Speedy's 2020 hobby goals

speedyjg13 · 12-20-2019, 05:33 PM

I know there's a thread but if I post there, I probably won't find the thread later.

I have four goals....3 of them depending if Topps makes the card or not

1 - buy a Trout/Vlad Guerrero Sr on card dual auto (if topps makes it, tier one/museum collection?)

2 - buy a Trout/Fletcher on card dual auto (if topps makes it, tier one/museum collection?)

3 - buy a Donald Trump on card auto (if topps makes it, allen and ginter?)

4 - send all my ungraded cards for grading (hopefully after I picked up the above 3 cards)

I will update thread as these hopefully happen

When you say send "all my ungraded cards" do you literally mean every single card?

Yes...EVERY...thing is, I don't have that many. I don't rip boxes and don't do group breaks. I just buy singles. I probably have about 25 ungraded. I'm kinda selective when it comes to buying cards. It helps that my wife is there to regulate when I buy "stupid cards" like the time I bought a Jaime Barria RC auto card /25 or a Griffin Canning RC 1/1.

I didn't meet any of my 4 goals. This year was though, the least expensive year since being in the hobby. This was easily my most satisfying year of collecting! There were my main pick ups, I also picked up 1 copy of each Trout P2020 card released

You did well. Very tasteful choices.
