Default Post your favorite Post War addition for 2016 - only ONE

May not be the most expensive addition, but rather your favorite.

I retooled my entire collection from about this time last year to present. Added and subtracted hundreds of cards along the way .... still a work in progress, which is the fun part.

Here is my favorite addition for 2016:

1954RHMantle.jpg

This card that presents so much higher than the actual grade, and it is one of the most attractive Mantle cards ever created. Just my opinion.

Looking forward to seeing a lot of cards!

It was a tough choice for me as I had three contenders for the top spot.
I went with this.

It's missing the coupon at the bottom, but as soon as I saw the hot dog stains, I realized this bargain-priced "Frank Robinson photo" was actually his real rookie card.

As I collect 1933-1980, my top pickup was a little before our postwar cutoff.

Easy choice for me. While the card itself isn't a 2016 pickup, the sig is brand spankin' new. Took one of my top 5 favorite cards and made it THE favorite. Note: I also have an unsigned PSA 5 that's a nicer card, but this copy I got signed will always have sentimental value, as it was a Christmas gift from my sons.

Default My Favorite of 2016!

Was a tough decision for my top pickup this year as I added some really nice Billy Williams cards to my collection, but to have had the opportunity to buy this 1964 Venezuelan Topps in such good condition (and acting on it) ranks it right towards the top of my list! Thanks again Josh!

Wow that's an amazing card! I'm slowly chipping away at the 64 Venz set, but none of my HOFers are graded higher than a 2. Congrats on owning a beauty!

Gotta go with this one; never came across a 69 Mick centered like it.

It took seeing this post for me to learn Yaz came up as a second baseman! Great pickup!

Great thread, it's fun to see what everyone is the most excited to have added to their collections this year. I'll have to go with Pee Wee.

Beautiful Musial! Maybe the nicest I've seen! Funny how the pose is a near mirror image of the Berk Ross Joe DiMaggio just posted.
