Since I will be in New Orleans hopefully cheering my Cincinnati Bearcats (I know its a long shot) to victory for the New Year I figured this would be a perfect to look back at the year that was 2009. 2009 was by far my largest year year of "cornerstone" type pieces including many Logos, Barrels, and Buttons. It was the year I picked up the most Autographs, and least amount of cards and game used cards since I have kept count since 2006. I also wanted to take this time to thank everyone from these boards that have helped me this year and through the years with my collection. I highly doubt I would have gotten this far without a lot of your guys help.
Here is the break down.
Different Cards: 245 (Averages out to 1 New Card every 35 Hours)
Different Autographs: 68 (Averages out to 1 New Autograph every 5 Days)
Different Game Used: 63 (Averages out to 1 New Game Used every 5 Days)
% Completion 2757 of 4087 67.5%
% Completion Without 1/1's 2677 of 3236 82.7%
% Completion 2009 Releases 76 of 110 69.1% (Without 1/1's 68 of 74 91.9%)
