150 more trades

50% on my 1972 Topps set, (currently at 20 )

8k Minnesota Twin cards

175 Kevin Tapani cards.

My goals for my Rockies collection usually focuses on the past in multiples of 5 years.  For examples, in 2022 I worked a lot on 2017, 2012, 2007, 2002, and 1997.  I didn't JUST work on them, but if I was shopping on COMC or Sportlots, those would be the first years I would search through.  And I would usually set a goal for the percentage of team sets that I hoped to get by the end of the year.

2023 brings on the 30th anniversary of Rockies cards, so I will be adding a 6th year to my goals.  Here are my team set goals of 2023.

2018 - Have 241/891.  Goal 280/891

2013 - Have 168/481  Goal 193/481

2008 - Have 126/462  Goal 154/462

2003 - Have 152/548  Goal  183/548

1998 - Have 149/409  Goal 170/409

1993 - Have 56/77  Goal 60/77

Should be fun to work on those years, especially 2008 since most photos cover the World Series year for the Rox.

My goal is to get to 7,000 unique Houston Astros cards. 

Logged in for the 1st time in 2 months. Health issues.

My goal will be to reduce my trade list to zero. That has been my goal for the past few years. I always try to send more cards than I receive. I hope to send out some PIF trades in the not too distant future. 

My goal is to get down to 2000 cards on my wantlist. 

I hope you are feeling better now... welcome back.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! This list is long, but I think it's somewhat attainable:

• Exceed 8,000 Orioles cards (currently at 7,322). Growing the Orioles collection might be more difficult now that I've included cards for building full sets in my trades.
• Exceed 1,500 Capitals cards (currently at 990). Same as the Orioles, this might be more difficult. Also, it's harder to find hockey traders here than it is baseball. We'll see how it goes...
• Complete 1977 Topps baseball set (currently at 62%).
• Complete 1982 Topps baseball set (currently at 46%).
• Complete 1983 Topps baseball set (currently at 84%).
• Complete 1984 Topps baseball set (currently at 79%).
• Complete 1985 Topps baseball set (currently at 87%).
• Complete 2022 Topps baseball set (currently at 74%).
• Complete 1997 Topps baseball set (currently at 75%).
• Complete 1994 Topps baseball set (currently at 97%). 97% is with filler cards as there are many cards in my set that have surface damage from bricking. Replacing those here and there as needed. Not really a focus.
• Possibly purchase the two big chase cards for my Orioles collection: 1957 Topps #328 Brooks Robinson and 1982 Topps Traded #98T Cal Ripken. (Note: I'm not looking to buy these here on the TCDB. Will buy locally or from a card show where I can examine the cards in hand before purchasing).
• Complete 1969 Topps set (currently at 99.7%). I only need two cards: #190 Willie Mays and #260 Reggie Jackson. This isn't a must do goal, but a possibility. (Same as above. Will buy locally where I can examine cards in hand before purchasing. I highly doubt I will be trading for these).
• Get started on my Topps 2000-2021 baseball sets. I don't have many cards from these sets. For example, I only have one 2007 Topps card! I guess I gotta start somewhere! LOL!!!
• Scan the ton of '77-'79 Sportscaster cards I have. Hardly any of the cards have images are in the database.
• Scan other cards missing images into the database.
• Send out some PIFs. Over the past year, I've added extra cards here and there to trades, but never sent cards out to a member outside of a trade. Actually scratch that. I sent an almost full set of 93 and 94 Bon Air Fire Engine cards to FiresNBeers for his generosity and kindness. Surprise! So, yep. I'll keep doing that! Who knows who might get a surprise card, cards, or a set this year!
• Add more cards to my For Trade list (currently at 26,000+ and adding more daily).
• Reduce my "collection footprint". Sell off sets and duplicate sets that I don't want to clear some shelves!
• Exceed 200 trades (currently at 119). This will probably happen while meeting/exceeding the goals above.
• Make more friends on the TCDB and help out your collections!

HAPPY COLLECTING IN 2023!!!!

A little late to the party but here are my current goals for 2023:

1. Complete 250 trades (had 88 complete with 14 in progress over the ~4 months since joining in 2022)
2. Add 588 unique cards to my Andre Dawson PC (Currently at 412)
3. Finish my 1975 Topps White Sox (need 8 more)
4. Find last 10 cards of Rudy Law
5. Add 28 cards to my Topps Flagship #1 and #210 card collection

I am sure these will evolve over the year and I will add more, but this will be my primary focus.

Also a little late to the thread but I only have a few goals for the year:

1. Add 500 cards to be my Ripken Collection, get to 3500 unique cards.
2. Log all my vintage cards into the site.
3. Correctly correlate my Ripken collection between TCDB, Beckett, and my spreadhsheet
4. Trade away all my entire non-sports traders.
5. Make 150 trades, get to 300 total.
