What was your favorite sports card pick up of 2020?

I only ended up with five cards (two of which are doubles because I liked the card so much) but my favorite pick up was probably this 2018 Topps Chrome Sapphire Ronald Acuna card. Its such a great looking card in hand. Love the cracked ice look along with the now famous bat down pose.

What was your favorite pick up? Doesn't need to be your most expensive either.

    Wow! Love the sextuplets!
    STILL the most iconic 80's card. Or at least in the top 5.
    I've had a certain infatuation with the card ever since my early days of collecting

    I am 100% with you. The crouched batting stance, the dark backdrop of the dugout and the bright yellow and green colors make this card standout. Rickey is easily a top 10-15 player of all time and I cannot get enough of this card for some reason.

    Not my "most favorite card" for 2020 as per thread title;
    however I was thrilled to add Chief to my T206 set earlier this year.

    VERY nice card! Definitely on my list :smiley: I've seen a few of those cycle through eBay, but the price tag is beyond my reach (for now!)

    Thank you, I appreciate that.
    I won this one at auction. The BIN people are trying to price too high.

    Buying this raw at the beginning of the year and subbing it:

    Jesus. Nice card!

  • galaxy27galaxy27 Posts: 7,892 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @rofles you just won the internet

    it's one thing to own a sick card like that, but the fact that you procured it raw and submarined it yourself................that is invaluable brother

    you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet

    Awesome card.
    Does mine look like a 10?

    Other guys have better eyes than me. Pics are tough to distinguish. My take is difference between 9 and 10 is often subjective.

    Heritage just sold one for $27,600. They have another PSA 10 starting in mid Jan and expected to fetch 25K+. That's certainly a card you will want to hold onto for a while.

  • VagabondVagabond Posts: 589 ✭✭✭✭

    That Aaron looks solid. From where I'm sitting, it looks like it should be an 8 at minimum. What cant we see?

  • balco758balco758 Posts: 1,396 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Vagabond - thanks for that info. Do have a link to the heritage auction you are referencing? Couldn’t find. Thx!

    My favorite pickup this year. Regretted selling a PSA 4 and a SGC 3.5 several years ago until I replaced them with this one.

    JB that is one gorgeous upgrade you did there! I have card envy :)

    that's a really nice card. why is it graded so low does it have a surface issue or wrinkle on it.

  • KendallCatKendallCat Posts: 2,999 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Awesome pickup JB - my son has been wanting us to get an Aaron rookie card for our collection. Guess I better follow your lead. What a great looking card!!

    A very small wrinkle at the top that comes down to the second letter "a" in Aaron. My scanner always picks up small wrinkles on cards and it cannot pick it up on this one. You have to hold it at just the right angle and great lighting to see it.

    Thanks KC. Good luck with your collecting. Pretty cool to have your son so involved. Do you still have that 57 PSA 2.5 Mantle?

  • jay0791jay0791 Posts: 3,528 ✭✭✭✭

    I can't believe you were able to get that Gibson Raw. So nice in that holder.

    Tremendous eye appeal on the 53 Mantle.

    Interesting "real" RC of Cookie. Nobody knows who he is. However, if FB were like BK and all player accolades are considered Cookie would be a 1st Ballot HOFer.

    I have to be honest that Aaron is drewelling material.
