What are you 2008 game used goals?

[Vintagedeputy]

I dont think that this has been asked before and even though its february already, I think its still early enough. What are your collecting goals this year?

I have a few favorite players that I have been working on:

Jorge Posada - picked up a nice game used bat last year

Ryan Zimmerman - just got a 2007 bat last week, thanks to allstarsplus

Don Mattingly - same day, some how...I'll land a legit gamer at a reasonable price.

and anything else that catches my eye...


what about you guys?

I would have to think that obtaining certain pieces from a collection I have a line on are first and foremost. Beyond that; I continue my pursuit of Detroit Tigers GU bats from guys who played on championship teams. It is surprising how LITTLE these bats actually surface.

to be honest, i didnt have high hopes for this year.

i initially was hoping to score 2-3 Lankford bats for the entire YEAR.

in years past they just havent surfaced. and when they have i generally try to snatch them up.

there were a couple of times my damn computer when to hell and i wasnt able to pick an item up. it sucks missing out on an item , thinking that another chance may not present itself for months.

anyhow, i have picked up 9 bats and two jerseys so far (thanks to some outstanding forum members) and its only the middle of February.

i love it.

My goal for 08 was to get a trashed bat of soriano, vlad, posada, and manny. I picked up "THE" soriano bat from 06 that is graded 9.5 by psa and beat to death so that checks 1 off the list.

Also my secondary goal is to get game used shoes from either dwight howard or deron williams.

This year I would like to add on to my Reds collection. Just picked up my first Adam Dunn bat so that is one of my list early. Next big goal is a Reds jersey from a more recent player that spent a few years with the team.

My final goal is to sell off a few more of my autograph items so I can put that towards game used items (hint hint check out the autograph boards for a deal)

Mine is to pick up 1 or both of the following:

- A 1984-85 Mattingly M110 or T141 bat
- A 1986-89 LVS model 1728 (his rarest model)

Well, a guy can dream. We'll see what happens. If you see a post with the headlines, "My Wife Just Kicked Me Out of the House", then you know I found them.

This year I am hoping to be able to pick up a somewhat reasonably priced Jimmy Rollins jersey and a Chris Speier jersey too. I am also hoping to get game used items of some of the obscure MLB & NFL players that are from my hometown.

A Willie Stargell jersey is tops on my wish list with WISH being the operative word at this point in time.

Mine was to acquire a 44.5 gram 10k gold 1990 National Championship football ring, which was the last year we won (which i finally came up with the $1,000 I needed on Saturday and bought it from the man) and #2 I am trying to get the basketball jerseys of the starting 5 players from 2005-2006 when we upset #11 Wisconsin during our 1st real season in Division 1 (I am still working the equipment manager on this one). Heres a pic of my new ring. What do you think????

1) Create a display
2) Create an inventory list for my collection
3) Learn information about game used bats and game used jersey
4) Determine what items in my collection i can use for trade and what items are untouchables.
