Can't
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 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.

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. https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2884/...7e8ddb9a_c.jpg |
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.

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! |

Jeff, your celeb auto collection is in another dimension.
|
Jeff, do you have a JSA LOA for that guitar? :p
Now that's a cool item! :cool: |
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 .

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.

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! |
Awesome pc Jim!

Nice one, Jim!

Jeff, that's a gorgeous example. I think i missed it since it is catalogued as 06-07 instead of just '06.
|
SGC's pop report is all over the place when it comes to these PCs. I see only two Cubs team graded (my 50 and a 30) but I wouldn't be surprised if there were more. I actually bought mine raw.

Toss up for me between these 2...
http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...s991304f2.jpeg http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...s924dcdfd.jpeg love them both... too bad they consumed most of my card budget for the entire year :) |
I know it pales in comparison to some of the other items posted in the thread, but the Thorpe Olympiska Spelens postcard was my best pickup of the year. I missed on a couple examples of the Thorpe 1912 "Olympic Heroes" shot-putting postcard that I have wanted for a while.

Ty Cobb real photo postcard
2 Attachment(s)
Probably this real photo postcard of Ty Cobb because it's such a nice image. For more early baseball postcards and paper visit http://www.sportingoregon.com . Always buying!
The back story: The spectator who snapped the photo wrote on the back, "I may not be able to Ty Cobb but I can snap him. Taken at the Wilkes Barre and Detroit game Sunday, Sept. 24-11." Just before the end of the 1911 season, at about the time the Detroit Tigers were eliminated from the pennant race, the Tigers visited Boulevard Park for a game with the home town Wilkes Barre Barons, champions of the New York State League. The Tigers prevailed 3-2. Cobb went 0-3, so this image probably shows him recording an out. His teammate Sam Crawford was 4-4. Behind the plate that day for the Barons (and behind Cobb in this image) was Joe Briger, whose minor league career spanned 1907-1925. |
I am thankful to Michael Brailey for parting with a N300 Kinslow. Thank you sir.

Im very thankful I was able to pick up a 15 card T210 Orange Border Lot including 9 I needed at the time. The pickup moved me to 17-20 of the subset and has stalled ever since. Made a play at a Munsell this month but was the underbidder. As for a single card the half Yellow Border Jones as rough as it is is the one this year. Not to many yellows out there im glad to have at least a partial example. Great cards everyone. Nice Benny Mike!
