What is your best card you added to your collection in 2013?

[Joe_G.]

I'm going to break the rule and post several items that I was able to add to my core collection over 2013 and give thanks to those who made it possible. I've split them into two pics, the large items and the small items.

Among others, thank you Jay Miller, Gary Passamonte, Ted Brown (N175), Toby Peterson (both N172 Conway cards), and Brian Hodes (N172 Deacon White). The Deacon is off-condition but can't be too choosy when trying to collect all the poses. The other items came from eBay and auction houses.

I was able to pick up a couple Detroit scorecards this year but the attached copy is from a home game in 1887. Finding Detroit scorecards with Detroit on the road is easy, finding a home game scorecard, tough.

The Sam Thompson cabinet is nice but hope to trade it for a Detroit example down the road (or buy Detroit/sell Philly). It has been a great 2013 and its not over yet!

Good year.....

Not technically a card, but my favorite none-the-less. Knowing I was having trouble finding one I liked in my price range, my wife painted this for me for my birthday as a "place-holder".

Hey Conor, that's quite good.
Can your wife paint a T206 Wagner for me?

Joe, John--thanks

"Jay,
You should have told me you were looking for that one; I have three of them."

Jim: Given the cards in your collection I wouldn't doubt it.

I am in love with that Cobb steel tubes postcard image. What a badass pose. Awesome piece. Some great Cobbs in this thread.
