After having a really slow year last year, I have had a busy year this year.

Here are my 3 favorite pickups. All three are Home Run Kisses that I had never seen offered before.

Happy New Year to All!

Spend it on cards, it's tough to leave a tat to the grandkids.

2009 was a slow year in terms of collecting for me. However, I did publish my book this year and almost paid off all my credit cards! :)

In completing my E95 set, here is my only purchase of 2009. If all goes well, I'll have it paid off at the end of January!

White Borders 12-10-2009 08:30 PM
Great pickups everyone! Here's mine:

Some very nice pickups made by the board members this year.

For me, this is an easy choice.

That BG Chase is awesome! Congrats on picking up an amazing card!

Nice. Anyone ever see the Lajoie from this series offered at auction or for sale (or both, pray tell)?

great cards everybody...that Chase BG is amazing...his mitt looks like it has no padding!!!

A Lajoie was offered in a Goodwin auction a little while back.

Yes! And then, maybe two weeks later, it was offered for sale in someone's showcase at The National. I can't seem to recall who that might have been, but they sure were trying to flip it quickly!

Epps 12-11-2009 04:13 PM
I just meant to say that there was one out there.

Can I ask what scanner you use? I need a CCD scanner.

Wite3 12-11-2009 07:41 PM
Well,
On Veteran's Day, I got engaged, so I guess this is my favorite pick-up of 2009 (although we met 2 years ago). Tiffany is the cuter one, I am the fat one.

Second favorite is my current avatar.

It was the cheapest scanner I could find at CompUSA about 6 years ago.
It is a Canon (CanoScan3000 I think) and it cost $50.

More important than the scanner is the free Picassa software from Google
that I use to get the colors to look realistic. If you click on the link right below the
scans I post, you can see how Picassa houses my collection and, more than likely, download the software yourself.

Thanks very much for the info. I have been scouring the message boards for the best scanner, and the CanoScans are always talked about the most. Unfortunately I couldn't find any new for the right price, so I went with a HP Scanjet G3110. It's CCD with cathode tube (able to scan BGS, PSA and refractors) and is only $45 new on eBay. It seems to be a good one. I've seen the scans it makes and am impressed. I hope they turn out as good as yours. That scan and card are amazing.

Very nice Zeenut, Darren.

Here's one of my favorite '09 pick-ups w/Josh Gibson, Buck Leonard & Raymond Brown.............

Dustanh1 12-12-2009 05:55 PM
Got this off the BST a few months ago...my favorite back, on a HOF portrait of my favorite team, in the grade I'm going for. Great success.

rc4157 12-12-2009 06:33 PM
It's great to see everyone's pickups for '09, an amazing collection.
This Kluszewski is probably my favorite because of searching for one that was decent and within budget, couldn't find a satisfactory purchase of one at Nationals but shortly after picked this one up from Joe on the BST.

Nice
 
All of you have awsome cards! I really take pride in looking at other members pride and joy. It's like walking in a candy store as a 3 year old...

I will post some of mine soon. I don't have the older stuff like many of you all, but I have done okay for myself and budget.

I especially enjoyed obtaining the Alcott - Mansfields card in a trade. It was the last significant "common" team I needed.

I am very proud of this pickup, as it is huge for my Wheat collection. There are only 9 total in the SGC population report and only 3 of those are graded higher, all at 40. Thanks for looking!

Thanks Phil. A good tackhole always gives a piece a certain character as well as an automatic "10."

I have had some nice pick ups for 2009-I finally got the Jack Dunn American Beauty to finish my Baltimore AB set, got the Smith t213-2 to finish the Baltimore players in t213( still need an upgrade on the Jack Dunn t213).
I picked up 2 black Lenox and a few other rare backs

I also picked up some really nice southern league cards from several different sets-thanks to some great 54 members and ebay

but I guess my best
pick up is this one-thanks Rob

Congrats to all!

I have different favorites for different reasons. 2009 was a great year for my Detroit collection so I'm sharing my favorite OJ and Tomlinson together with a Police Gazette type card.

Sorry, not the most experienced uploader! Here's some '09 Pickups.
JimB, those E223's are WONDERFUL! Enjoy!

After the N566 Ward mentioned in another thread, this was the big get for me in 2009. Been looking for a G&B as a type card for a long time.

First, thanks Rob D, for starting what seems to be a great thread. Sincerely.

Next, thanks to everyone who's posted...

So far, this is my favorite pickup of 2009... courtesy of a low profile collector
who got this and contacted me. Thank you, sir. It came from the SkyDash stash. A
second favorite arrived today, Jeff Tesreau's T210... thank you kind board member.

J F Whitaker, the hard hitting outfielder for the Richmond Pioneers of
the Blue Grass League, an Old Mill red border series 6 T210. With this
card, I lack one more to complete series 6... maybe my favorite pickup
in 2010 will be Angermeier fielding....

Besides my doggy, Lola, who still sleeps under my arm (outside the covers :)) every night, I guess these would be a few of my faves from this year. No real spectacular items like a D304 Martens Cobby or T206 Matty Proof....but still cool to me...
