Favorite 2015 Pick-Ups (Year in Review)

[pherbener]

First of all, thanks to this board for reintroducing me to the hobby I loved decades ago. I found this place in 2015 and quickly rediscovered my passion for the hobby. Prior to this year, I focused only on cards but now I buy more tickets and type I photos than anything. I especially love the original Conlon images. My favorite 2015 pickup is this Conlon Matty "His favorite photo". I live just outside of Factoryville, Pa. (Matty's birthplace). I've learned so much this past year and I thank all the board members that helped me add to my collection. My 10 year old son made his first pilgrimage to Cooperstown with me this year and is getting the collecting bug himself. Hence the Mike Trout and Claude Giroux autographs on his Christmas wish list!

It was kind of a slow year for me, looking forward to a better 2016....If I had to pick my absolute favorite for the year....wow....I guess the Bridwell MINO, but a close second is the Uzit...or the Oaks...or....I also must say, I think I got all these this year, but it is hard to remember if they were this year or 2014. My memory gets kind of fuzzy sometimes. Also, I want to thank so many of you all for helping me with my collecting goals, and most of all Leon for providing this board to learn, share, and display. It has been an interesting year.

Was always content with 520, but sometimes you just gott'a go for it

Started my second attempt at E90-1 run, very, very happy to knock off some "toughies" early

Damn I'm jealous of that Speaker. I've been trying to find one like that for a long time.

Or did you request it that way?

Either way .... Wow.

Awesome stuff so far (Chris, that 2 player split is amazing)...this should be a great thread.

I was very happy to get this back into my collection...

Count me as jealous of the Speaker also... Nice pick ups

Wanted a Jim McCormick for quite a while, so I was really happy to land this one - the fact that it is a Gypsy Queen is makes it even nicer!

Also a pretty good year for me with M101-6s - here are a few I picked up...

I didn't make any headway on my miller run...but added this gem.

Here are a few more favorites...and I added a bunch of other 50's star cards.
