Ok, so Kyle's post got me thinking about my favorite addition to my collection this year. For me it is probably my game used Grady Sizemore complete TBTC uniform from MLB auctions. What is your favorite purchase this year?

Thanks

There were MANY. If I had to narrow it down to 1...I'd say full 1973 home SF Giants Dave Kingman unaltered uniform would be tops...

Mine are many as well. I guess one of them is the Thome Negro League unis from 07-08.

Mine would have to be Matt Kemp's bat from his brawl on June 3rd, 2008, and he broke this bat over his knee on June 5th. I have photomatches from June 3rd - 5th:










Photomatch from right before the brawl with Yorvit Torrealba:




Here is the bat seen when the brawl occured:





Photomatch from June 4th:

Re: What is your favorite addition to your collection in 2008?

I as well have had quite a few, but I will narrow it down.

First a 1966 Cubs Home Flannel worn by Bill Hands. He was my mothers favorite player when she was younger...she said he was so dreamy I had to own it, and thanks to Rob Steinmetz I do. I realize it is in a locker with a few Santo items, but I dont have any other Hands items, and by no means can I afford a Santo jersey, so for now it is a 1960's display

The other would have to be my Soriano collection. I picked all the items up within 2 weeks of each other. All from 2007 - Jersey, home & road hats, bat & cleats.

Well I am sure if you ask me again in a month it will be something else, as I have picked up more stuff this year than ever before.

Thanks to all who have helped me with building the beggining stages of my Cubs locker room.

Last but not least...someone PLEASE find me a Sutcliffe Cubs gamer

Mine would be tough as I completed a goal of obtaining every "Angels" font type across the front of the jersey this year and obtained GU caps that match the jersey style (picked up some big names too). However, this Nov and Dec, I was able to pick up some GU items of my favorite player - Troy Percival. Not just one, but three (or four if you count pants). A 2008 TBTC Rays uniform, a 2007 Cardinals jersey and a 2005 Tigers jersey. Thanks go to Jake, Jeff Scott and Bill (ironmanfan).

My favorite addition to my non-game used collection this year is a hand written letter from Vin Scully on his Dodgers stationary thanking me for a picture I sent to him. It was an original Barney Stein (photographer, Brooklyn Dodgers) photo of him and Pee Wee Reese. I was going to keep it, but I figured that it would be better served in Scully's possession for him to remember the Brooklyn days. I'm a Dodgers fan and have been listening to Scully call the games since I was a kid. Thank goodness we get the Prime Ticket (Fox) Southern California feed here in Hawaii.

Kind Regards,

Ron.

I have two major pick ups of 2008. The first is a 1926 yankee signed baseball. The autographs include Babe Ruth,Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri and a very faded Miller Huggins.

My second pick up is a Jose reyes game worn 2007 jersey. It was used in tom Glavines 300th win game. I have also photo-matched to him hitting a home run. This jersey shows great use.
