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

[QUOTE=Spike;1216715]Traded for these two low-grade 33 Goudeys this week. Not much to see from the grading perspective, but check out the backs.

A 1930s collector named Bucky Jackson took it upon himself to modify and update every card he owned. Here's what he did.

1. Trimmed off any "BIG LEAGUE GUM" label from the front
2. Punched out Goudey's © notice
3. Scraped off the Goudey tag line
4. Signed his name with quotes on "Bucky"
5. Updated teams as years went by (Ruth has Yankees scratched out, replaced with "Brooklyn Dodgers" in pencil, so was updated in 1938)
6. Renumbered everything by a system I don't understand yet. (Ruth is now 189 & Gehrig now 297.)

This is a great story! I love stuff like this. Any idea where Bucky was from?

Assume that Bucky was a Boston or New York collector, as a number of what I've found came from auctions near Cape Cod. Hope they're still mostly in the area, so I don't have to travel very far to keep looking. :-)

Hard to narrow it down but I love these three.

Definitely my favorite pickup of the year.

well, it's not pre war and it's not graded. but still a nifty LT card for LT collectors like myself.

Been wanting a t206 Cobb portrait for about four years really badly and I finally got this one from B&L in the spring. Great year though highlighted by the National dinner and show on saturday.
