Best items/highlights of 2011 for you?

[CPuente57]

I've really started to get more and more into the game used hobby and ween off collecting cards, once I bought my ARod bat last year I was hooked! This year I've added some great pieces including a Miguel Cabrera Autographed Game Used Bat, Albert Pujols Game Used Bat, Dwyane Wade Autographed Game Used Jersey, and just before the end of the year a Paul Pierce Game Used Jersey. I've added some others as well, but those are the big items. Football still eludes me, as it's the only sport I don't have a game used piece in. Hopefully that'll change in 2012! Also am hoping to add an MJ gamer to my collection this next year!

By far, the highlight of my year for collecting was the pink mother's day bat of Robinson Cano from 2010 that I was able to have photomatched.

I had to sell off almost all of my bats this year due to my wife having to quit when the Navy moved us West. I was able to get my collection back going once we got settled.

My best pick ups of 2011 included:

-2009 Chipper Jones game used jersey
-2010 All Star Game game used baseball
-2001 National League Opening Day baseball (Diamondbacks from WS series)
-2001 PNC Park Inaugural Game game used baseball (only 2 authenticated)
-Several game used bats

I would like to take this opportunity to thank some people who helped me this year. Jake Jahimiak, Andrew Lang, and Bobby Texeira all helped me add significant pieces to my collection this year.

Same kind of deal for me as well. I nabbed the pink game used HR bat of grady sizemorethis year and photo and video matched to the HR at bat.

2011 was kind to me in terms of 49ers GU items although it was NOT kind to my bank account!

Highlights include:

Deion Sanders 1994 home throwback worn vs Denver
Deion Sanders 1994 away throwback worn vs San Diego

Steve Young 1994 away throwback vs San Diego

Aldon Smith Mizzou gamer worn vs Kansas

Frank Gore 2010 International Series gamer vs Broncos with a sweet photomatch!

Jeff Fuller #49 home Russell gamer. Won this in a Legendary Auction and was told it had "light use" when I called them prior to the auction ending. A very nice surprise when it arrived and was covered with repairs!

Always buying 49ers GU items and ANY 1994 49er gamer! Paying a finders fee and also a bonus to the first person who sells me a 1994 49er GU item.

Lot of great items this year, but top of the list is my Mo Rivera '99 jersey picked up from 8D Auction.

Honorable Mention to my 2011 Brad Lidge Phillies TBTC jersey and 2008 World Series Game 1 baseball (attributed to a Carlos Pena fielding error/Pat Burrell Reached base).

Although it may not have been a highlight career thus far for my player this whole year was a highlight in terms of my collection. This is my first year collecting and I was able to obtain a FULL GU outfit including helmet, jersey, pants, belt, and shoes. Was able to get a 9.11 Jersey as well as 2 different Game worn Jerseys. Not to shabby for a beginner I guess.

Great year but tough on the bank account is right!
