THE 2014 GOALS

THIS BLOG AND MY COLLECTING GOALS FOR 2014.

THIS BLOG WILL BE MORE ACTIVE AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK, AND WILL CONTAIN PICTURES, LOTS OF PICTURES!

AS FOR COLLECTING, SIMPLY PUT TO GET AS MANY NEEDED ELWAYS AS I CAN, OF COURSE STILL HAVEN'T HIT THE MILESTONE OF 1500 UNIQUE, BUT THAT SHOULD BE A BREEZE IN 2014.

SEE YOU A LITTLE OVER A WEEK.

This is just a TEST to try and post a pic of cards.





i still havent been able to change the setting on my scanner to only show the cards, instead of the entire flatbed.







These are no longer in existence. I opened them as noted in a previous post.


I got three of these, the dark blue, this red one, and a whole complete carton (less the milk)

I think I ve got the adding pics, now to work on the scanner

much better start this month

The Elways' are definitely off to a better start in December than the last few months. 5 Days in and thus far have traded for 5 new editions to the collection (will be 1351). Now to just get them in. I hope that this trend continues and maybe, just maybe have a chance at the 1500 mark that i set at the beginning of the year.
A couple of trips to the local flea market and  to a card shop certainly can't hurt. We'll see what the weekend brings.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE More John Elway

Yes Please, may I have some Elway cardboard.

I tried very hard to focus on adding to the SUPER COLLECTION but November only brought 17 new additions of unique Elway cards. I was able to add a couple of oddball items, a book, and a vintage mag cover. My goal is still to hit that infamous 1500 by years end, although it now seems improbable, but still possible.

I now have 1346 unique Elway cards, only 4400 more to obtain (apx). I am begging now, please let go of those Elways cards, you don't really want them, LOL.

Most of the cards I need are not high end, most that is. Of course there is overwhelming number of 1/1s out there. I feel blessed to have as many of them as I already do, including the proof from the Topps vault that was added in November. I need a tremendous amount of base cards from the last decade. I have my Elway needs listed in "my organize" on the Beckett website. It's free to check it out so please please please do.

My user id is   jfmjr1. I have a lot of cards available to trade, especially baseball, and vintage too. I just dumped about 8,000 basketball, just kidding I traded them for half of the Elways I got in November plus some really cool vintage (50s) Braves cards.

email me  jfmjr1@aol.com..     check out a not so updated Elway want list here:
