Favorite.

No WaJos among my favorites for 2015. My top pick is this T216 Virginia Extra (ex L. L. collection), because I already had a T216 Kotton and a T216 Mino with this same Jennings pose. Close behind are these 2 additions to my E222 collection.

Great Boston cabinet, Gary.

Wow, great stuff in 2015 guys! This might be the best one of these threads since I joined because of the pick-ups from Leon's auction. Here's my favorite pick-ups for this year:

When I started collecting in '85, my focus was on Mattingly's, McGwires, and Puckett's. Then my parents bought me a book that contained reprints of vintage cards, and I fell in love with a whole new genre of cards that seemed wholly unattainable as an 8 year old. My favorite card was the '33 Goudey Gehrig. Though I knew it was a reprint, and therefore worthless, I still cherished it, and it was one of the few cards that remained in a hard plastic screw-down case, even as Will Clark rookies were relegated to mere plastic sheets. Anyway, fast forward 28 years, and I re-discovered the hobby and fell in love with vintage all over again. My second vintage purchase was a '33 Gehrig that was actually generously graded an SGC '50. I loved it, but it did not fully fill the void. Finally, this year, I was fortunate to be able to buy an upgrade that gets me excited every time I look at it. My favorite purchase of 2015 and my favorite material possession.

That Gehrig is SICK! (Incredible!)
