Hi everyone, first of all wanted to wish everyone a happy holidays and new year! Probably going to be repeating many "end of year recap" threads but since I haven't posted much of my most recent pickups thought I would start my own thread focused on my Pedro Martinez and Mike Piazza personal collections. For Pedro I collect all of his stuff, for Piazza mostly pre-2002 stuff and Dodgers gamed-used cards.

In short, it was a pretty good year, and I hope it continues in 2013 :)

Here they are, in no particular order Have added some commentary:

1996 Select Mirror Gold - 90s player collectors know how hard these can be to track down. Picked up a raw Pedro with peel still on and it was a beauty

1998 Flair Showcase Masterpiece Row 0 - my first Pedro 90s 1/1!

1998 Pinnacle Certified Mirror Red Test Issue - love the card and the mystery around they came to the market

1998 Select Jersey Number Quasar Level One #00/00

Wow......every one of those could be a "pick up of the year" let alone all of them in one turn of the calendar. Amazing cards!

Sick cards! Really dig the century auto and the select mirror gold Pedro's. Those would make any collection for sure

Fleer Tradition Starting Nine was a $100 BIN with best offer...I didn't even want to make an offer and risk someone else hitting the BIN

Nice! I would agree with you there... might of been able to get it a little lower but with your luck maybe someone else was like screw it and hit the BIN. I have never seena Belle and honestly have only seen a handful of any player... I'd buy the Belle for $100 BIN if it spiked :)
