Well let's see...
1. Sell some more PC cards that have been supplanted by more premium cards so I can continue to streamline and focus on the best of the best.
I wasn't able to make a ton of sales but did manage to move a few big (to me) PC cards and make some money to redistribute. In some cases, even with Ebay gouging their share, I still came out well ahead based on the money I had into them.
2. Find the Larry Murphy Extra Exquisite Gold patch 3/3 to complete the Quincy.
I did not. The search continues.
3. Grab the President's Choice Butt End from the Good Doctor (if a sale comes along).
I kept my word and brought this home early on when the Good Doctor ran a 25% off sale.

4. Hope for one of the last Motown Madness nameplate (half) letters I need to pop up.
Denied again.
5. Land a new-to-me premium 1/1 I haven't seen in the wild before (may intersect with #4)
With an assist to Eric Andrews, I did.

6. Land a premium 1/1 I've missed out on in the past.
I didn't "quite" turn this trick in 2025, but the agreement was in place in 2025 so that kinda counts, right?

7. Try to help hobby friends where possible.
I try to do a few gestures here and there, and if I see a rather limited card of a player I know a friend collects, I'll try to bring it to their attention, probably to their annoyance
But I know how excited I can get by additions both big and small, and I want everyone to have that feeling. There are few things more satisfying to me in the hobby than seeing cards go where they belong.
***
My goals for 2026 are more or less the same.
1. Sell some more PC cards that have been supplanted by more premium cards so I can continue to streamline and focus on the best of the best.
I may have finally moved out most of the "bigger fish" but still have stuff I'd like to liquidate and redistribute into the PC.
2. Find the Larry Murphy Extra Exquisite Gold patch 3/3 to complete the Quincy.
Let's try again, shall we?
3. Hope for one of the last Motown Madness nameplate (half) letters I need to pop up.
Will never not hope to complete this nameplate. A 12 half-letter nameplate would be a hell of an accomplishment.
4. Land a new-to-me premium 1/1 I haven't seen in the wild before (may intersect with #4)
The list of premium 1/1s I've never seen in the wild is getting extremely small. The Lord Stanley's Mug Pens Mega Patch maybe? Sure, that'll do.
5. Land a premium 1/1 I've missed out on in the past.
I have a specific target in mind for this - the fraternal twin of my newest 1/1. Can I pull it off? Remains to be seen.
6. Try to help hobby friends where possible.
Will always try unless/until they tell me not to
My best to each and every one of you with your own hobby goals.
