Best Acquisition for 2006
Posted By: Mike Peich
I know we have all acquired a number of great items in the past year, but what would you single out as your best collecting acquisition for 2006? And, just as importantly, is there an interesting story attached to the card/item? |

Nothing overly interesting about the acquisition. I played in a father's day poker tourney, finished 2nd, and used the earnings to pay for a large portion of the card. |

Wow Mike - I'm not sure how to respond to this because my collection kind of exploded into different types in 2006. Prior to that I had kind of putzed around with mainstream tobacco issues of Detroit players. So I won't answer the question directly as asked, but instead note that in 2006 I got my first ever card of the following issues: |

I know I've showed this on the First January Pickup Thread but it has to be my best though the 1911 Zeenut Weaver and the 1911 Obak Weaver are close seconds. |

My Best Acquisition for 2006 (that will go in my collection)was a PM1 Matty because it got me hooked on Pins! Plus I always wanted a PM1. |

This is easy for me to answer. It's my 1907 Fun and Frolic with an Indian Ball Team book. I had been searching a very long time to find this book and the best part about it was that I got it cheap because it was listed poorly and my major competition for Nebraska Indians items either didn't see it or didn't need it. |

My Cobb Bat On was the years nicest and most expensive snag. It was also the last of the four Cobbs I needed for my T206 subset. |

I picked up some nice vintage in 06 including a 14'CJ W.Johnson, E98 Mack with blue background, and 35'Chicle Nagurski.....but in terms of best pick-up it's gotta be this rose. THREE years searching for an example uncut and in this kind of condition, and somehow managing to not get outsniped! When you wait so long for a card, it sure is sweet!!! |

I acquired the other half of a small Richmond, Virginia find in 2006. There were 85 t205s and t206s in the lot. These were actually dug out from a kitchen trashcan at the seller's uncle's house. Here are a few of better ones. |

There has been so many changes to my collection in the past twelve months. My favorite pickup though is probably the N172 Wright. |

Those last two cards of Wesley's and Jim's are just exceptional, and if ever a card could be called a cornerstone of a collection - surely the N172 Wright is it.....while the E98 Young is an absolute screamer. If borders are possible that wide all round, surely every other E98 card I've ever seen has been trimmed post manufacture.....? |

In some ways, my best acquisitions would have to be the N172 McPhee and Cuban HOFers I picked up to bring my HOF collection as close to completion as possible. But I think these two are the cards I will enjoy the most: |
