What 1 card are you most thankfull for acquiring in 2014?

[EvilKing00]

Mine would have to be the Ruth eclipse - I have always wanted one, but anytime I saw any for sale they were all out of my price range - till I found this beauty! lol

I'm already breaking the rules, I know, but I can't name just one when I was lucky enough to win both of these at the same time--scarce promo cards from the already tough Successful Farming set:

I was lucky enough to win my fifth different BF2 Tinker. I got smoked on an orange one I needed on ebay last monthso I know I can have at least six different

I have been extremely fortunate this year and have picked up a number of great cards that have long been on my want list. However, if I had to choose, it would be one of these two. I just don't know which one.

[kkkkandp]

So far...

[t206hound]

thankful to get this one this year:

[Luke]

It's been a good year for my sets and Hindu HOFers. I'm most thankful for these two. I was in the right place at the right time to get each of these in a straight sale at a fair price from a board member:

Happy Thanksgiving neighbours!

Only twice has this type of error become available in the last 10 years, both times I was the bridesmaid. Acquired it from a collector who never needs to sell a card. Very thankful.

Shown many times.

I am always thankful to pick up a Nebraska Indians item that I didn't have, but especially when it's an item I'd not seen before.

Not prewar or worth more than $1 but this card was my white whale for 20+ years. It is the 89 Fleer Wade Boggs on the right without the print spot after Throws Right on the back of the card. Still looking for an extra for a fellow Boggs collector so if anyone has one please let me know.

I am very thankful to have picked this big one up this year.

[x2drich2000]

I think these would be the two that I'm most thankful to have picked up this year.

I am most Thankful for David's (Kawika) generosity in helping me close out a 16 year mission with the final card needed to complete my T210 Series 8 Tennessee sub-set of 41 players. This beauty arrived yesterday.

Thank you David!

No 1 specific card but my score of 5 1921 E121 cards in July and my T207 Saier in August.

[Leon]

I had several pretty good pickups and this one probably tops the list.

...Eight years searching......my pre-war Les Scarsella Master Set is now finally complete because I now have both cards.....life is good.

From the 2014 Vermont "Find" of 1948 Bowman Series 1 cards. Now I'm off to find that Series 2 cache!

Jeff, your celeb auto collection is in another dimension.

[Fred]

Jeff, do you have a JSA LOA for that guitar?

Now that's a cool item!

[yanksfan09]

No luck on the D381 search for me so far this year but I basically finished my 1915 cracker jack set. Probably am most grateful for either the Mathewson I just picked up or the Honus Wagner cracker jack. Also had a few nice additions to my Ruth collection including the e121 80 George Ruth variation .

Erick-- normally the internet is where things get taken all out of context, but I know exactly what ya mean so all good, brotha!

[leaflover]

I know it's just cardboard but....I had to have it!

[triwak]

These two. 1933 Philadelphia Stars PC with Jud Wilson & Biz Mackey. And finally nabbed a Deacon.

[Sean]

Definitely this card. Last year at this time I didn't even know that it existed.

One of my favorite cards ...

[JLange]

I am thankful for this one!

I was most thankful to add this card to my collection this year. Thanks to a fellow board member that gave me first crack at it when he decided to sell

Very thankful to upgrade this one:

[Michael Peich]

I am thankful for two cards.

The first one because the T209-2 of Evans is scarce, and postcards of any T209 player's pose are crazy scarce.

And the second one because it's one of the coolest images in the T210 set.


Cheers,
Mike

Ruth Kashin, my 17th (or is it 18th?) Ruth card from his playing days.

Baseball been berry-berry good to me in 2014. Had an essload of great pickups. Two of the best were a couponed Oana Zeenut and a 1909 Obak Mohler. One of my very first pickups when I started collecting vintage was a beater of Prince Oana whom my Dad had worshiped as a boy at old Rec Park in San Fran in the '20s. Always wanted an intact one - only took me fifteen years. I traded with our late departed mate Anthony Stephenson (a hell of a guy whom I really miss) for Kid Mohler, the tough last card to complete a subset of horizontal 1909 Obaks. Rest in peace, amigo.

[cracker_jack]

If Heritage decides to ship it to me....I upgraded my favorite card in the hobby.
I'm thankful because my wife let me do it

[jcc6252]

I am thankful to have acquired these beautiful and tuff Sport Kings.

[Greenmonster]

A new favorite added this year to the postcard collection.

[yanksfan09]

That postcard is amazing!

[chipperhank44]

I was lucky enough to pick up this 1906 Sporting Life Cubs Team PC. Not only is it the only copy graded by any TPG (last I checked) but it also has a very scarce ad stamp on the reverse.

Best part: I picked it up in a lot. After selling the other items in the lot, I have less that $100 into this card!

[Bicem]

Awesome pc Jim!

[Jason Carota]

Nice one, Jim!

[Epps]

Really Happy to pick this guy up real early this year. Been looking for him for awhile.

Jeff, that's a gorgeous example. I think i missed it since it is catalogued as 06-07 instead of just '06.
