Even though I bought many cards and coins this year, I can only say I have one favorite (how could one have more than one favorite?). Anyways after watching The Sandlot a million times I knew I had to eventually get a signed Babe Ruth baseball. My budget was small which makes this a tough goal to reach, but I found one here on the board.

What makes this one so special is not only is it signed by Ruth on the sweet spot, but it is also signed by Walter Johnson on a side panel (Thank God they are PSA/DNA certified!). Not only being signed by these two legends, its a 1932-1933 William Harridge Reach OAL baseball and it's the last year for the red and blue stitches. It may not be the boldest of signatures, but knowing that they held this ball at one time is pretty cool. I'll be keeping this one away from my son's just in case they need a ball for batting practice!

Here is mine - easily my favorite pickup of 2018, and really of all-time as well . . .

[sgbernard]

Some amazing pickups here. This year, I snagged my white whale, the T209 II Thompson! Still excited about it...

[CW]

Stunning Mathewson, Scott!

Jason B., that US Caramel Ruth is unreal, as well as your 33 Goudey, Rob.

And I can see why you chose that ball, Jason. Love the huge Ruth Signature.

[CobbSpikedMe]

Mine aren't groundbreaking cards, but these are my favorites from 2018.

A couple E98 HOFers, my E90-1 Oakes (always wanted one of these), and I was able to add a couple new W516 Becker/Prize backs to my collection.

Not my favorite pick up this year but it is in the top 10. The players name and the psychedelic background colors made it a must have.

My favorite.

Got to go with Timmy for pre-war. Almost all of my post-war pick ups were Japanese. The first black and white card is Hideo Fujimoto; it's from the first baseball card set printed after the war. He was absurdly great (0.73 ERA over 432 innings in 1943!) but had a relatively short career. The second B&W card is Fumio Fujimura, the biggest star of the Osaka Tigers. The color card is "the God of Batting" Tetsuharu Kawakami, for my money the pivotal figure in the story of Japanese baseball.

[mrvster]

just unreal! planks, Mantles, Ruths, and Cobbs Oh My

I love the oddball stuff too

keep 'em coming

This year has been the year of 7's. This'll be my third 7 this year.

Only 1 slabbed by any of the grading companies. Died tragically in 1965 at age 31!

Hopefully next year, I'll show you my Carl Braun signed 1961 Fleer #7 (a signed copy has yet to be slabbed by any of the grading companies!)

Peace, Mike

[LincolnVT]

Very nice!

I was fortunate to finish my run of catchers in the T205 set this year.

I also completed my subset of Chief Meyers T202s this year.

In addition, I picked up quite a few P2 catcher pins this year. Just 3 pins left to complete the run.

Here are my favorite pickups for 2018

Bill Carrigan Diamond Gum pin (March)
Chief Meyers 1915 E145-2 Cracker Jack (September)
E92 John McLean (October)
Joe Dunn T210-8 (October)
Bill Bergen T3 Turkey Red (October)
Lou Criger W600 (November)
