2017 Topps Baseball Forum

Welcome to the posting side of the Database Jason! I just got my first card of Ralf in November, I believe.

I'd like to at least double the number of cards I have entered, put a nice dent in my YSL quest, complete my '75 Topps baseball set, start getting my hockey,football,basketball and racing cards listed, and make 100+ trades.

Complete my 1966 Topps, baseball, set.

Get the first 100 cards in the 1961, 1962, 1963 and 1964 Topps baseball sets.

Reach 15,000 different Royals cards in my collection. 

Continue to enter my collection in the DB. 

Organize my duplicates and get them listed in the DB. 

At least one trade per month. 

Wishing everyone involved with this site a very happy 2017!!!

Stay healthy, have a job, collect more and ORGANIZE my collection.

Trades: would like to work on this area to get the cards I need and get rid of the ones I don't. 

Help fellow collectors accomplish their goals if I can help.

PS: Happy New year

# 1 Priority by years end to FINALLY  COMPLETE the 1971 Topps Baseball set !  

# 2 To get more Graded Especially SGC 71's 

# 3 Just to continue to grow my collection.

# 4 Continue putting a dent in Sets / Subsets . Insert Sets  Parallel Sets  that I am also in the process of completing.

I'm right there with ya, Big Ben. I WILL  complete 1971 by year's end. And maybe even 1970. But definitely 1971.

I've already completed the two main goals I had on the year. I love it when something takes half the time you estimated it would.
My main goal was to create a proper paper listing for my NASCAR diecast card collection and integrate them with the rest of my collection. I estimated it would take me 5 to 6 days to do that, instead it took me 2, and I finished on January 3rd. I would have probably finished on the first had I not had an unexpected health complication on the 2nd.

My secondary goal was catch back up on my count pages for my paper listing. I left off with NASCAR and NBA in July 2016 but I left off with non-sports back in 2014. I'm not totally sure it's accurate, but I'm working as if it is. I got it all done on January 13th but it took me about 5 hours longer than it should have, because I made a major mistake in very early 2015- January, I think, and I didn't catch it until January of 2017, so it had been snowballing ever since. As it turned out I shorted my listing by 607 cards, as multiple cards the same number and it threw me all off.

Anything else that I accomplish now is just proverbial gravy. I knew that I had set easy goals for this year (I needed to have something go right) but maybe I set the bar too easily.

I like to complete a set of 2017 Topps and Update.  I buy a Hobby Box of Series 1, Series 2 and Update and I also buy hanger packs at Walmart, Target or Meijer for some trade bait and to try to fill in the gaps that the box doesn't complete.  I do like the First Pitch inserts and I'll chase them again this year.

I'd like to finish the 1969 and 68 Tigers that I need. Hopefully knock off a few more Tigers.

Complete my 1976 Topps set (I'm missing only 3 cards)

Get to within 5-10 cards of finishing my 1975 Topps set which means getting it down to just the expensive cards.

Complete all the Lions teams sets from 1975 to present.

Get some more missing Topps Traded/Update sets before 2014.

I got into the Minor League sets of Pro Debut after getting a bunch of West Michigan Whitecaps team sets.  I'd love to get some of the remaining team sets I'm missing and I'll get into collecting these Pro Debut cards.

And last but certainly not least, I'd love to make many more trades and help others fill their needs while I get a few in return.

Good luck to all!

2017 Goals...

Collect the Topps Series 1,2 & Update set. (My 49th year of collecting, and it would be my 49th consecutive complete Topps set).

Collect the insert sets from 2017 Topps that interest me.

Other goals would be to whittle away at...1968 Topps Baseball Set (need 15), 1968 Topps Game Insert (need 4), 1975 Topps Mini Test Set (need 62), & 1964 Topps Giant (need 22). Also, continue to work on various year insert sets.....all the while trying to avoid summer chores.

1. Want to complete my two base sets of 2017 Topps series 1,2 and update.  

2. Finish off the some of the base Topps sets from the years that i skipped due to raising kids (1996-2014) through trades on the best website around.  

3. Complete the 2015 Topps inserts that I tried to acquire and pick up any from the previous years as I had never really sought after them.

4. Continue working on 1973 Topps through trades

5. Adding to my Stadium Club collections from the years I skipped in all Baseball, Football, Basketball, and Hockey.
