Can I say HOLY COW! That is really cool. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful, really.

Denny, Thanks for ye kind words. Yes, it's been a fast start. Sitting at 86 of 119 (maybe JJ some day ). YES, it certainly was the great help of this board that helped me along. First, Tim N. hooked me up with ~20, at very fair prices. I did some nice trades for my dupe T206 and T210-1. Just can't remember who with . Which I apologize, I'd like to publicly thank them, but you know who you are !! Thanks !!! AND, of course, Denny, himself helped me with a few !!!!!!!!!!!!

As for as Mr. Speaker. He was a "luck of the Irish" ebay pick up. Must have been on line just as the BIN came up. Won't say what I paid for him, don't want to any one out. BUT, he did come with some anticipation. Took well over a month to receive. I was afraid someone got to the seller with price. But finally got the "dying Grand mother, pregnant girl friend, bonded out cousin" excuse, and he finally arrived.

I'm waiting on a new "toughie" in the mail (from another generous member). But will wait to crack it out and re scan in pick up section.

Probably my favorite card in my collection...

These were my favorite pick ups of the year. I realize the Mantles are post-war, but picking each up were life long collecting goals and cards I could only dream of as a kid. The Gehrig wasn't planned, but I feel it's an awesome and under appreciated card.

Got this back in January...growing up a Red Sox fan, this card has been #1 on my list to have for a long time.

2 more to go for main set, but my EPDG collection was a big focus this year.

Have slowed down considerably these last few months, but my run to 200 had a big boost this year. Thank you to all who have helped me or pointed me to "opportunities".

And if you don't see it below, I need it. Hint hint....
