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!

I agree with your no. 1 and 2---reigning in those "side purchases" that I buy on impulse. It's hard when you get caught up at a show and start buying things like that or even when certain artists start taking lists Guilty as charged but really trying to do better and be aware of that here in 2017. An Art Adams piece would be pretty amazing for me too--was hoping he'd be coming to Heroes this year but that doesn't appear to be happening. One day....
Otherwise, my big goals for 2017:
-A nice John Buscema Conan or Avengers page of OA
-A Tim Sale Dark Phoenix
-A Terry Dodson Dark Phoenix
-More Invisibles OA
-A Grant Morrison written Animal Man page of OA
-Less impulsive purchases---"Quality over Quantity" is my mantra!
-Post the backlog of amazing art I've yet to post to CAF.
-Get a better scanner.
-Renew my CAF premium membership--it's really worth it to support that site that I get so much use out of and spend so much time on.
-Post more here! I love being a part of all of this-I want to engage more in the dialogue here, start a thread or two myself, and chime in more.
-Get to one more big show beyond Heroes and local shows here in Charleston.
