Show your favorite Pick-Up

So far this year
As Ernie would say, Let's Play Two

this is not my favorite card i picked up this year...that'd probably be the e90-1 jax or the e103 wagner, but it's my favorite pick-up since i was at a beach in vietnam when i won it.

have a great national to everyone who's going!

Wow, talk about tough. Only being able to pick one card. Mine is definitely a T206. But which one?

I guess I'll go with my UZIT backed Manning:

Well, my choice would have been the D381 Bancroft I posed in July pickups, but since the other guy reneged on the deal, my favorite pickup so far this year would have to be my D359 Bender or Mayo Ewing.

that sucks ben...u jinxed urself talking about it too soon.

I got a lot of cards that could fit this category, but this one is special because it's signed by one of the most famous of the Nebraska Indians players - Dan Tobey - Tobey was a pitcher for the NI team and later gained much more fame as a boxing announcer. He is in the Boxing Hall of Fame.

Even more interesting perhaps is that the card was sent to Honus Wagner's brother Luke (Louis) who also I guess went by the nickname "Dutch".

Haha! Nice Dan.

He must be a ladies man. I myself am one as well.

My favorite pick-up so far.

From the National:

DELETED

This was the last card to complete my set, it's also the highest graded PSA/SGC.

Are you going to get your Stengel graded?

No, I don't own the Stengel card, but if I did I'm sure you'd here about it!

I consider the set complete with 29 cards (in my mind) for the simple reason there's only one known (SP) Stengel reported to exist today. So the scan listed on my link page is just a novelty piece for show.

Congratulations on completion of the the Maple Crispette set sans Stengel. I have always loved the portraits in that set.

Completing the set was no easy task, I had alot of help from a variety of collectors who deserve a little recognition.

Leon Luckey (1st 7 common' cards) I've since upgraded all seven cards!
