Best Acquisition for 2006

[Archive]

Posted By: Joann

Wow Mike - I'm not sure how to respond to this because my collection kind of exploded into different types in 2006. Prior to that I had kind of putzed around with mainstream tobacco issues of Detroit players. So I won't answer the question directly as asked, but instead note that in 2006 I got my first ever card of the following issues:

N172
N29
T204
T202
Obaks - 1910 and 1911
T207
Dietzche Postcards
M116
Zeenut - 1911 only
E93
E95
E96
E97
E97 BW
E98
E101
E102
E103
E106
1933 Goudey
1934 Goudey
E-unc Herpolsheimer's card

Wow. That's a lot of added types. As to most significant? A shorter list, with reasons:

- N172 Ganzel - first N172 and I'd looked a long time
- E97 McIntyre SGC 50 - my first higher end and scarcer card. I opened it and thought "I don't ususally get these cards - other people get these cards." Still thrilled.
- E97 BW Rossman SGC 20 - my first really scarce/unusual type
- N28 Annie Oakley - because I'd tried for so long to find one I could afford
- E-Unc Herp's card - reasons described in another thread
- 1933 Goudey Ruth Red - first Goudey, first Ruth, and I wanted one for years.

Finally, I picked up a cabinet of the 1890 Young Ladie's Baseball Club. I've posted scans every chance I've had, so you've all seen it. It is probably something like my favorite, most significant, or whatever. Awesome.

Nice thread Mike. Sorry if I kind of hijacked it or didn't answer within the meaning of the question. Just too much in 2006 to narrow down.

It's also worth noting that, as regards my shorter list of more significant cards, each and every item came from someone on this board either via BST or their "for sale" web site. Not one ebay or otherwise sort of anonymous pickup in that second list. Says a lot for this board.
