Hi all!

Well, the end of the year is fast approaching and 2017 will soon be upon us! I thought it might be a good time to reflect on our footy collecting for 2016 and I hereby ask one question and request (if practical!):

What was your favourite footy-related addition to your collection in the last twelve months?

This is mine:

I think Select did a magnificent job with Certified this season.

Post away!! :)
 
My favourite pick up of 2016 was the Shane Crawford 2000 Brownlow sig I picked up back in April. My favourite 2016 card is my Sam Mitchell Footy's Finest. 2016 Certified really was one of the best releases, looking forward to some Hawks patch cards in 2017.

Amazing cards. Love it!

Just quitely, you picked up the 2000 Brownlow Sig Redemption for a nice price if it's the one from here :)

...and how about that Mitchell Footy's Finest - we both managed to hit one each from the same break. Crazy!

Only shame about it is Mitch won't finish out his career in the brown and gold.

Just wait for what I put up. I have a feeling you (and other Hawks fans) will love it :D

A couple of very nice cards! I was actually looking through the thread I made on Jan 1 this year about goals for 2016 (http://www.ozcardtrader.com.au/threads/2015-reflections-and-2016-hopes.192291/) and you mentioned you were hoping to pick up a Crawford Brownlow Signature - always good to achieve one of those goals :)

Good thread idea Matty! But I bet you wouldn't find many Hawks supporters nominating a Geelong card as their favourite pick up for the year :p

I'll put mine up tomorrow :)
 
@CardHawk and Scotty_WCE......come on, come on - the suspense is killing me!! :)

Hoping for more contributions too, now that New Year's Day has been and gone! I really love the cards shown so far.
OK, here's my overdue contribution! Apologies in advance for the big post - it was too hard to choose one favourite pick up!

My biggest hit for the year was a Dayne Beams Guernsey Signature Redemption that I got in a box of Certified. Getting that allowed me to trade for this beauty:

I also managed to pick up the two Eagles Certified Signatures, including pulling the McGovern one from a single loose pack!

And a couple of 2016 West Coast wildcards.

And finally, a few cards I was very excited to add to my collection - the 2006 West Coast Eagles Predictor and Premiership Cards!

So I was pretty happy with the year all in all. My main focus in 2017 is going to be the Eagles match worn cards in Series 2 while also hopefully knocking a chunk of the low to mid-end cards off my wantlist.
 
Hope the wait was worth it lol.

So this came up.

Looking forward to collecting my first Hawthorn guernsey patch card this year. Funny saying that as just about every sport and card manufacturer roll them out like a normal insert card.

If the second one didn't make me jealous enough that Crawford sure did. Awesome additions, well done.
 
This was definitely my best pick-up for 2016. 80/80 is like a number 0 card to me as if cards should have been numbered 00-79 if limited to 80. How good does Jeremy look in the ACT home colours and special thanx to drama5 to point out
