2011 Resolutions (both Collecting and Personal)

1. Finish 1 Base Set of the Cup
2. Frame Olivia's Nameplate with Hockey sticks
3. Acquire 100 Cup Rookies (Autos and ARP's)
4. Finish the book I started writing 2 years ago by February
5. Start my doctorate! (I want you all to call me Dr. Koz!)

[Craig2]

I've got a few:

1) Trim the fat from my collection by getting rid of my unwanted cards.
2) Finish dismantling my Bogosian and Erik Johnson collections.
3) Pick up Jonathan Bernier ITG cards, which are most of what I'm missing in my PC.

Scott - Good luck with the doctorate.....I got invited to do one, and turned it down because I just don't want to spend my time doing yet another degree. And with all due respect, I'm not calling anyone Doctor unless they're an MD, DO or something similar. :)

Fair enough!

I found an online program that is going to fit my needs for the time being. I could not afford to leave my job. i probably will not start until the Summer. I'm tired of working for the man (not that working for the Man's Children will be much better!)

Seriously, I do wish you the best of luck......I know how hard it is to do a degree while you're working and raising kids. It's great that you have the drive to do something like that!

1. Figure out what it is I want to collect

2. Get trades/sales done with my current cards.

3. Buy national treasures if it comes out for Panini

4. Buy a case of the CUP

5. Be able to get 50 trades done here

6. Hopefully help out some people here in reaching milestones in their collections

7. actually get my UD and Panini Redemptions

8. Pull a 1 of 1 (non printing plate pull)

[HammerHawks]

Mine:

1) Reach 100% with my Hjalmarsson PC (really won't be hard to do at all except for the 1/1, only need it, the OPC base, and the OPC retro)

2) Reach 250 trades on SCF

3) Finish my "project" which I am hoping to do shortly...won't say what it is, but it has to do with some high-end beauties

4) Finish my hockey room

5) Increase/Grow my appreciation for the hobby

6) Finish my Hjalmarsson PC display

[centrehice]

I promised myself several things:

1. Don't get too involved with weak UD Inserts (UD doing a real poor job IMO), which means, don't bust too many packs. I haven't busted much UD since the 04-05 season.

2. Concentrate on cards that can always be moved, even if you don't like the player, or his antics on the ice.

3. Stay away from extremely high-end issues unless they are a bargain, and never break boxes of stuff that won't net back even a 1/3 of your money.

4. Stick with HOFers for the most part, as they are the only ones that pay off long term.

5. Do not collect cards of people that do not play Hockey. (ie) Donruss Fans of the Game? Lol. I've never been at risk at losing my Man Card, and am not about to start.

[RGM81]

does Gorges have a lot of 10-11? that can't be easy.

So far I've got everything from OPC and Score, and just need the UD Exclusives Spectrum, Donruss Die Cuts, and a Panini sticker to get to 100% - until more stuff comes out. I don't know how much more he'll be featured in this year, but it's nice to hope for more.
