What was your favorite pickup in '09?

[T206Collector]

2009 was a good year for adding HOFers to my signed T206 collection, including Sam Crawford (batting), Fred Clarke (batting) and this one....

From Autographed T206

I didn't add too many cards this year...some scarce caramel types...but this is my favorite:

[Howe’s Hunter]

Trae put me in contact with someone who had acquired a large group of t206s, among them were 29 with McCormick's stamp. They had contacted Trae through his website to see if he knew anything about them, he contacted me, and they ended up in Omaha. And the board ended up with another contributing member.

I got a steal of a deal on this one several months back. Its the best in my set so far.

Seriously though, my 2009 pickups have been scant, but I think this is my favorite.

Can I ask what scanner you use? I need a CCD scanner.

Well,
On Veteran's Day, I got engaged, so I guess this is my favorite pick-up of 2009 (although we met 2 years ago). Tiffany is the cuter one, I am the fat one.



Second favorite is my current avatar.



Good year!!

It was the cheapest scanner I could find at CompUSA about 6 years ago.
It is a Canon (CanoScan3000 I think) and it cost $50.

More important than the scanner is the free Picassa software from Google
that I use to get the colors to look realistic. If you click on the link right below the
scans I post, you can see how Picassa houses my collection and, more than likely, download the software yourself.

Thanks very much for the info. I have been scouring the message boards for the best scanner, and the CanoScans are always talked about the most. Unfortunately I couldn't find any new for the right price, so I went with a HP Scanjet G3110. It's CCD with cathode tube (able to scan BGS, PSA and refractors) and is only $45 new on eBay. It seems to be a good one. I've seen the scans it makes and am impressed. I hope they turn out as good as yours. That scan and card are amazing.

Very nice Zeenut, Darren.

Here's one of my favorite '09 pick-ups w/Josh Gibson, Buck Leonard & Raymond Brown.............

[Dustanh1]

Got this off the BST a few months ago...my favorite back, on a HOF portrait of my favorite team, in the grade I'm going for. Great success.

After the N566 Ward mentioned in another thread, this was the big get for me in 2009. Been looking for a G&B as a type card for a long time.

Wondering if Joe Scott is one of the players in that Homestead Grays photos?
