Very good collecting year!
After having a down year in 2016, 2017 started out with a bang for me. I had a very solid collecting year for 2017.
In January, I added a large photo of Claude Berry, which originated from his estate. The photo was the source photo used in his 1912 Home Run Kisses card.
I added a couple of colored S74 silks in January and February of Red Dooin and Bill Bergen, respectively. I have been slowly working on a project showing all of the catchers that have both a colored S74s silk and a T205. Need just a couple of S74 silks to complete my run of catchers in the colored S74 set, namely Peaches Graham and Admiral Schlei. They are on my 2018 wantlist.
In March, I picked up a Peaches Graham E90-1 for an incredible price.
In April, I picked up an Ade Thoss T210-6 to complete my run of catchers "wearing chest protectors" in the T210 Old Mill set.
May's highlight was picking up a Chief Meyers art photo.
Picked up quite a few of the catchers in the P2 pin set this year, and also added a bunch of T205.
In addition, I added a super nice BF2 of Chief Meyers in November.
Modest goals for 2018:
Looking to add a few S74 catcher silks, a few T202 Chief Meyers Triple Folders, perhaps a T207 Irving Lewis.
