My Top 10 Acquisitions Of 2025

It's been a cold few days here with temps in the single to low teens during the day and below zero at night. Before I can get my fingers going on another new post, I will need a hot cup of joe to warm me up.

*takes a sip, feels it warming the body up already*

I originally was going to tackle my Christmas gifts posts, but thought I must tackle today's post so I can finish up all of my 2025 series posts the first three days of the month.

You must be impressed to be able to come here three days in a row.

I guess this shows what time I have open with school break, we will see how much blogging I do after January 26th.

Today's post is showing off my Top 10 Acquisitions of 2025. There is no particular order below for my Top 10 acquisitions as they are all equal. I could have added more and made this a Top 20. But I just wanted to narrow it down.

*takes a sip trying to get warmer*

First card up is this /5 Rodney Hampton autograph. Low numbered Rodney's are being harder to come by. There seems to be someone else who is chasing them down and competing with me.

Next up, a card with a great story (search for it from last year) and from a fellow blogging friend who saw my Top Want List. This was an obvious choice to make this list.

Following that up is my way of cheating three cards on here. But, I feel the trio of Boy Meets World autographs have to stick together.

The next card was a huge set knocker. thanks to a RAK on Twitter With this one, I should be able to finally complete this set in 2026. Hopefully I can stay focused!

 
Yes, I cheated again, but just like Boy Meets World, Impractical Jokers belong together on this list.

A tough-rare Ken Griffey Jr card that someone just sent me just as a friend and fellow Ken Griffey Jr collector? Yeah, that makes the list.

Lou was one of three major additions to my non-sport autograph PC of 2025.

Geena Davis was another big knockdown of 2025 for my non-sport autograph PC.

Shark Tooth, ooooh haha. For those of you that have seen Finding Nemo you will get that reference. For those of you who haven't, well, it's a cool memorabilia relic, it's worthy of this list.

And finally, Alec Baldwin with his Schweddy balls had to make it since he was one of the three big non-sport autograph adds last year.

Well, there you have them. Let me know which card(s) you thought should have made the list I left out or which one is your favorite and why.

Hope everyone has a great Saturday and.be there for others today. Sometimes we all get caught up in our own lives way too much and forget that others exist.

I also hope it is warmer where you are reading this today.

  1. a. Three posts in three days is awesome! I'm very impressed. Keep it up.

    b. Can't remember any specific cards you left off your list, but that Topanga auto is sweet!

    c. Good luck to your girls today!

    d. Although I love cold weather, zero degrees is a bit extreme. I'm more of a low 50's to low 60's kind of guy.

  2. Great additions to your collection. My basketball coaching will kick in by the end of the month. We are in a heatwave here this morning at 14 degrees above zero! Enjoy the time all.
