I'll start with my favorite recent pickups. None are really valuable, but each is a cool piece of Football card history.
1995 Topps had box sets celebrating the Jaguars and Panthers Inaugural year with a Gold Foil Stamp. Each team's box set was limited to 4000 sets.
Here's the Barry Sanders I picked up:

Also I collect Pro Set errors and corrections, which is odd, but fun. I picked up the 3rd and final version of a 1990 Andre Rison card I needed to have all 3 slabbed.
