2) Been wanting an Art Adams piece for years. My number one collecting goal for the year is to acquire a nice Adams piece that fits in my collection. Even going so far as to sell off a bunch of ancillary items in the collection to help fund it.
3) If I get the Adams out of the way, I'd also like a nice Anacleto piece.
4) A broad-ranging goal....just want to add some more nice Valkyrie, Gamora, Medusa, and possibly a couple of Harley Quinn published pages to the collection. Nothing super-expensive, just some nice examples. More Pelletier pages would be great.
That's it for the year!

Well, its been another year. It seems I did manage goal #1 pretty well this year. I bought less than 10 pieces in a year for the collection for the first time probably since I started collecting (2001).
Goal #2...no dice so far. Didn't have the funds saved, and did not come across a piece worth going into debt over.
Goal #3...I sort of got a start on this...I set up an Anacleto Harley Quinn commission, but no idea when that might be completed.
Goal #4...I added a Clay Mann Valkyrie page that had been on my CAF Want List for a few years, so that was a score. Also added my first Jim Lee page (and it was a splash of Harley riding on a Man-Bat!). Didn't think I'd have the opportunity to acquire a Jim Lee piece that fit my collection, so it never even occurred to me to add it to the Resolutions for the year...but that is pretty much a resolution of a decade finally completed. A couple of other nice Harley pages added, as well as a big faux cover commission from Tom Grummett that I'd been meaning to get for a couple years. So, while the quantity went down this year, I still managed to pick up some pieces that really hit the spot in my collection.
