Lose 50 pounds starting now. I’m 304 right now so 250 is the target.

Pokémon wise, sell a bunch of my spares and pick up 3 PSA 10 Shadowless and or 1st Ed Base Charizards…any combination.

Unfortunately I am a sucker for many of the modern Japanese set boxes. I love to open the packs, but I always seem to pull the dude SR cards. So in 2020, I want to start saving more money and trying to mostly focus on the Japanese promo cards. I feel like, at least in the case of modern, buying the promos is good value because they are in many cases Japanese exclusive art and usually, at the very least, maintain their value, but in some cases increase exponentially, like the Scream Promos.

I want to submit my first ever PSA submission! And then probably finish up my binder of Jungle, Fossil, and Rocket sets! That sure would feel good :blush:

By the end of 2019 I’m hoping I’ll be able to finish my Japanese binder sets up through e series 1.

For 2020 I’ll want to complete Japanese binder sets up through e series 5 and my English binder sets up through Team Rocket. After that I will likely focus on getting 1 each of every Japanese booster pack up through e series 5 and build my Discworld stamp collection back up. I sold all my single stamps and most of my mini sheets/first day covers to fund the beginning of my Pokemon card collecting and I’m regretting that severely recently.

Almost have reached a point where I am content with my collection, however there is still some streamlining that needs to be done

To quit juuling and to start jogging again.

Pokémon wise, I will probably start another PSA 9 WOTC holo set. I’m almost done with 1st edition jungle PSA 9 holos (my 2019 goal). Maybe I’ll go for base set 2 this year lol!? I definitely plan on picking up some more WOTC blisters also!

I didnt set my 2020 goals yet, still considering what should i actually go for after completing Base Set 1st Ed. PSA9.

Im really considering Japanese Fan Club Cards in either PSA9 or 10; in the other hand i could see myself saving some money to get a couple sealed booster boxes (Rocket’s Fossil and Jungle).

But yeah, pretty much that!

Im still hunting last 2 1st Ed. PSA10 Shinings i need to complete my set and i’d love to get them (Steelix and Gyarados) before Dec31 2019 :stuck_out_tongue:!

Complete a PSA 10 set of Neo shining and E series crystal cards.
Try to pull the ultimate rare ojama king or find one graded in a 10, and scoop up the Topps sparkle Gengar psa 10 if it ever hits the market.
