Welp, there's always the default Focus I suppose

Ok, since my default Focus since 2005 has been graded rookie cards, as of this typing, that seems what this years focus is going to be at The National.   

I have compiled a wish list of graded rookie cards that I do not own.
Here is that list:

(of course this list is never 100% and changes often)

1939 - Ted Williams
1948 - Musial, Berra
1949 - Hodges, J Robinson, Snider
1950 - 
1951 - Irvin, Mantle, Mays
1952 - Mathews
1953 - Paige 
1954 - Aaron, Banks, Kaline
1955 - Clemente, Koufax
1956 - Aparicio 
1957 - Bunning, Drysdale, Maz, B Robinson
1958 - Maris
1959 - 
1960 - 
1961 - Marichal
1962 - 
1963 - Staub
1964 - Niekro
1965 - Hunter
1966 - Jenkins, Palmer
1967 - Carew, Seaver
1968 - 
1969 - Jackson, Oliver
1970 - Munson
1971 - 
1972 - 
1973 - 
1974 - 
1975 - Brett Mini, Carter Mini, Hernandez, Rice Topps, Mini
1976 - 
1977 - Murphy
1978 - 
1979 - 
1980 - 
1981 - Gibson, Fernando
1982 - 
1983 - Kittle Fleer
1984 - Fleer Update Puckett
1984 - Topps Tiffany Gooden, Mattingly, Strawberry
1985 - Topps Tiffany Gooden
1986 - Topps Tiffany Bonds, Canseco, Clark, Bo Jackson
1987 - Fleer Maddux, Fleer Glossy Bo Jackson, Maddux
1987 - Topps Tiffany Maddux, Matt Williams
1988 - Score Glossy Biggio
1988 - Topps Tiffany Glavine 
1989 - Bowman Tiffany Griffey, Smoltz
1989 - Fleer Glossy Biggio, Griffey, Johnson, Smoltz
1989 - Topps Tiffany Biggio, Griffey, Johnson, Smoltz 

I've been bouncing idea back and forth in my head about a new focus, and nothing seems to stick.  That means that they aren't meant to be.

I've thought about doing: 

- a run of complete O-Pee-Chee Baseball sets.
- PSA 9 runs of all Topps and OPC base cards of Brett and Schmidt.

Of course I still have a few more weeks and the way my brain works, things change around a bazzillion times a day, so who the heck knows anymore? lol

If you're reading this.....first off, I appreciate it, I really do, and secondly, if you've got any input I'd love to hear it.

Thanks for the read,
Eric

  1. In '78, you have the very cool foursome that would become the '84 World Series champions. Trammell (also has Molitor), Whitaker, Morris, and Parrish.
