What were your favorite 2 or 3 pieces you picked up this year...

[thekingofclout]

Those are two essential tickets to have Mike. Very nice!

And Scott, the Johnson piece is superb, as is the Matty stub, but those Enberg/Ryan score sheets are off the charts! Amazing pick ups for sure.

Growing up in So Cal during the Seventies was a very special time in regards to Baseball. Although the Angels and Dodgers got skunked for the decade, having the pure pleasure of listening to Vin Scully and Dick Enberg calling games on those warm summer nights, while I sat on my bed playing with my card collection, was like... like... like... like nothing I can ever fairly compare it to. Priceless memories for sure.

Happy New Year! My best, Jimmy

Jimmy,
Like you, I'm sentemental about Scully and Enberg calling those summer games in my youth as well. I love the fact that I own one small piece of this.
No doubt that that your 1st photo of Gehrig in a Yankees uniform is the bomb! What a great pickup!

Mike,
I agree with Jimmy that both of the tickets that you ended up picking up are great ones. Both represent unbelievable moments in baseball history. Congrats to you as well!

After a bit of a lull the last half of the year due to family health issues, I finished off the year with a bang.

My favorite item(s) is the group of signed 1934 goudeys I won on ebay at the end of the year. I waited all year to get some new additions for my set. I'm now at 70/96.
I'm only showing the Melillo,(the others are shown in the Christmas thread.), as its has a little special story. Another ebay seller has had one listed for over a year for $800. I tried to negotiate it down to a more reasonable level, but he was not willing. In a triumph of patience, I won this one for $78.


Second is a snapshot of the 1927 Yankees team from Spring training. It compares exactly to the offically taken ST team pic, except mine is off to the side. What are the odds that the guy who took the pic would've been visiting ST on the exact day they were taking the team pic?


Third is the Gehrig Burke type 1.


Sorry, I had to add a fourth as it was soo close.
A March 1954 Sport Magazine signed by Casey Stengel.


Jimmy, it's hard to believe that the Gehrig pic with Christy Walsh's kid didn't make it.

Mike, I think I may have to target one of those Gehrig tickets this coming year, myself! Yours is a nice one.

Scott, I love the Johnson pic. It's a beauty.

Best to all. Hopefully we'll have an even better new year as well.

I love these pickups...

[ksfarmboy]

I really didn't add that much too the collection this year but if I had to choose a couple it would be these two. I've really wanted a 19th century silver trophy baseball for a while and picked up this 1875 model. Next is a Royals jersey I've wanted for a while. Followed them in the 70's and 80's and was finally able to land a powder blue jersey. It's a 1976 gamer of Hal McRae.

This was difficult, but fun
I'm counting this first pick up as one piece since they are a set

[matty39]

Being an avid bf3 collector, this was a great addition to my collection.

Great stuff Mike! All top-notch.

Here are my top 5...

I forgot that this Muller Statue was acquired in early 2010. Throwing in one more, so let's call it a 7-way tie. 2010 was a very fortunate and prosperous year for me...

Since it was a gift, I didn't consider it a "pick up". What can I say Mark, I'm anal that way.

I must say that it sure looks like EVERYBODY that posted had a terrific year! Well done Gents and Congrats to all.
