What is your best card you added to your collection in 2013?

..I really couldn't choose between these two.

Awesome stuff - keep it coming!

And there are no breaking the rules, since there are no rules!

[the 'stache]

I will upgrade it sometime in 2014, as it is my favorite pre-war card, but I absolutely love my Johnson portrait.

T3 Cobb No-Ad Back. T3 guys will know just how rare this one is.

Hoping everyone has a blessed 2014!

Sean, those are two bad a$$ cards!!!!!

I added some nice HoF rookie cards this year. Two of note are Mays and Mathews. The Mathews is one that was a goal for 2013, although I busted my target price in acquiring it.

My favorite card is one received from board member John V.

My oldest card in my collection and one of a Detroit legend.

[Iron Horse]

Iran's president Rouhani and Hugo Chavez, a few months before he died.

[Kawika]

Great stuff in this thread, everybody. Wonka, too.
Dead heat tie for my favorite 2013 pickups.
Always wanted an Ullman postcard. Richard Masson had three or four to choose from at Leon and Scott's table at the National. I picked McGinnity. Couldn't be happier.


This smart looking McGraw Rotograph replaces one I traded earlier and fills the hole in my collection quite nicely. Thanks, Jonathan.

I think Kevin is the winner this year. Just so people don't overlook that beauty, his Lowell card pictured above is an extremely rare card...try finding another in your lifetime. You might as well quit now Kevin...

[JerryTotino]

Great cards everyone.

My best card for the year is:

Jerry, that might be the card of the year.

And seeing that ebay auction in which you got it is definitely my WTF moment of the year.

A favorite is too hard to choose, so here's an unusual one: from 1876, and to my knowledge the first "card" showing a baseball scene in an actual stadium that was used to promote a product. For more, visit http://www.sportingoregon.com/ .

Beautiful OJs Kevin, while the Collins - Lowell is a tough team change (missed that team change on that pose in the book) and condition rarity, I prefer the Vaughn with its player/pose rarity and beautiful contrast with huge angle cut right border. What a beauty!

I'm going to break the rule and post several items that I was able to add to my core collection over 2013 and give thanks to those who made it possible. I've split them into two pics, the large items and the small items.

Among others, thank you Jay Miller, Gary Passamonte, Ted Brown (N175), Toby Peterson (both N172 Conway cards), and Brian Hodes (N172 Deacon White). The Deacon is off-condition but can't be too choosy when trying to collect all the poses. The other items came from eBay and auction houses.

I was able to pick up a couple Detroit scorecards this year but the attached copy is from a home game in 1887. Finding Detroit scorecards with Detroit on the road is easy, finding a home game scorecard, tough.

The Sam Thompson cabinet is nice but hope to trade it for a Detroit example down the road (or buy Detroit/sell Philly). It has been a great 2013 and its not over yet!

[wonkaticket]

Joe, that's one amazing bunch of pickups!

[WillowGrove]

Like totally, one of my favorite threads?

Good year.....

[conor912]

Not technically a card, but my favorite none-the-less. Knowing I was having trouble finding one I liked in my price range, my wife painted this for me for my birthday as a "place-holder".

[Sean]

Hey Conor, that's quite good.
Can your wife paint a T206 Wagner for me?
