What's your best card acquisition this year ?

AmishDave · Dec 23, 2012

Saw this over at Hobby Insider and figured it'd make for a great thread here. Doesn't have to be the most valuable, but just a card you've looked for forever or just a nice patch that caught your eye or the elusive base card for a set you finally finished. Also, it can be something you've purchased, traded for or pulled. Just has to be within the 2012 year.

Mine would have to be this, as I waited for the seller to drop the BIN/BO price and he accepted a price which I was more than comfortable paying:

I would have to say the RG3 auto superfractor or the 79-80 OPC Gretzky BVG 9.5 I bought ..

1950 Bowman Ted Williams psa 3. I've wanted one of those forever and finally pulled the trigger.

Very nice sir.

I've had so many nice ones but I have to say my 2005 Glen Perkins Red Ref 1/5 BGS 9 was the best, just because of how hard they are to track down.

Didn't see one listed since the product first came out. Glad I won this one earlier this year. /3

Picked up two of these this year, but this one is in better shape. Wanted a nice Stras ever since I saw him pitch in college and was finally able to grab a few.

Mine would have to be one of these:
2009 Signature Stars Quad Autograph Mauer/Span/Kubel/Blackburn /35- My 2 PC players on only 1 of 2 cards containing both of their signatures
2009 Signature Stars Triple Autograph Mauer/Span/Perkins /25- Same reason as above!
2010 Topps Triple Threads Denard Span Sapphire Autograph Relic /10- Great looking set
2011 Bowman International Denard Span Cyan Printing Plate 1/1- First 1/1 other than a blank back in my collection

Tough to say. Picked up so many cards that I sold. I still have this one in my possession so I will pick it. Mouse here to zoom in

TNP777 · Dec 23, 2012

I'm going to post two - they're both from 100+ year old sets, so I'm going to take a little latitude.

T206 Bill Dahlen and T205 Irvin Wilhelm - both cards completed their respective Brooklyn Superbas team sets.

Dilferules · Dec 23, 2012

For my whole collection it'd be this one:

1997 Playoff Zone Gold 2/5 Trent Dilfer. Really really excited I found that one, thought I'd never see it for sale.

For baseball I think it's a tie between these two:
