Default 2012 - A very good year
Great pick ups everyone!

While I don't collect a lot of cards, I did have a number of very nice pick ups this year, but my favorite card pick up is the 1934 Goudey autographed by KiKi Cuyler.
It is not only my favorite because of what it is, but also because of how I got it.
I won't bore those of you who read the story on the autograph forum before, but here's a link to the story if you're interested in reading it.



I hope everyone has a Great Christmas, New Year, Chanukah, and all the holidays celebrated this time of year. I wish you all a very healthy and prosperous 2013.

Best,
Mark

Default No better dealer than Mr. MaCrae
Great cards (and kids) everyone...my best pickup was the 1924 Zeenut Bernard of Vernon. I had been down to three cards to complete the 1924 set for about six years. Early in the year I was able to pick up a E.Baldwin from Mark M. (a PCL collector's best friend), and then come summertime he had the Paul Waner (a card I thought might forever elude me).

You would think the Waner would be my favorite pickup (it is a cool, pre-major league HOF'er and fairly tough card to come by)...then, why the Bernard is the favorite, you ask? Because when informed that I only needed one card to complete the 1924 set, he threw the Bernard in for free.

Thanks Mark for making my second job (vintage bb card collecting) that much easier.

Brian

Great stuff, all! I knew this would be a thread with major eye candy content.

The T3 Cobb was it for me this year (thanks, Craig), but the E93 Matty was pretty cool, too.

Joe,

Congrats, those are two beautiful babies. Hopefully, you wouldn't trade them for my high grade Delahanty, either... even with the higher overhead.

Cheers

No worries, Rob. That card belongs in your collection.

You do need a better scan though!

Try this one instead.

I have wanted a red cobby with nice color, centering and focus for a long time. The oversized borders were icing on the cake for me.
