CHECKING MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

     


      I know today is August 13th & well I thought I would see where I'm standing on my January 1st thoughts See if I made any process until the end of the year results. 

1. Try to completing either my `03/`04 Topps or Upper Deck Basketball sets by getting LeBron James RCs. STILL NOT COMPLETED THIS TASK.


2. Try completing my `79/`80 Topps Hockey set by finding an inexpensive Gretzky RC. I HAVEN'T FOUND 1 YET.


3. Meet at the National Sports Card Convention at least 3 people from the blogging world or 4 from Sportscardforum.com that aren't my friend Greg from The Collective Mind blog. DIDN'T RUN INTO ANY OTHER BLOGGERS BUT ATTENDED THE NATIONAL ALONE!!!!!


4. Purchase a 1967 Brooks Robinson #600 under $300 COMPLETED TASK AT THE NATIONAL 


5. Take down at least 10 names from my 1975 O PEE CHEE baseball list before the end of September. CONSIDERING I'M DOWN TO 39 NAMES I GOT A FEW STARS OFF IT


6. Celebrate my milestone birthday by getting some great cards off from my lists. I STARTED THE 2025 TOPPS HERITAGE SET ON MY BIRTHDAY


7. Celebrate my 1 year anniversary of blogging by still blogging & have more insights for my readers to enjoy. GOT MANY CONGRATS ON MY 1 ANNIVERSARY POST


8. Hope by March madness rolls in to have at least 6 people take on an upcoming challenge that aren't my friend Greg from The Collective Mind blog. FAILED TO DO THE CONTEST!!!!! 


9. Find the elusive Bob Gibson Seagram's 7 baseball legends mirror (Stay Tuned about a piece about these mirrors) for under $100. STILL WORKING ON FINDING 1 AS WELL THE POST!!!!!


10. Delete 10 sets from all 4 Sports by Game 1 of the 2025 World Series. I MANAGED TO DELETE 15 SETS & ADDED MORE ONCE I ACCOMPLISHED THE ONES THAT I DELETED!!!

         I gotta give myself some credit I did pretty well so far on my goals but still far away from completing the entire list still until then I am reminded of Rogers Hornsby talking about signing autographs "Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign Autographs for little kids ain't an American, He's a Communist."
