    What’s one collecting goal you hope to accomplish before the end of the year?

    Every collector has that one chase that’s been sitting in the back of their mind.

    Maybe it’s finally landing your grail card, completing a rainbow, finishing a set, getting a dream autograph, reaching a grading milestone, or simply becoming more intentional with what you collect.

    What’s the one goal you’re hoping to cross off before the year is over?

    Feel free to share a photo of the card, set, or project you’re chasing. Sometimes seeing everyone else’s goals is just as motivating as reaching our own.

    I also want to start going to more local sports card shops. Only downside is they are all in Seattle which is a ferry ride away and even then it’ll be best to just go by car

    I actually knocked my goal card off my list at nationals today. Absolutely beautiful example of the 1953 Topps Jackie Robinson. The color is amazing and am very happy to own it.

          I’ve had to move my photos to my desktop and choose them there for about a week now. But I figured something changed on my laptop to cause this. I haven’t figured out what though

    Here is the Jackie. Couldn’t be happier. This thing looks amazing in hand. Color and registration is absolutely amazing and the surface still has a fresh sheen. One of the top 100 examples of this card in existence in an SGC slab. 2500+ graded, but only 91 higher. Top 4%. Here is the link to the sgc cert verification to see high res scans.

      Congrats!! That card puts the AWE in awesome! You’re right, the colors are so deep and vivid. It’s an excellent card. And Jackie Robinson was one of the very best ever and probably the one who went through the worst, a lot of which we have no idea. What a great get!! Again congrats!

    I’m not much of a specific goal person. I tend to follow the flow and never know quite where that will lead me. Who knows what I’ll feel like collecting in a few months?? Though I do hope that I’ll stay with a narrowed focus because I do enjoy that more.

    I enjoy reading other people’s goals though because like seeing the variety of ways people collect.
