Continue filing out Action Packed Racing Inserts....

Less Gold Cards... Grab some here or there....

Fill in Maxx sets as possible, inserts as they come available....

Otherwise, just get Small name brands organized and fill inserts from those....

I have about a dozen sets that I'm down to just a handful of needs each.  71, 77, 78 Topps, less than 50 cards needed for each of those.  85 Topps traded, I'm down to 32 cards needed (collecting that one the hard way one card at a time).

Outside of wrapping up the sets I'm close on, my son asked if we could come up with a way to focus what we are looking for at card shows so we don't walk around aimlessly.  72 through 76 (open to just about any trades for those years!!!) I still need tons but he wants to know other newer sets to search for at shows.

Enjoy spring and summer. I gave up my sports photography for 2023.

. I want to build a World Series charity album with team cards for each year of the series back to 1980s.

Clean out the SN 's on my wantlist.

I currently have no specific goals planned for 2023. 

If anything, it would be to integrate the NASCAR hero cards into my trading card collection, which essentially just means counting them, adjusting the numbers of cards in my collection to reflect them, and typing them into my Excel chart. But I hardly consider that a 2023 goal because it will take me all of 3 hours to do once I excavate them from my storage unit. And the counting will be done by Excel so there's really very little actual work to do. 

Getting them out will be harder than getting them documented.

To early to think about as I haven't completed any.of my 3 goals for this year. 1 is attainable, getting to 100 Wes Chambwrlain cards. Only 7 away from that. Currently looking to make some trades to get there. If anybody wants to trade to help me send me a propsal

Not too early to think about that here. I moved my household and entire collection in June. I tried to get back into trading this month but could not locate cards for most of the trades offered (apologies to those I had to withdraw from), so I had to shut that back down. Goal for remainder of this year and early next, is to get stuff organized again so I can find the cards I need. (While still trying to complete 2022 Topps series 2 and Update sets.)

2023 is basically the same as 2022. Motivation for the hobby has slipped for me though.

I want to hit 20K unique Blue Jays cards sometime in 2023 and keep adding images where I can.

No real goals set yet.   Still have my main goal (Getting rid of all my nephew's collection one way or another) for 2020 to finish.   Each year my goals have been set lower.   Do have plans for the next month and start of the new year.   

Pull cards for Secret Santa   DONE

Start pull cards for my Thanksgiving/Christmas PIFs    I normally start right after Thanksgiving and go until right before Christmas.   A few PIFs sent out each week.   

The big one:   At the end of Nov or first of Dec:  Remove all cards on my watch list (COMC) and go through and list them again.  Hoping to remove ones I have and add new ones.  Last time it toke me 2 weeks.

Then back to trying to trade and sell and help here with what I can do.
