Thanks again to Adam for the E210-1 of Sam Rice with a "ghost" back.

I got some raw in trade, including this T206 Greminger Hindu and E90-3 Archer:

I got these modified raw back in my collection (had them briefly many years ago, went to a great collector, and made their way back to me):

And finally a great collector named Ed made me D310 complete, and did so in an act of collecting generosity:

So all in all, 2023 was a great raw year for me!

For me, it would be a N173 photo proof of Tip O'Neil won in the last LOTG auction. I have his N172 in the same pose who can now live with his father.

New Year's resolution: Buy a scanner, much easier than losing 20 pounds.
