Jeff, slow down. You are almost worse than I am, and that's saying something!! Those are some great cards, congrats. Now you know how it goes.....that was this year and it's almost done..your next year quota is higher. Good luck.

Ugh, definitely slowing down in 2012 -- hopefully both of us can lessen our addictions!

These two pinbacks were my favorite pick-ups of 2011...





But these cabinets are right up there...





And just received this pack with all 10 cigarettes present...

I am always excited to discover a previously unknown Nebraska Indians postcard...the seller did not know these players were from Green's Nebraska Indians..and I had to set my photobucket to private last week so nobody else would figure it out.



I knew as soon as I saw the auction that these guys played for the NI because I already had this postcard in my collection..same uniforms and same exact photo studio.

Great pickups everyone, loving the uncut OBAK (?) sheet, giant Cobb PC and first T205 Drum I have seen!

Started collecting Ts in May, felt I needed to make up for lost time Finding a VG-EX O'Hara in a lot was a memorable one.

Getting harder and harder to keep getting new signed T206s. I added this Lena Blackburne to my collection in 2011. It's an absolute blazer, including a lush signature -- and it's my only Sovereign signed T206.



Honorable mention for best 2011 finds goes to Mrs. Jane Mathewson and Mrs. Blanche McGraw, originally from the Jeff Morey collection:

CalvinDog ( Jeff). I love that 1910 HC Hubel Postcard of Cobb. First time I've ever seen this postcard or set. Does it come from a set ? Or a stand alone ? Not listed in the Standard Catalog. Thanks Mike
