What was your "Everest" of 2012?

Beautiful Cracker Jack set.

My friend actually did climb Mt. Everest. It is getting to be a more popular thing to do, and she managed to get it done. I was pretty skeptical about whether it would really happen, but low and behold... she did it.

I'm sticking to Mt. Everests of baseball cards.

Awesome accomplishment, Barry. Congratulations!

I'm curious -- what's your favorite card in the set?

Barry,

Congrats on finally completing your '14 CJ set! We spoke briefly at the dinner hosted by Heritage Auction during the National last year.

A huge accomplishment and very impressive.

BTW, Barry has THE coolest iPhone case I have ever seen

Thanks Rich. Like I said the nicest part about collecting the set has been the people that I have had the privilege to meet. You were the first.

Thanks cyseymour (I too am sticking with "land-based" cards).

Thanks paulcarek. Well, certainly some of the "big boys" (like the Matty and JJ) in the set hold a special place in my heart It would be hard not to call the Matty my favorite, as the wallpaper on my laptop and my cellphone case both have the image of that card on it. However, truly the Frank Smith image is probably my favorite image in the set (card #90), followed by Ad Brennan and Ted Easterly.

Thanks for the nice comments Marks, E93 and Scott.

Turner, it was a pleasure meeting you too at the National this past year. My recollection is that you also had quite an accomplishment as well. Congrats are certainly in order. I still have my cellphone case; it was the best $35 I have ever spent! (well, almost).
