Your best "gift" this year--that is, card you got in great deal
No need to supply dollar details, just describe how you picked up a cool card at great price thanks to luck or research or just staying alert...

I thought I lucked out pretty well on this Esterbrook. It's a script series card with no team designation, which I think makes it one of the first cards issued in the Old Judge series and could possibly date to Fall 1886, pre-dating the majority of the set.
Besides that it's got a much nicer image in person and is a card of one of the game's greatest eccentrics and best nicknames:

hidden in plain sight
Shown before... pictured in an auction house lot and the person scanning/photographing actually turned the card so it was NOT upside down to take a picture of the back (so that the back was the same as all of the other backs in the scan/photo). I was fairly certain it was an upside down back... extremely excited when I received it.

Probably doesn't satisfy the "alert" notion of this thread as it wasn't until after I bought this I realized how rare this guy is......And I bought it for a song.
Elite 8 T206 with a 350 back.....and a rarity card to boot.

Had been looking for clean example over the last few years and an inquiry into another card unintentionally led to the opportunity to pick this up.

All I need is the green Cobb twin to Young and I'll be happy.
