Happy New Year to all! -Ryan-
Man that Klay card is sick! Did you buy the card as is or did you get the redemption? Great stuff!
My top five are
Michael Jordan DJO Exquisite Collection 2011-12
Kyrie Irving Limited RC AU 2012-13*
Kyrie Irving P&P RC AU 2011-12
Kyrie Irving Limite Unlimited Potential AU 2012-13*
Karl Malone Limited Curtain Call Prime 7/10*
* means I have traded it and the Jordan has a trade on it, but I haven't heard from the other guy.

I also have A Brook Lopez Material Monikers Prime 5/10 Limited 2012-13
2013 was a pretty good year for me. I added some very nice cards to both my basketball and baseball card collections. Here are 5 of my favorite basketball pick-ups from this year that I currently own.

Not sure what criteria we are using here. Me? I will use my top 5 favorites that I picked up:
5.- This is almost not really "right" because it is a recent pick up. It is like hearing a song for the first few times and declaring that it is the best song ever. A good song? Sure. Best song ever? Highly unlikely. Is this a nice card? I think so. Should it really be in my top five for 2013 pick ups? Probably not.

4-This was #1 on my "list to pick up" for 2013. I got it. I've had it. Now it just sits in a box. Kind of sad if you think of it...

3-This was a really nice hit out of a $50 box- It is /5

2-This card should NOT be in the top 2. It really shouldn't. However, I hit it on Christmas from wax that my wife grabbed for me and it is from my favorite product to bust right now because the price point has just dropped out the bottom.

1-Another recent pick up but a nice one. I like rookie refectors.

An honorable mention goes to any of the $1 pick ups from card shows that I have attended over the course of the year. Anytime you can get something for $1 that has some sort of value, trade or sell, it is a good thing.

Thanks man! I got it via redemption from Panini, hence the tape at the top. I have his 1/1 Logoman from Immaculate on its way as well, I love Klay's game! Hes like a mix of Allan Houston, Steve Smith and Reggie Miller, as a player. Thats my best Klay Thompson comp.! cheers -Ryan-
Nice looking cards all. Loving that 1961 Fleer Wilt. Such a well centered example, never see. A 6 with that kind of eye appeal.

I've been refocusing on the PC, both MJ and Mantle and added these:

And one baseball but had to add it, best of the year by far!
