Thanks, Phil!

2012 pick ups
 

My best pickup of 2012!
 

Finally got my X-mas present in. It will go nicely
with the other three T206 Cobbs from the set.

Bill- thanks for not talking me into your SGC 84! I owe you!

Pete- Great Ruth.

Jason- Nice Cobb.

Thanks Mike; just grateful to have a wife who knows what I am looking for.

Yes, he does. :) And, yes, that's a sweet Cobb.

A VERY good year...
 

I was fortunate enough to pick up some good cards and memorabilia including a circa 1920s Cuban Stars photo with Eustaquio Pedroso pictured, but I was VERY fortunate to receive another blessing... My daughter McKinlee was born on December 17, 2012 at 4:44am.

congrats, Travis. Nice pickup and certainly one you'll remember ;)

Congrats Travis!! There goes your card budget though :).

One more, admittedly O/T:

Congrats Travis, look at all that hair! You'll probably find yourself, like me, more likely to scan Net54 in the middle of the night than daytime. The twins keep us busy pretty much around the clock.

Some great late season pickups
 

All received from board members and I have an even better one on the way. Thanks To Andy G., and Mike H. and Kevin M. for the ones on the way..

2012 pick ups
 

Attachment 82343

Just picked up the Green Cobb to go along with the other 3.

That's a nice looking quartet!

I did the same with recently picking up my Green Cobb! It has been the toughest and spendiest Cobb of the 4. Although mine aren't 4s, they do however do well for there assigned grades.

How does that "bat on" get a 2?!?

Too many names I guess.....Can't explain it.....I thought about sending it to PSA but I never have any luck with there "service". Thanks for helping me with getting the bat off!

2012 - a big year to attack biggest of my 520. Four beautiful 10s!

If you send it to PSA you will get a mc qualifier. SGC just lowers the grade. Not having all of the bottom name is why it lowered the grade.

No problem Jason. Nice Cobbs you got there!

Best pickup for me arrived in today's mail. Out of the recent Legendary auction, via David Bryan.

Just started collecting T206 over the summer, and I only have 18 so far. I have however tried to spread it out as far as the backs go. So far I have covered 3 out of 4 Piedmonts (guess which one I don't have):D. 3 out of 4 Sovereigns (guess which one I don't have):D. Tolstoi, Old Mill, EPDG, AB 350 w/ frame, Cycle 350 and Brown Hindu are the others. I've yet to pick up a Polar Bear, or a Sweet Caporal of any kind. More than half of my T206's were purchased right here on the Net 54 BST.

The Chase was one of my first purchases, the Lake is my toughest back to date. Honorable mention should go to a Willie Keeler portrait that I don't have a pic of. I don't have a scanner, and forgot to hijack one before it was deleted!

I don't post too much, but I just want to take a second to thank everyone here on Net54 who make this place possible/enjoyable. The mix of knowledge, passion, and kindness here is incredible. I wouldn't enjoy collecting these old cards half as much if it wasn't for this place. 2012 Was a great year for my collection. From T206 to 1990 Donruss Aqueous Test, and everything in between! Here is to an even better 2013 for all of us!

Now, on Monday night I want everyone to get drunk (except for you Wazoo!) But I don't want anyone to drive (including you Wazoo!) Have fun, and Happy New Year everybody!

Congratulations Travis

Best $100 I spent all year.

The Babe on 4th and 2nd.

My best pickup came on the last day of the year. I already released him from his tomb and he's breathing fresh Pennsylvania air. Matty and me are just sittin here chillin waiting for more name@top friends to join use. Thanks Denny.

Didn't pick up too many this year, but was very happy to score this one on eBay a few weeks ago (for what I thought was a great price) and no competition.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Regards,

Richard.

So hard to choose one card, so here are my highlights from the year 2012...

Wow that Orr test is awesome!

Nice Matty Doug. I too received my best pick up on the last day of the year. And it just happens to be a dark cap Matty as well.

2012
 

Tony A and Vincent, Beautiful additions for 2012 !!!

N162 Cap
 

Thanks Scott for a very nice transaction (along with several others). The Captain has just about become my collection favorite. I was holding out to post it with my other big 2012 pick up, but it's still in transit.. I guess 2013 will be off to a nice start when it arrives:D

My pleasure, Ian - glad you like it. Another pile of cards left for SF today!

I guess my favorite non-postcard card pick-up would be this Johnson portrait:

scott....
 

that johnson sheet number is :eek: awesome!

It's an AUT, but one of my favorites.

Cat

One of the best looking of the E107's. Nice AUT

Aguilitas Segundas Oms. Pretty hard to find.

Great card, Kenny.
