SO, what are you picking up in 2012?

[wickedliquids]

2011 is just about over and in terms of wax, it was brutal for me :twisted: . I didn't buy that much, probably spent more on blasters than anything else, and I think "redemptions" gravitate towards me as that's all I seem to end up pulling in the few boxes that I purchased. I definitely didn't see an ROI, but that's okay as I don't really buy cards to sell, nearly everything goes into my pc - and the fact is, I spend a lot more on pre-war than modern stuff (10 to 1 ratio). It just so happens that I like some of the modern stuff

Although I did luck out on some good buys on singles - but wax just kicked my a$$.

Best card out of a box? This:

Didn't even know it was a refractor till I turned it over (hard to see, but it's numbered 89/99 - no idea what it's worth)

And of course, the auto was a redemption (Jose Fernandez)

haha - it don't matter - love the hobby so I'll keep buying....kind of ::facepalm::

For 2012, it'll be A & G, and the Bowman releases (Bowman, Chrome, Draft) - but probably only a couple of hobby boxes at most. What do you guys plan on picking up?

Probably some more old school wax....I like to try to get my hands on some 2003 Diamond Kings but that is tough to find.

Card wise I would like to purchase a T3 Speaker, I said I was going to this year and did not :|

 

[WoundedDuck]

Hoping to add autos of Pujols, Mariano Rivera, Puckett, and Jack Nicklaus early in 2012.

 

[VandyDan]

Lots of Vanderbilt players in this years' EEE. Garvin, Esposito, Westy and Gray(?). So, a lot of that.

Other than that, slowing down on the long term prospecting, so hopefully I can 'cash out' and continue to buy high end/unique DPrice, Cutler, EBennett etc.

Hopefully 2012 bowman isn't that expensive...but it will be.

 

[chadwright]

Try to keep up with getting one of each Nolan Ryan card released in 2012 (especially autographs) and keep adding past Ryan autos.

 

[Fandruw25]

New Andruw cards :? :? Who am I kidding it's gonna be a bunch of older singles on ebay

 

[PeteD]

2012 EEE wax and Brett Lawrie.

 

[darrend505]

Hoping to finish my 1971 Topps set!

 

[Keyser Soze]

Gonna start buying Anthony Rendon, I decided when he was drafted that I was going to collect him, and was pissed when he wasnt included in BDPP

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I want to hit the 50% mark on my '58 set.

 

[padremurph]

Since the Padres seem insistent on not keeping a franchise player long term, I'm going to be focusing on Padres prospects and trying to pick up more vintage this year.

Would love to be able to add a couple of vintage Fellers and Teddys.

 

[Super Mario]

Possibly David Freese.

 

[THREADKILLER-crohrer]

1955 Topps Sandy Koufax PSA 7 or better. Brett Andersons!!!
