I like your stats; i've got a low grade collection as well, at 518 (missing Cobb bat off, but have Demmitt StL). I've lost track of my first card, and don't know if I have a favorite, but my personal notes would include:
- Reprints mistakenly bought: 1 - Ed Foster. It wasn't even a good reprint, I just didn't look at the scan closely.
- Card I bid the most times on before I won it: Ray Ryan - I was stubborn and wouldn't spend more than $30 on it and went a couple years of semi-active bidding before I got it.
- Number of times screwed in trades: twice, once on the old board (anyone remember Brandon Rusnak?), once here (I think the guy may have died, he just disappeared from the board, and had been active prior... was just a couple of beater dupes)
- Card that I thought I owned for years, but did not: Dahlen, Brooklyn. The Boston version must have tricked me one day...
