What are your favorite pickups of 2010?
I figured we should have a thread about our favorite pickups of the year. If there's already a thread on this, I missed it. Photos are a must!
My favorite pickups would have to be my 2010 Adam Dunn LVS bat used to hit all 3 Home Runs in his only 3 HR game on 7/7/10 (and 2 more on 7/9/10) and my 2010 Joey Votto game used road jersey that was last used in the Roy Halladay NLDS historic game and is photomatched to games throughout the year. I have Andrew Lang and John Taube to thank on the Dunn and Mark Fugate and the Reds on the Votto. I also have to mention my Josh Willingham 2010 Set 1 alternate, probably used for most or all of the season. Thanks again to Andrew Lang on that one. Sorry for the terrible photos!

Sweet Dunn and Vott items!!
I had a really good year collecting wise, but my favorite is my latest. Jorge Posada glove photomatched to the 2001 playoffs all the way through game 3 of the WS. This would include The Jeter "flip play". Been lucky enough to photo match it to about 10 different playoff and WS pics. The only oddity is that he signed it "game used 07" Assuming he just signed it in 07 and dated it that way. Either way, this is my best pickup this year if not ever.

Mine is a 2009 Evan Longoria uncracked home run bat. This bat was used to hit is final home run of 2009 (#60 for his career). MLB authenticated, and hopefully photomatched from a prior thread. Enjoy!

Great thread!!
Had a good year based on the quality of the few things I added to my collection. Learning to not just jump at everything I see. Always nice to reflect on the year as a whole seeing how I haven't added anything in the past few months but looking back had a nice run earlier in the year.
Have always admired the look of the Rawlings Adirondack bats with the partial colored ring. Didn't know Manny even used these bats til I added one to my collection and then referenced some of his older baseball cards. This bat is dated 1996 with a nice older signature and the card is from 1994 period.

Great topic idea!
My most favorite pickup of 2010 is no doubt a Jason Heyward game worn home jersey. Though I sold it a week later, it was definitely cool being able to own it for a short while. I'm the first collector I believe to ever own a Heyward game jersey.

Can't post pics, but I'll go with my only personally obtained game home run of 2010...Paul Konerko season #34 HR and #99 RBI.

Re: What are your favorite pickups of 2010?
Mine would have to be the Orlando Cabrera Road Grey jersey that is MLB certified to Game one of the NLCS (Thanks again Ryan).... were Roy Halladay recorded the second ever postseason no hitter. I also have to thank Chris Boyd for a great year of wonderful items. My favorite items I acquired from him are as follows..... A uncracked hammered Hunter Pence Dinger bat, and a photomatched OC Rawlings bat from earlier this season. I also got from him a super early OC Sam bat from his Expos days. Thank you guys for helping me out, and here's to 2011!!!!
Happy New Years Everyone!

Re: What are your favorite pickups of 2010?
2010 was just a great and fortunate year for me with collecting game used memorabilia which I can't imagine topping. I got so many great items from so many great people on this forum. I'm going to have to go with my FIRST and LAST jerseys worn by Lastings as a Met. Just to be able to obtain both jerseys is really special to me and once again I have to thank Jim and Andy for both pickups. Both were great to work with and very understanding.
