*Red Sox collection - had some great pickups in 2010, and hoping for more in 2011...now moving to the top of my wants are a nice T3 Speaker (I know this is not tough, but the right one at the right price has eluded me), any rare Speaker card I don't have yet, a Cracker Jack Harry Hooper, and a T207 Joe Wood.

*Dockman set - I'm at 32 out of 40 and could possibly complete this in 2011.

*C60 Lacrosse set - I'm at 78/98 - need 20 more (all commons, but these are not easy cards).

Had a great 2011. Got the CJ Hooper I wanted (my avatar) and the Wood from the same set. Still looking for the right T3 Speaker and T207 Wood at the right price!

On the Dockman set I'm now at 37/40. Hope to finish that one in 2012...maybe...

Got the C60 Lacrosse to 80/98. Still working on that one.

Cheers,
Blair

Turned out to be just a pipe dream and the Matty price was stratospheric. Oh well, it's fun to dream sometimes. I'll still be on the lookout for any 1912 Boston Garter this year, although the likelihood of me acquiring one is very slim.

I remembered that and was pulling for you. That thing got sky high in a hurry. I'm glad you didn't sell everything off in advance.

I picked up two things for the Cravath collection! A bat and the 1916 Standard Biscuit Peckinpaugh that is actually Cravath.

The hunt continues!
