Letās see how I did this year What are your 2022 Pokemon collecting goals? - #46 by Coop13
"Iād like to start to consolidate my collection. I have about 300 slabs right now but a ton are lower end <$100, and Iād like to get a few higher value items instead.
A few PSA 10 pieces Iād like to get in 2022:
Team Skull Pikachu 013/SM-P
Crystal Nidoking 150/147
Skyridge Starmie H28
Steelix FA from Steam Siege
Lugia & Mewtwo JPN Game Boy Promos"
Looks like a made a little progress. Iāve transitioned to wanting the JPN version of Crystal Nidoking and e-series holos like the Starmie
As far as consolidatingā¦
Last year my goal was to make progress on my Gengar PSA 9 - 10 Collection. I ended up deciding to change from Gengar to Houndoom, which is a pokemon I like way more. I had a problem towards the start of 2022 where Iād buy cards that werenāt really part of my goals, just because they went cheap. This upcoming year I want to be way more focused.
āIād buy cards that werenāt really part of my goals, just because they went cheap.ā
My current goal is a full PSA 10 set of each gen 3 starter from EX Ruby & Sapphire including Holos, Reverse Holos, and Signed Holos (Signed reverse holos are a stretch goal).
The biggest hurdles are behind me thanks to a lot of luck in 2022.
Oh and to finally get a scanner and make a collection post here on the forum. thatās a must.
Iād really like to complete some of the Japanese promo sets Iāve been working on, namely the McDonaldās Promos and Scream Promos. Not a huge number of cards, just trying to figure out how I want to budget the purchases. Really wish I would have bought that Scream Mimikyu 3 years agoā¦
Consolidating my collection was literally my first thought, so Iām following in @Coop13ās footsteps the coming year. The sheer size of my collection has grown a bit out of hand, especially when I have trouble remembering which cards I currently own, which I have sold and which I should have somewhere but canāt find. Itās a pain and I would rather have fewer, high impact pieces. Itās just always been easier to justify spending $100 on a card ten times, than spending $1000 on a single card.
For aqcuisition goals I hope to add Vaporeon and Jolteon (or Flareon) GS from the PLAY promoās to my collection in the coming year. And scoop up some more PCG-P promoās and ADV-era holoās I like.
I also hope to setup a PSA-account and make my first non-middleman submission. At this point I have maybe 50-100 cards I labeled as potential PSA-10s.
Finish up my PSA 9 Aquapolis holo collection (1 card left) and begin my journey into either Expedition or Skyridge PSA 9 holos.
Nice try, IRS
Goals:
ā¢ Continue to buy AA that I missed
ā¢ Keep buying s6a
ā¢ Skyridge Gengar
ā¢ use PWCC more and store more in the vault
I sold everything during the boom so not really much to consolidate other then some WOTC C/UC Iām slowing selling off and occasional lots I buy.
Still working on my Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion sets. Also starting collecting Noivern (my favorite āmodernā pokemon).
Graded about half of my childhood base/jungle/fossil holos. Havenāt gotten around to sending those in but will once grading gets to $10 again.
The same thing we try and do every yearā¦complete a full Skyridge PSA 10 holo set.
Try to keep up with new Eevee cards being released. 2021/2022 was crazy, hoping for a slower steady pace in the SV era
I want to expand my signature collection! I just started collecting signatures with the saitou event in baltimore and have had a lot of fun with this new area if my collection.
Since last year i definitely made progress on the goals that I made, but im not sure if I will continue to pursue those or funnel my energy into autographs!
The collecting climate has calmed down since the covid craziness, so I will probably add a card here or there when i see it from my older goals
Slowly chip away at the rest of my 1st Ed WOTC era holos. For the Base Set, I got Blastoise and Venusaur and Mewtwo this yearā¦ and Iām hoping maybe I can finally get Charizard next year if I just save up for a while. I have a few Jungle & Fossil holos left as well, but theyāre all kind of the lower tier ones in terms of popularity, so shouldnāt be hard to get them.
Aside from this, Iām slowly collecting some vintage and modern Japanese singles and sets. Getting more interested in the vending series and VS cards as well.
My 2022 goals went pretty well!
I did pick up a gold star and a crystal, and got some good grading candidates along the way. And felt healthier this year in my collecting than the past couple.
For this year, Iām goaling for:
Impulse control
These I want to focus for 2023 goal
Pretty much done with modern at this point, the never ending chase is just tiring.
Base, Jungle and Fossil PSA 9 holo sets are the priority for next year
