Any unexpected card purchases in 2015?

[DeanH3]

Like most, I usually have a general list of collecting goals heading into the new year. In looking back on 2015 I realized I have had a few totally unexpected purchases of cards that were nowhere on my radar. I picked up a bunch of post-war cards that I had no inkling of purchasing. This E104-1 Eddie Collins is a card that was really an impulse buy. It was not on my radar at all but when I saw it I just had to buy it. Something just screamed buy me! Glad I did because I truly enjoy it. The stamping on the back just adds to the intrigue for me. Anyone else pick up any cards that were nowhere on their radar but glad they pulled the trigger?

Not a card but, got a Mantle signed rookie ball from a fellow board member

This was not even close to being on the radar.
As a predominantly card collector this was very unexpected. I only have a few things re-collected so apologies for showing things more than once (or thrice)....

Just a t206, but unexpectedly came up at ebay as a bargain price BIN so grabbed it probably in the nick of time...

No unusual card buy here, my surprise of the year was a Walt Bond 1960 Cleveland Indians Top, PLUS a perfect pair of stirrups. It came up for auction and just seemed like the kind of thing my collection of the Tribe needed.
