Your 2016 autograph goals?

[indyreds]

What is your goal for 2016? Are you trying to add a specific teams autographs or chasing a set? Do you have a number of successes that you wish to reach? Let's hear what your 2016 goals are for your collection!

Well since the Nationals are going to be coming to KC this year, I am hoping to get Harper. I am also hoping for a Trout. I hope to also get more than 6 autos ip from the Royals, like I did last year. I am still working on my Bible verse collection and start my 2015 World Series champs ball as well as work on 2014 World Series ball and Pro Football HOF photo

My goals this year is to add at least 12 autographs to my dodger poster(that will put it over 130 if I do - then retire it cause it's about out of room) add about 1/2 dozen dodger bobblegraphs, get joc pederson to sign my authentic all star home run derby jersey and get at least 20+ cards signed by an assortment of Dodgers!!! And add as many autographs from the high a Dodgers farm team (Rancho Cucamonga quakes) as I can including any possible rehabbers that may go there this yr, and as many autos as I can get at the '16 high a minor league game in June in lake elsinore ca

To get more HOF autos on ROMLBalls. I live near Round Rock, so to get more IP autos from Triple A players and rehabbing players.

I really want to get Tim Raines autograph. That's my goal as well as more Minnesota Twins players.

I really want to get Tim Raines autograph.

I'm pretty certain I got Raines' auto during a spring training game at Roger Dean Stadium 20 years ago. No idea where that ball is now. I was a kid; chances are I played baseball with it.

I'm just getting into this, so I don't have any goals other than continue to learn, get to the events and games I can get to, continue sending stuff out TTM (and may do something more than cards, maybe graduate to jerseys for certain guys like Dirk), and build up my card collection.

In the near future I would like to do at least one, maybe two visits to Jupiter for spring training and do Marlins Fan Fest. Beyond that I'd like to get to a Dolphins training camp.

Great question, Indy! I'll chime in, too.

1. Send out 60 cards via TTM. My numbers the past couple years have really dwindled... 38 and 39 requests respectively compared to 2010-12 where I was sending out 150+. Some of that has to do with the fact that I'm getting a little snootier in who I send to... but I'd like to get it up around 60 requests.

2. Work on my Chicago Cubs Alumni collection. I've sent to most everyone that is still living that played for the Cubs from 1948-1970. I'd like to knock the players from 1971-1980 this year.

3. Develop / Revamp 3 designs for the year. I'd like to redo my Ticket to Stardom and Standing Tall sets. These are both sets that I used to make or designed but never sent out for different reasons. I'd like to redo the Ticket to Stardom for some all-purpose baseball/football requests, and I'd like to do the Standing Tall Set for the Bears. I'd also like to develop a cool dual signature card for the Blackhawks alumni.

4. Finish 4 Cut TTM projects. I have 4 cut autograph projects I've dabbled with, but never finished. I'd like to get them accomplished:
- A Lou Boudreau 2 custom sided card.
- A Joe Munson custom 2 sided card.
- A Carlos Gonzalez custom 2 sided card for my son with him and Carlos Gonzalez.
- An auto booklet with a series of autographs I have from the 2009 NFL Walter Payton Award Banquet ceremony.

I have never really done a project before I just usually send to players I know who sign or take a chance on others. So I think this year I am going to set the goal of getting all the NFL Head Coaches.

Better organization of what i got going out and coming in. I also want to send some more baseballs to HOFers ttm.
