What a FUN 2016 ---- Can't say a particular card, but how about a set !!
![]() In January I sold my 520 T206 set (privately). It was a very nice, consistent set that was all Piedmont or Sweet Caporal (of course, other than Demmitt and O'Hara). I went for condition over back variety. It was fun, but it was done. After selling, I thought I might take some time off. That lasted maybe two weeks !!! Decided to jump back in, but this time go for more back variety. Backs other than commons, and some mid-tier. After 10 months of buying lots, sorting, keeping, selling, trading, etc, now back up to 519 (missing O'Hara ….. one day).It's been a great experience with back collecting. I have learned a ton about the set, and have a “no end in sight” out look for the future. At first I thought a third would be cool. The realized that half wasn't so unreasonable. Now sit at 75% overall, 60% HOF. ![]() American Beauty 350 w/frame – 32 American Beauty 350 no frame – 1 American Beauty 460 – 3 Cycle 350 – 19 Cycle 460 – 1 EPDG – 29 Hindu – 3 Old Mill Baseball Subjects – 29 Old Mill Southern League – 44 Polar Bear – 62 Piedmont 460 / 42 – 3 Sweet Caporal 150 / 649OP – 33 (Gilbert please !!!!!!)

Posting 6 cards might be cheating, but these guys really stand out from my 2016: Cobb*2, Jennings*2, Kelly, and Chance.

Picked this up late in the year. Not many out there for sure, and the first card with Joe D. as a Yankee. From the 1936 series.
