Geez, Derek - even if you got nothing in the other 10 months, with those two pickups 2016 would still be considered a great year by most!

Very nice!

Thanks Kevin - I had some great pick-ups in between as well...though my bank account is really hoping nothing great comes to auction for the next 9-12 months.

by the way, Rhett, I am absolutely loving that '13 Zeenut of Heilmann! I hadn't seen one with a coupon before! Great pick-up!

I think these would be my 2 favorites for the year even though they really don't fit with what I normally collect.

Rhett, you my friend are then responsible for me being crazy, you together with Tom B. & Henry M. I've had a blast picking up new coupons and trying to unravel some mysteries. Some of the coupons in your collection are new to me, I'll be writing you

All things considered...this guy!

I am a low budget collector so always looking to acquire a bargain which mostly means lesser condition and less desirable issues. For pre-war that has steered me towards the premiums of the mid 30s. I purchased this Goudey Wide Pen raw off eBay and submitted to SGC as part of a special. Total cost (including grading/shipping) ended up less than $30. Great image of a HOFer. Same pose as his '33 card and a fraction of what a similar condition example of that issue would have cost me.

Complete set of T51 Murad College series from Kit Young on eBay. Graded from PSA 4s all the way up to PSA 8s, a great investment at only $6/card. Helped me get down to needing 10 cards for the Master Set.

Many of them have been graded and added to this set:

I have two favorites. The WaJo completed my hands-at-chest back run (outside of the BL 460, T214, T215 Pirate, and T215-1, if it exists). The T207 is just a great card with history...and I had the opportunity to sit down with its previous owner for beers and a good dinner to receive the card.

I just got this in. It is a pop 6 with only 1 higher.

[Wahoowa]

Only a few cards this year, saving for a wedding.

Regretted not being more aggressive when bidding on this card at REA so decided to not let it go a second time.

I've worked on collecting Del Pratt cards because of his University of Alabama connection (my PhD is from Alabama). Little did I know how tough some of his cards would be (e.g., 1914 Cracker Jack). The T211 is very tough. I'm still looking for a T210-8.
