Collecting Goals for 2021

 I finally sorted a shoebox full of Sportscaster cards that I purchased in April.  Those take way too long to sort due to the large set size, the small card numbers and the thin card stock.  Can I even call it card stock when it is really paper stock?

Since I have next week off I will probably be able to spend more time with my Kellogg's cards.  

For 2021 I've got a few goals for my collecting.

1. Attend card shows.  That didn't really happen this year for obvious reasons.  

2. Attend flea markets.  The one I usually attend never did open.  Even if it did, I had no assistant for my golf course job so I probably would not have gotten any time to go.  Related goal - find an assistant to help me at the golf course once a week.  

3.  Attend the National since it is 30 minutes from my house.  One year I had already planned a team camp during the week of the National so I only got to go on Sunday.  I'd like to get two days since it is close.  That would give me time to actually dig through boxes to find things from my want list.

4.  Meet up with some bloggers at the National.  Let me know if you are going to attend.

5.  Work on my want lists.  This is way down the list because even though it is fun, it isn't a big deal how long it takes me to to get these items.

6.  Work on my other collecting interests - Sportscaster cards, Hostess boxes, Western Open items (golf) and Starting Lineups.

Are any of you going to the National if it happens and if the world is vaccinated by that time?

  1. No plans to attend the National unless it eventually comes back to the West Coast... or we plan a trip that happens to coincide with the show (but that's not very likely). Best of luck with your 2021 goals. I'm hoping flea markets around here will eventually open, so at the very least I can get some steps in.

  2. It seems as though it will never go to the West Coast again. Flea markets and card shows certainly help with getting steps in.

  3. Good luck in 2021. I am toying with the idea of heading to the National this year. We’ll see if I can make it a work out. I would love to get to any show in 2021 after 2020 was such a bummer. Hope you can accomplish all your other goals this year.
