Your Favorite Pick Up of 2016

[ruth-gehrig]

I'm not necessarily a card collector but rather fond of this pick up from late 2016.

I had my mind set for a while to get one of these, so was happy to get it this year - my favorite pickup of 2016!

This is probably my favorite pickup.

Red Kuhn T207 with a Cycle back.

Easy choice for me this year as I have maybe bought 3-4 cards this year.

This was my favorite because before I saw it, I didn't know it was something I needed for my Dots Miller collection

One of these, they are both fun to have. There are several others I love, it has been a very good year. Added many to my T211s and D310s, started on E104s (especially with Nadja backs), D304s, and my first N321, T214 and T4. Oh, and how could I forget getting my 1911 Zeenut Halla and Fullerton (along with several other toughies, thanks Rhett)? I have to count my blessings, other things have been pretty tough this year, but card collecting has been great. Merry Christmas to you all.

OK, I'm going to cheat and post my favorite pickups (plural).

The following N173 allowed me to complete the "Big 4" that I previously posted about here.

Detroit N173s all date to 1888 and required either 35 or 25 certificates/coupons to obtain (pending when they were ordered) which brings me to another favorite pick-up. The following coupons all date to 1888 with the bottom three being unknown to me before this year and now reside in my collection. These are tough, some of them may be unique.

Lastly, further progress was made on the N333 Newsboy front including an N333 of Burden together with his studio proof and another Detroit!

Anymore, my collecting focus can lead to several month cold spells where nothing turns up but 2016 was a great year. Thank you to Henry Moses, REA, LOTG, & eBay!
