Let's see your favorite pickups of 2009.

[mudflap02]

Without any sort of rules, suggestions, or guidelines, this thread is somehow better than the failed "greatest cards" thread from a couple of weeks ago. Amazing cards from everyone.

 

[scotty21690]

I have MANY favorites from this year but my sig is easily my favorite.

 

[thenumberonemetfan]

I have ALOT more favorites but I dont want to clog the thread more then I already have

 

[djrulz]

djrulz - Nice stuff! Is that Nick Johnson PC or for flipping now that he is back in pinstripes?

It's for my Johnson PC

 

[andyduke86]

Didn't buy very many nice cards this year but these were my favorite pickups

However, I had a great year when it comes to in person autographs, these are just some of the highlights. I also got ip signatures from most top prospects this year too.

also had another ball with just #23 that I traded for a Chipper Jones ball.

this is a real authentic too

however, this is my favorite from the year (now has Chad Bradford on it too but I haven't updated this pic yet). Maddon is on the ss , all I need now are Upton, Pena, and Bartlett, whom I should be adding to it in a few months when I see them.

I'm very interested to see what the card might be. Give me a hint perhaps?

Is that Ewing auto worth anything? I received one as part of a lot I bought, but the auto is literally faded off the card. I figured nobody would want it, but who knows? It does have the embossed stamp though.

mudflap02 - Well, I'm not sure how that particular one will sell since it is faded. But these cards generally sell very well, the last couple clearly showing the embossed stamp got over $175. I took a chance on a poorly listed copy and it turned out to be authentic so I ended up paying just $58 for mine. I bet if you get it slabbed as a BGS authentic, it may sell for a decent amount.

Nice stuff Ravi, that Fleer /26 is an insane steal for $18. I think I paid $100 something for mine and thought that was a deal considering others had gone for $200+

labratt21 - Thanks, it was one of those finds that you dream about! BTW that is a jaw dropping array of O'Neills! I think I am missing all but one. I don't think I've seen that SP Buyback before, is that a recent pickup? Anyway, my latest O'Neill auto should be coming in any day from a trade. I'll post it up when I get it. I bet you'll like it.


Jastermereel - I wonder what it is! :mrgreen:

djrulz - Nice stuff! Is that Nick Johnson PC or for flipping now that he is back in pinstripes?

Codasco7 - That Studio AP is gorgeous! I have never seen a Pujols auto from that set.

Great stuff guys! Keep it coming, I can't keep up with all your posts!

 

[nevermore]

On-card auto serial numbered (not-hand numbered) to /24 on front.

I will stop by my PO box later tonight, hopefully it will be there.

Kobe- That Foursome card is sweet! I wish they had Hornsby or Ted WIlliams in instead of Musial, but having Ruth, Gehrig and Cobb on it makes it sweet!

 

[dano7]

The Mantles I added were the best....expecially since I'd wanted a 51 Mantle for a long time.

[LaneyB]

I'm not a big fan of game used cards but I couldn't pass these up (two cards, the spx being double sided)

And these autographs.
