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

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 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! |

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.
