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."

  1. Chasing Lebron and Gretzky rookie cards are quite the goals. I'd love to find either of these one day at the flea market... but can't say I'm actively hunting for either. Best of luck on your New Year's resolutions! Can't wait to learn about these mirrors.
