Let's See Some Collection "Top Tens" [Archive]

MattyC

So seeing how we are all collectors, I just realized that so many times we are viewing our cards as singular additions (i.e., monthly pickup, auction-specific pickup, or player/set-specific threads).

One aspect of assembling a collection that I've always found satisfying is how the whole can feel so much greater than the parts viewed separately. In other words, it's great seeing a grouping of awesome cards that have become part of one collection-- not unlike a murderer's row-style lineup of great hitters, that lineup becomes its own impressive thing, beyond the hitters examined discretely. Each are impressive on their own, but when you realize a team has all that talent, it takes on a new light.

Anyways, with that in mind, thought it could be cool to see not just the usual one or two, but up to say ten scans of cards from different collections, which would give people a sense of the character or personality of the collection. Could be any cards, for any reason selected to represent a collection.

Of course this would be scan-heavy, but those are my favorite threads-- to me what it's all about. Hence why I love browsing those collection gallery websites now and then.

This should be an outstanding thread. Showing who you are in 10 cards and what best represents your collection and what is important to you. Give us both barrels, guys! Gnashing my teeth at my own lack of Net tech expertise. :(---Brian Powell

I'm afraid that I only collect two sets, but here are a couple of my favorites from these sets:

Centering, centering, centering....Did I mention centering?? :) Unless it's a pretty rare card, centering trumps all for me. I hope you guys don't mind that I keep posting the same cards over and over.

Dean,

Seeing all those centered beauties in one shot is phenomenal. Some real classics there. Much different experience seeing a collection, as opposed to seeing them individually over a long period of time.

I love that horizontal Zeenut up above; what a cool image.

Such amazing stuff people have! And so cool to see emerging themes among the cards in a collection.

MBM, you somehow manage to have high-grade cards that still look undergraded! That is my dream Mantle RC right there-- a centered 7 with snow white borders.

The approach I've taken has been like my own spin on the PSA "Top 250 Sportscards" book. Basically choosing cards that I love on an aesthetic level, but when viewed as a whole, they should also form a well-rounded picture of both baseball's legendary players and baseball card history-- all eras. So there is a type-aspect to it, in that I'd want one M101-4/5 card, one CJ, one e90-1, one 52 Topps, etc. Ideally, one day, I'll have all sets and great players represented. Where it is possible to choose, I like centering for eye appeal.

Like many I adore back wear, as it can make a card with a very expensive front affordable. I always love it when a friend or family member will look at a card, then go on to the next one, and not even look at the back!

Chronologically, some key pieces...

I love love love the fact that you included a 89 Upperdeck and a 1990 Leaf Frank Thomas in here. I love pre-war as much as anyone but nothing brings back my childhood like seeing a 1990 Frank Thomas Leaf RC brings me right back to the summer of 1991 when I attempted to trade my entire collection for this card, then went to play baseball at the YMCA after hanging out with my Dad and Grandpa. These moments are what baseball cards are all about. One of the most vivid moments of my childhood takes me right back. Thank you.

My collection is all over the map: pre-war, post-war, majors, minors, photos, postcards, autographs, artwork etc etc. Hard to pick a definitive "top ten". On any given day each of the following items would qualify as favorites.

I never thought I would ever see a "Lethal Leigh" Mathews card posted on this site. I had to chuckle, back in the 80's I would tape the Friday night Aussie rules games on ESPN and watch them later, Mathews was my favorite!

68Hawk

10-07-2013, 08:58 AM

"Lethal" Leigh Mathews earned his moniker in many ways.
Considered the greatest player of all time in Aussie rules football, he scored, he dominated, and he was feared because he could put you to sleep. He then went on to coach two different teams to a combined 4 premierships, the super bowls of Aussie Rules.

This youtube tells you all you need to know, and is part of the folklore of my hometown game.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Pcto2svWReU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Breaking a wooden goal post by running into it, as Australian as you can get :D

If you'd like to know if Aussie rules is as tough as is suspected, check the following youtube from the same week of games (circa 1982), specifically the Hawthorn / Essendon game which were notorious for their vigor.

great catch!! At least they were in order on the submission (only one digit different & with the same grade)...so it looks like they simply put the wrong card in each holder...now CharleyBrown will have to keep them together so in aggregate, it all works!

Here are my top 10 favorites from my collection. (In all honesty my sliding Billy Hamilton cabinet would probably take the place of Alex but it's not available right now. don't tell Alex) Top ten to me means what cards 'do I like the most' - some have big value some smaller and some bring back memories of my dad who bought me cards when I was a kid.

I think after I post I'll scroll down from the top again to see everyone's beautiful cards. Thanks for asking so I have reason to pull them together and scan them. -peter

Great cards Pete, you know I'd love any one of those CJ's you picked up as a kid...didn't know you had that 1869 P/S card, what a beauty! Too bad each of us didn't wind up with another card to put in this group, maybe next time!

This is an awesome thread! Some really beautiful and valuable cards. I know this is more on memorabilia side but wanted to share anyway (hope that's ok). Here are my 7 all related to Creighton ranging in dates from 1860 to 2013. FWIW, I do have another project that I'm working on that is card related and interestingly enough will get me to 10 items :D

Being married to a KS farm girl, I appreciate your devotion to legendary Kansans. Just imagine if Smokey Joe could have pitched as long as WaJo, and faced him a couple dozen more times. Great pics

Amazing collection, Clint. Humboldt's just applied for a Smithsonian local history exhibit grant for 2015, and I told them I would help. If they get it, we'll be coming for your Walters to put on display!

I didn't know that you ended up getting the Page Fence Giants Ad Card after all. And the c1908 Leland Giants Team PC is probably one of the best PCs in the hobby!!

Thanks! I think it shouldn't be understated how rare it is to find the Mino and Kotton and Mendelsohn cards you have in such great condition. I don't know that I've ever seen such fine examples of any of these cards, let alone of one HOF player in one collection.

Your Cobbs and Honus Tip Top Bread are INSANE! As is that undergraded 1953 Mantle PSA 7. Amazing cards.

Awesome stuff all around. What it's all about.

Neat idea! I love those Exhibit cards:

ca. 1925 Babe Ruth-Rogers Hornsby-Mickey Walker-Georges Carpentier:

1920s Exhibit freaks and oddities card of Zip the pinhead:

1931 Jim Thorpe:

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibitman/interestingexhibitcards/websize/1931%20PC%20Back%20Thorpe%20comparison.jpg

My cousin on a 1928 Exhibit card:

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibitman/interestingexhibitcards/websize/1928%20Miller%203.jpg

1926 Exhibit Four Marks [sic] Brothers. This is the only Marx Brothers exhibit card I have ever seen. It is from a rare set of theatrical cards. The card mentions their stage work but not their films because they had not yet made a film. The Cocoanuts was their new play on Broadway and would not be filmed until after the silent film era ended.

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibitman/interestingexhibitcards/websize/1926%20Exhibit%20Marx%20Bros.jpg

Cheating a bit here, as it is not a card though it is encapsulated by SGC. Advertising header for the 1921 Exhibit boxing/wrestling issue:

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibitman/interestingexhibitcards/websize/Dempsey%20advertisement.jpg

Another 'cheat': a checklist card for the 1951 print run of baseball exhibits:

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibitman/interestingexhibitcards/websize/1947-66%20Exhibit%20Checklist%20Card%20edit.jpg

Finally, 1932 Olympics issue of Babe Didrikson, the greatest female athlete of all time:
