Cards you are targeting in 2024 - Page 2

salas1991 · 11-29-2023, 01:49 PM

1973 Topps Mike Schmidt raw NM-MT
1968 Topps Ryan/Koosman raw EX-MT (NM would be wonderful but prob outside my price range)

Vitd · 12-03-2023, 01:46 AM

My current list is as follows:

1. 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle (~PSA 4)
2. 1969 Topps Lew Alcindor (~PSA 6)
3. 1955 Topps Roberto Clemente (PSA 6)
4. 1986 Michael Jordan (~PSA 7)
5. T206 Ty Cobb (PSA 1.5)

I’m sure that I won’t end up with all of these before the end of 2024, but hopefully the top 3 at least.

76 Payton Rc in an 8,it will complete the whole toops run of Payton cards in PSA 8 or above.

discodanman45 · 12-04-2023, 02:44 PM

Over $1200 in funds now and it is really hard not to spend it on a Nolan Ryan rookie.

Sheld505 · 12-07-2023, 03:41 PM

Undervalued HOFers in the highest grade or best raw condition.

i've got a psa 4, and an sgc 5 (not for sale), centered, you can't go wrong.

on my list is to definitely add a 3rd one this year. i've been on the prowl, lol.

oplum29 · 12-08-2023, 05:00 AM

rookies of Ollie Matson, Frank Gifford, Paul Hourning, and Mike Schmidt

Add one by Becket (BVG), and then you'll have all the 3 big ones!

I actually have a Ryan auto, not on his RC, but just one of his vintage cards, that has been authenticated by both BAS and JSA, with stickers on the back. I'll be sending it off soon to PSA/DNA for the trifecta! lol

JimV · 12-12-2023, 07:32 AM

Top Ten: (Four Cards Left as of October 2024)

1. 1956 Jackie Robinson Purchased
2. 1956 Sandy Koufax Purchased
3. 1957 Frank Robinson
4. 1959 Bob Gibson
5. 1960 PSA 7s of #1 Early Wynn and #18 Dodgers Team Both Purchased
6. 1964 Topps Giants PSA 8s of Sandy Koufax and Willie Mays
7. 1964 & 1965 Topps Richie Allen Both Purchased
8. 1970-71 Topps Basketball #10 Havlicek Purchased
9. 1970-71 Topps Basketball #123 Maravich Purchased
10. 1972 Roberto Clemente Purchased

VanLingoMungo46 · 12-12-2023, 09:14 AM

More Red Sox prewar. Might try to do all the t206 cards in non mainstream backs.

Continue to upgrade my 75 mini set. Just got a Brett SGC 9 which I am super stoked about. SGC cards go for a heavy discount over PSA cards in this set which I still feel is undervalued. Eventually it will go for a significant premium over the regular size set, the way it used to be.

Would love a 52 Jackie.

discodanman45 · 12-12-2023, 10:46 AM

Unfortunately I am going to have to spend 2024 paying off bills and big cards will have to wait. I thought it would be 2025/26 before my CyberTruck would be available, but I am one of the first 1000 people that will get it. This will be my last car purchase for decades, so I will only do small purchases this year.

irv · 12-14-2023, 12:18 PM

2 big cards for me are the 52 Topps of Hoyt Wilhelm and Eddie Mathews even though I know my chances of ever owning either one, especially Mathews, are slim to none.

Save up some money. You can probably get a PSA 1 Poor copy of Wilhelm for under $1,000. Not sure about Eddie though.

robert67 · 12-17-2023, 05:05 PM

I would like to get a few 1949 Bowman baseball in PSA 2-5.

And, I’d like to get some HOFers from the 1955 Bowman baseball set in PSA 2-5 as well.

SleepyWill · 12-18-2023, 10:42 AM

68 Nolan in the 7.5 - 8 range.

TheWrightStuff · 12-21-2023, 11:23 PM

The only major card I plan on picking up this year is a 1955 topps Clemente RC. looking for PSA , well centered with clean face.

aguinness · 12-23-2023, 01:48 PM

My White Whale is the final piece to my T205 Red Sox team set, which I want with all different backs. I want a Hindu back, which only appears on three Red Sox players: Cicotte, Engle and Stahl. Based on the population numbers for the TPGs, this might never happen for me, but it's a hunt I'm willing to try!

Baseball4life90 · 12-23-2023, 08:19 PM

I've been targeting a 56 Koufax...just got it in today.
I think I'd like to go for everything except his RC, and have a whole line of Koufaxes in Sgc 3.5-4.5

VanLingoMungo46 · 12-24-2023, 06:34 AM

T206 Red Sox cards Sovereign backs, bad condition, ungraded.

i want to amend my previous list and just say, that i'm going to concentrate more on football vintage. i've always been a QB guy, so i've got all the big named rookies of QBs (Unitas, Starr, Namath, Baugh, etc), but now i want to concentrate my vintage collection on non-QBs.

guys like Marion Motley, Dick "the night train" Lane, and Gale Sayers.

also, might have to pick up the rookies of some of these guys that had two cards, like Sid Luckman.

baseball, i'll simplify it to only a few key cards here and there, anything pre-war that catches my interest.

i would like to add a Buck Weaver card for example, but there isn't much choice out there.

notfast · 12-25-2023, 01:18 PM

-t205 cobbs w/ piedmont 42 and honest long cut backs
-t206 cobb red portrait off back
-97 showcase row 0 legacy tony gwynn /100

msink28 · 12-31-2023, 07:59 PM

nicely centered PSA 7 Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Roberto Clemente 1960s Topps cards

Jsquared123 · 01-02-2024, 09:33 AM

Would love both
1971 Topps Clemente in a 7 grade (PSA or SGC)
1971 Topps Munson in a 5-6 grade (PSA or SGC)

nmh20 · 01-02-2024, 10:43 AM

I'm just getting into collecting vintage, but I've got some money earmarked to chase the cards below. Notable omissions include Willie and Mickey - I still haven't decided which of their 50's cards (that fit my budget) I like the best.

1951 Bowman Ted Williams
1951 Bowman Larry Doby
1952 Topps Monte Irvin
1953 Topps Jackie Robinson
1953 Topps Satchel Paige
1953 Bowman Warren Spahn
1953 Bowman Minnie Minoso
1954 Red Heart Stan Musial
1955 Topps Ernie Banks
1957 Topps Roberto Clemente
1958 Topps Hank Aaron

jambieyes · 01-03-2024, 09:25 AM

For me, I am changing my approach to collecting this year. The past few years, I have been trying to complete sets and collect some of the more affordable cards I want. With the prices of cards continuing to come back down, I am going to start trying to target my biggest wants this year. My son and I will be attending the National for the first time, so hopefully I can score some big hits there. My biggest wants for this year and beyond are(in no particular order):
1952-56 Topps Jackie Robinson
1954 Topps Ernie Banks
1957 Topps Frank Robinson
1963 Topps Pete Rose
1968 Topps Nolan Ryan
1961 Fleer Jerry West
1969 Topps Lew Alcindor
1970 Topps Pete Maravich
1957 Topps Johnny Unitas
1957 Topps Paul Hornung
1958 Topps Jim Brown
1965 Topps Joe Namath
1971 Topps Terry Bradshaw
1967 Topps Jacques Lamaire
1973 OPC Larry Robinson
It remains to be seen how much I can chip away at this list, but hopefully I can at least knock a few off this year.
