[QUOTE="Mat, post: 2940657, member: 21445"]2017 has been a big year for me in terms of acquiring many Alexandrian Tets. As much as I like Syrian Tets, they are usually much less affordable in my monthly price bracket then Alexandrians. I acquired about 30 this year and it really is hard to pick just a handful. Below are the ones I picked. Just a note, many are selected because I got/won them cheaply or for a bit of rareness they are. The one that kickstarted my 2017 year or Alexandrian. A lady in Tet form I never thought I would own.
