Top 10 For 2020

Despite the Coronavirus pandemic (or perhaps in part because of it), I set a new personal record this year with 215 successes, bringing my all-time total over the last five years to 709!  This year's Top Ten list includes three basketball players (one of whom is better known from his coaching days), three baseball players, a hockey player, a race car driver, and two well-known personalities from the entertainment industry.  Somehow, football was shutout of this year's list.  As usual, there were some tough cuts, but 2020 was a solid TTM year.  Here's to 2021!  Also of note, in the photo, only the cards from the top row were acquired TTM, as you've probably assumed. The number one return from this year took its prominent place within this display.
