To narrow it down to one 2016 pick-up I'd say it's this White Sox lineup card from the 8/5/14 game against the Rangers. Down 15-0 to the Rangers in the top of the 9th Inning, Robin Ventura let Adam Dunn make his MLB pitching debut (1 walk, 2 hits, 1 run, 9.00 ERA). I have it up on a wall and chuckle when I see the change moving Dunn from "DH" to "1".

This 1998 Topps Sports Cubz has to be my favorite pickup.

This was an absolutely incredible ttm return from George Culver. He threw a no-hitter for the Reds in 1968. I sent him a letter asking if I could send a baseball and he said yes. This is my return baseball

Your post inspired me to send a ball to Mr. Culver. He signed mine in much the same manner as yours, but didn't include the score. I also got a 1965 Topps and a 1974 Topps card signed as well.

Thanks for letting people know about this. It is a very cool ball to add to my collection.

Lots of stuff I liked this year, since I switched just to just caring about quality rather than quantity a couple of years ago.

These two were some of the biggest - it's hard to find any more Brandon Webb cards (not exactly a market there these days), but was able to pick up these two 1/1's this year, plus two printing plates and a handful of higher numbered stuff I didn't have. Probably added 12 Webb's in 2016, which is pretty good these days. Hopefully people start unloading their Webb's eventually.

2006 Bowman Heritage Black 1/1 and 2007 Bowman Sterling Red Refractor 1/1


This was also a huge one - finally got to join the Flair 1/1 club:


And two of my favorite Goldy's for the year:

Flair/Fleer Showcase did 1/1's better than anyone IMO.
