Best deal of the year?

The year is nearly over already, I think it's been a great one for collectors. What was the best deal of the year in your opinion? For me it was The Yardbirds / Eric Clapton @RT given the scarcity of his signature, the limited aspect of the release and the price.

Bono, it was a lottery but seems it worked out for everyone or at least a majority from Ireland and free delivery too.

I had the biggest happiest feeling when that arrived with the signed sticker when I opened the box.

Hey Jimmy... awesome list, my friend, you inspired me to write one too and it was so hard! Since I love ALL the autographs I got this year, but still, wanted to do a 'best of' anyway... Here's to another great year of collecting for all of us :)

My misses:

-Def Leppard autographed LP, slept out on this one. Will probably buy from a re-seller at some point.

-Avril Lavigne signed CD, slept out on this one as well, but not important enough for me to buy at this point...

-RHCP signed CD, sold out way too fast, and I skipped it sincethen.

Joke of the year:

-Fake Bono signatures with a fake 'Signed Copy' sticker from an all-too-real seller!! I sent him a message telling him that his forgeries have been posted on this forum's hall of shame :P
