Top 3 Cards of your 2024? Let's see 'em!!

Good idea for a thread. I think I picked up more entertainment than baseball items this year. So here are my top 3 “pick ups” of 2024

Whoa! I’d love to hear the story behind The Beatles autographed photo. I see John is the only one who used a marker. Very nice piece!

This specific signed Beatles picture is actually fairly “common”. They were signed on site, in the Bahamas, during the filming of the movie Help, and given as presents of thanks to people who worked on the film. The provenance on these is pretty clear and certain, which is key considering all the fake Beatles signatures out there (and I understand there are a ton).

Well it's still a wonderful signed item!

I have a clear top pre-war card for my year. My first Broad Leaf. I also finally got an Aaron rookie for my best post-war pickup of 2024.

Great items fellas. Ryan, that Beatles signed photo is off the charts.

This trio of Cracker Jack's would be my picks.

My best purchase this year was this insanely rare 1989 Fleer Randy Johnson error card. I know in this section it looks like a worthless junk wax card but it is a 4 figure card. My other top 2 pickups are 2 other silly rare Randy Johnson Marlboro error cards.

Ryan - amazing Cy Young cab there, sir! The Ruth and Beatles items ain’t too shabby either!

These are probably my best three pick-ups this year:

Delahanty OJ “rookie”:


Not all that exciting from a player or rarity perspective, but Mr. Muddy Ruel was the last card I needed to complete my 1923 V100 Willard Chocolates set (180):


And then I made a trade with another Net54 member just a few weeks ago to get two more Piedmont Art Stamps closer to set completion (I now only need three more - Moriarty, Parent, and Wilhelm):

Sticking to pre-war items, here's three I like:
