Hobby Goals for 2015?
I think someone does one of these every year around this time, and it looks like I'm the one to get things going this year.
What are some things you'd like to accomplish in the hobby next year? Can be anything as simple as "opening up a tin of The Cup for the first time" to "finally locking down the final two autographs in a set project" and anything in between.
For myself, I'd like to be able to reach the following landmarks by the end of 2015...
1. Hit 1,000 feedback here at SCF. I came up just a bit short of hitting my goal of 800 by the end of this year, but we'll see how things go next year.
2. Carey Price collection back over the 300 mark - currently at 270. I've done a lot of trimming of the collection lately and it's really a quality over quantity thing now, but with him there are so many ridiculously nice cards.
Specific objectives:
1. Land one of Subban's top /99 RC's.
2. Finish the 13-14 Prizm and Score sets.
3. Pick up a Price 1/1.
4. Complete the Subban Prizm rainbow (anybody got an /10 Gold or the Finite 1/1?)
5. Keep on having fun.
Habs fan and collector! Current PC's: Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Lane Hutson...., and of course...

1. Bust more wax, only rule is I have to be building the set so that most of it doesn't 'have' to be traded/sold to make it worth while.
2. Pull the trigger more often on things I know are a good deal that match my PC. I've felt untold guilt too many times in 2014 on 'the ones that got away'!
3. Stick to things I am going to want to look at in the years to come regardless of what happens to their 'value'. Don't buy something just for what it 'might be worth' later.

Copying this from a similar thread on another site. Big goals for this year:
1) Reduce the size of my collection by 80%. I'm removing everything outside of my Toews collection, and a few sets in progress.
2) Try to find the Lafleur and Perreault to complete my 2004 Legendary Signatures autograph set. Probably easier said than done.
3) Continue working on my 2004 Legends Classics auto set, with the goal of adding 10 cards I need (currently need 36 in total).
4) Try to add 20 Toews autos to my PC.
5) Continue to slowly work on a few HOF basketball auto sets.

1) Continue to add to my Dubnyk Collection ( With Panini out and Dubby more in a Back up role, There will be far less production of his cards.... if any this year. It's a good time to search for his older stuff that I cant seem to find)
2) Continue my search for the 99-00 Aurora Championship Fever Parallels
3) Actually follow my budget and no over spending! I spent too much last year. Far too much... haha.Last edited by oogabooga99; 12-27-2014 at 04:18 PM.

My main hobby goal this year is to focus on getting some of the bigger cards to fill holes in my PC and to not get distracted by side projects as much as in 2014.

I know. I have a large flat rate box packed up of all the serial numbered cards, but for some reason I just can't let them go. I don't know why. I just need to do it.
