However, that lack of a value component may have made me feel like something wasn't quite there - as far as chasing any number of miscellaneous cards down.
Collecting topics / mini-collections - I wanted to make this my centerpiece card project in 2016, but when it's all about having to scrutinize all sorts of cards, it kind of just mushroomed into busy work for me as opposed to being able taking the time to enjoy the actual cards under whatever mini-collection I listed them.
I'd like to put away any cards I have into their permanent storage boxes as opposed to letting cards sit in what has become semi-permanent storage spots - I'm probably looking for that one or two mini-collection to store in a binder, so I can go through the cards.
Award winners - I'm not worried about this project at all, though it would be nice to have this finished up through the current year.
Angels frankenset - I started this in 2015, but seemed to put the project on hold in 2016, so I'm still looking to finish my first run [1-500] of cards.
Angels Opening Day set - I started this in 2016 and looking to fill holes to complete more years.
Hall of Famers - I impulsively started this project in 2016, though I may quietly put on hold or on hiatus, until I get a chance to add to the collection randomly.
Milestone numbers [500 home runs/3000 hits/300 wins] - I'm going to see what I can add, but it really is just base cards and/or a basic insert.
1978-present Topps run - this may have been the project where I said, 'this really isn't going anywhere.'
I want to pick things up 'organically' as opposed to having a checklist and seeking out cards I want for this project - this project is kind of out of sight, out of mind, though I'll probably come back to it at some undetermined point.
I'm totally with you with the collecting "organically". In the past, I've always used lists... but last year most of the cards I purchased off eBay and COMC were cards I saw that day and liked. Not all. But definitely most of them.
