What are your 2012 collecting goals?

As I’ve grown as a collector, I’ve learned that setting goals is a good way to maintain focus, which ultimately helps you build a better collection.

With that in mind, have you set goals for 2012 and written them down? What are they?

Kubek does a few signings each year. Keep your eyes peeled... You'll get him eventually.

As a U2 fan, this set of autographs just about represents the holy grail. If I was single or thought I had a shot at getting it at a great price (i.e. under a grand), I'd be bidding away. I am looking to add a vintage example to my collection, but this might not be the year. I'm fairly certain this is from Christmas of 1980 and is just about the oldest example of the band's signatures I've seen.

I think this auction will end well north of $2000, so, unless I want to sleep outside, I'll have to pass. Hence, this may represent a "dream" more than a goal.

I set a goal at the beginning of the year to save a little extra money for a Vincent Price signed photo in October. Two months to go and it looks like it will happen.
