will find "old cardboard" in their Christmas Stockings on Christmas day!

Obtain Greenberg's benchmark vintage cards (41 Play Ball, 1935 4in1, 1935 Diamond Stars)

I wanted to finish my 57 Topps set by 12.31.2009. I'm continuing to grade cards as I get them, so hopefully I'll have the complete set graded by 2010-2011

Get 15-20 percent of the 1933 Goudey set.

My HOF auto collection is stalling and will soon be cost-prohibitive to add to, so I'm going to start picking up vintage of HOF stars whose autos I can't afford. See my Christmas gift post here on the vintage boards for the 6 HOF t206s I got for Christmas.

Still can't believe I got outbid on that one.


My goals are:

1. Get Doerr's 1950 Bowman & 1951 Topps to complete his vintage cards from his playing days set.

2. Get Joe Cronin's last 33 Goudey RC I need...#189

3. Get Red Sox vintage cards of Duffy Lewis [T207], Tris Speaker [E91], and Joe Wood [E91]

4. Finish my 1939 Play Ball Red Sox set

5. Grade all of my raw vintage....this will be done in January

There are a couple of odd ball Ted's I am looking for. Wish the Live.com discount were in play now as I would hit a couple of them.

Will look to add some old-time HOFer autos to my collection as well. Would like to be above 160 HOFer autos by year end. Have to "replace" a few that were not authenticated by PSA.

Still need a 53 Bowman Color Mantle to finish that set. See Live.com comment above.

Have 57 Topps and 52 Bowman sets on hold..........

I'm looking to start a PSA 6 or better 1955 Topps Baseball set. I was very intrigued by PSA 7 set being put together by Graymouse. Looking to add to my Hank Aaron graded vintage collection.

I was active on the old beckett site and look forward to seeing everyone pursue their vintage collecting goals.

Quite simple for me:

t206 - add one card per week on average to sit at around 150 by next Christmas

Prime Cuts I - MLB Icons Material Signature Prime - currently 44/51 (not including the sixteen 1/1's) - add the 7 missing cards

....Since i sold my 1960 Topps ex/nm set, i have decided to give the set chase a rest. i am looking to add to my t206 good or better collection. As of now i have a whopping 1 card, but it is a red Portrait Cobb PSA 3.5. Dont feel to bad for me..............

I'm happy to see that more people here are getting interested in vintage as each week goes by. It always puts a smile on my face

I'm actually thinking of the same thing....here's mine:

1.) Start my vintage collection with the Purtell T-209 that I have incoming

2.) Chase down one 209/week or trade for them as often as possible

 

[dano7]

Get a 1951 Bowman Mantle and to get closer to completing my 1962 Topps set.

Are you going after the color or b&w set (or both?)

My goal for this year is to get to 100 different T206's. I only need 23 more to get to that point, so it should be pretty achievable. I ended up with 2 doubles, so if I can trade those to another T206 collector that would get me even closer.
