Your Favorite Pick Up of 2016
Stealing this idea from the memorabilia side. What's your favorite card-related pickup of 2016? Just got this in the mail today, and I couldn't be happier:

My favorite pickup of the year was the T210 OB set in the REA Spring auction. As for a single card I would say this upgrade.

I'm not necessarily a card collector but rather fond of this pick up from late 2016.

I had my mind set for a while to get one of these, so was happy to get it this year - my favorite pickup of 2016!

Probably my Red Kuhn T207 with a Cycle back

This is probably my favorite pickup.

Easy choice for me this year as I have maybe bought 3-4 cards this year.

This was my favorite because before I saw it, I didn't know it was something I needed for my Dots Miller collection

OK, I'm going to cheat and post my favorite pickups (plural).
The following N173 allowed me to complete the "Big 4" that I previously posted about here. Detroit N173s all date to 1888 and required either 35 or 25 certificates/coupons to obtain (pending when they were ordered) which brings me to another favorite pick-up. The following coupons all date to 1888 with the bottom three being unknown to me before this year and now reside in my collection. These are tough, some of them may be unique. Lastly, further progress was made on the N333 Newsboy front including an N333 of Burden together with his studio proof and another Detroit! Anymore, my collecting focus can lead to several month cold spells where nothing turns up but 2016 was a great year. Thank you to Henry Moses, REA, LOTG, & eBay! |

One of these, they are both fun to have. There are several others I love, it has been a very good year. Added many to my T211s and D310s, started on E104s (especially with Nadja backs), D304s, and my first N321, T214 and T4. Oh, and how could I forget getting my 1911 Zeenut Halla and Fullerton (along with several other toughies, thanks Rhett)? I have to count my blessings, other things have been pretty tough this year, but card collecting has been great. Merry Christmas to you all.

All around I've had a very blessed 2016. It's very difficult for me to single out one particular card as a favorite, however, there's something about fat bordered T206's that keep me coming back for more.

EDJS, I can't t believe the 1911 Zeenut Halla didn't make the cut! :D I'm kidding, your pickups are always some of my favorites-- you really have a good eye for the obscure stuff!
Joe, your stuff is always fun to check out, I love the Hess Newsboy studio cabinet! My favorite for 2016 is probably the following (with coupon)... http://www.starsofthediamond.com/13zeeheilman.jpg |
BTW Joe, only crazy people collect the 19th Century Tobacco Coupons that were used for redemptions!

great thread idea. I started the year off with a bang and ended it with a big bang!

Very nice! |

by the way, Rhett, I am absolutely loving that '13 Zeenut of Heilmann! I hadn't seen one with a coupon before! Great pick-up! |
I think these would be my 2 favorites for the year even though they really don't fit with what I normally collect.

My favorite is this Shag by far and away--was hunting for months for one to come up. Nailed it for less than 60 bucks in the end! http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...sy-old-mill-sl |
My favorite pick up this year. Waiting a long time for one that was affordable but looked like it should have cost twice as much:

All things considered...this guy!

I am a low budget collector so always looking to acquire a bargain which mostly means lesser condition and less desirable issues. For pre-war that has steered me towards the premiums of the mid 30s. I purchased this Goudey Wide Pen raw off eBay and submitted to SGC as part of a special. Total cost (including grading/shipping) ended up less than $30. Great image of a HOFer. Same pose as his '33 card and a fraction of what a similar condition example of that issue would have cost me.

Complete set of T51 Murad College series from Kit Young on eBay. Graded from PSA 4s all the way up to PSA 8s, a great investment at only $6/card. Helped me get down to needing 10 cards for the Master Set.
Many of them have been graded and added to this set: http://www.psacard.com/PSASetRegistr...x?setid=187482 |

I have two favorites. The WaJo completed my hands-at-chest back run (outside of the BL 460, T214, T215 Pirate, and T215-1, if it exists). The T207 is just a great card with history...and I had the opportunity to sit down with its previous owner for beers and a good dinner to receive the card. :)

This 1939 Play Ball Ted Williams rookie with a very slight trim was my favorite card pick up this year.

Only a few cards this year, saving for a wedding.
Regretted not being more aggressive when bidding on this card at REA so decided to not let it go a second time. |
T211 Pratt
2 Attachment(s)
I've worked on collecting Del Pratt cards because of his University of Alabama connection (my PhD is from Alabama). Little did I know how tough some of his cards would be (e.g., 1914 Cracker Jack). The T211 is very tough. I'm still looking for a T210-8.
