Best/Favorite pick-ups of 2012
Well, this is the only Baseball category that didn't have best of thread. So here goes...
First off the '82 AS Program Insert Ripken, because I'd been looking a while for an affordable one. Second, the 1997 Roy Halladay Bowman Chrome Refractor, because it was generically listed and got it cheaper than what most Halladay non-refractor's go for. And the 2001 Donruss Phenoms Victor Martinez, because reasonably affordable ones never come up, and I caught a crazy low BIN right after it was listed.. |

Nice cards, guys. Really like the Boggs/Sandberg rookie autos.
Here's my favorite of the year (I remember when we, as kids, first got our hands on a Sport American price guide, around '81-'82. This card was a cool $5 at the time -- a king's ransom for an 11 yr old kid). Last edited by CW; 12-27-2012 at 07:55 PM. |

i got back into modern cards this year (for all sports) and it's been a blast picking up cards i collected as a kid...now signed. hard to differentiate which are the favorites, some of the best ones i haven't even scanned.

I stopped buying and subbing modern last spring, but I had a relapse when Langes Sports stumbled upon some boxes of 1990 Donruss Test issues.
I picked up a dozen Aqueous Test, and three Blue/White Test. It was nice to be excited something modern again! The Blue/White Swift/Sax shown next the the Sax regular issue. |

I got my holy grail in 2012 (x2)!
Thanks to a fellow board member, I got my holy grail in 2012 - - a 1982 Topps Blackless Rickey Henderson (from the extremely rare C-sheet), a card I had spent over 10 years searching for!!
Then, shockingly, I found another in the same month, and "had" to buy it! Now I have two - one raw, one graded, both in fantastic condition!
