Moving up another year through my collection brings me to 2006 today. Here are nine cards from that year that I've scanned from my collection.

2006 Artifacts AL/NL Artifacts Blue #DJA Derek Jeter Jsy/325
2006 Artifacts Auto-Facts Signatures #KG Ken Griffey Jr./800 (Back in 2001 I stopped by the local K-Mart and bought one pack of 2001 Topps cards. I remember ripping it open at a red light and pulling a 1991 Bowman "Shot Heard Around the World" card of Bobby Thomson's famous home run. It appeared to be signed in gold ink by both Thomson and pitcher Ralph Branca. It took me a while to realize it was actually an autographed card, the first auto I'd ever pulled. Years later I sent it to greekgooney in Canada straight up for this Griffey auto. Griffey was my favorite player and this remains one of my favorite cards in my collection. I think it's cool that it's serial numbered exactly halfway through the print run.)

2006 Topps Allen and Ginter Relics #BB Barry Bonds Uni G
2006 Topps Mantle Home Run History Bat Relics #R493 Mickey Mantle (I traded 10 Red Sox game-used cards for this one with my friend over in Scotland who is a Red Sox fan thanks to the TV show Cheers. It took a lot for this Red Sox fan to give up that many Red Sox game-used cards but it's Mickey "Freakin" Mantle and it's numbered 3/7.)
