Probably my favorite pickup just because I love the 56 Koufax!

Great thread Adam.

I have been looking for the 68 Uniroyal Bench card forever. Pretty much figured I might not ever find one. Then all of a sudden this popped up. Then I managed to find the complete Uniroyal set in the album shortly after that. Funny how you think you will never land something and then all of sudden two opportunities present themselves so close together.

Had been searching for about 30 years - full story in a thread I started when I got it a few months back. Still "floating" about it.

I found myself buying more 50's/60's this year due to the escalation of many pre-war cards. I decided to re-acquire some of my favorites I sold off to help fund my pre-war purchases many years ago.

'57 Mays. Such a tough card to find with nice eye appeal. This one checks all the boxes for me.



'61 Aaron. This pose has always been a favorite. Very different from the rest of Aaron cards.



An impulse buy that I have no regrets about. The clarity of this postcard is awesome. And I've always liked the pose. I was some what surprised at the relatively low population number.

This is probably my favorite post war pick up from this year. It was my first ever "big card" purchase after returning to the hobby.

I've struggled with this question but I've concluded that picking up my last 3 cards to finish my 52 Topps low number run was likely the collecting highlight of 2020 for me.

I have also picked up some other great cards this year including my Page bio back/err on a 52 Topps Johnny Sain card, but I can't leave out some of the great hockey card purchases I made prior to the huge price increases everyone is now familiar with.
Real happy with those and my decision to pursue some of the cards I had in my youth.
