The Top Pickups Of 2016

Last year I did a Top 10 Pickups of 2015 so I decided it would be a nice piece to follow up with at the end of each year. This year as I was working on my list I realized I had way to many cards so I decided to do two lists with one solely Griffey cards and one list of all the rest.

This one was very difficult because I did pick up some wonderful cards and I did add some very nice cards to my Ryan Bader, Jay Buhner and Steve Largent collections plus there were some cards I would have added to this list except I had intended to write a post about those specific cards so I decided to leave them off this list but the list is still some wonderful pickups this year.
