WOw, Wow, Wow. Some absolutely incredible stuff this year. Congrats to everyone on your meaningful additions.
For myself, it was a very good year. Was very fortunate to have sold some things at exactly the right time to be able to add some pretty significant items for my Gehrig collection. There were too many good things to list them all, so here are a couple of my favorite items

1) Newspaper with a huge Ruth-Gehrig Illustration that takes up almost the entire front page. The photo is a bit blurry. It is spectacular in person.



2) Lou's plaque that hung in the Ted Williams museum until it closed.



3) Original snapshots of Lou with Babe taking batting practice.






4) Snapshot of Lou signing an autograph for a kid



BUT...
perhaps my favorite pickup was not an item, but my display case that i created to display some of my collection. I was worried, but I think it came out awesome



I hope everyone has a healthy and prosperous New Year.
