Favorite Card(s) - Non HOF Edition [Archive]

Hey All,

I know we all have favorite cards. And I have a feeling most of our favorites also happen to be HOFers. But what are your favorite cards of non HOFers?

Post some of your favorites and let's see what we come up with. I know it's hard to pick just one, so post a few if you want to. You don't have to own the card to post it either.

Here are a few of mine to get started.

Best regards,

AndyH

I have liked the Jack Barry card from the t207 set since I first found out about it. I just won it off ebay and expecting it soon.

I agree with your pick for Oakes, though I don't own one, I have always liked that it breaks the past the top part of the box.

Nice cards so far - that Rebel Oakes pose is becoming one of my favorite caramel poses.

Hate to be unoriginal, but I have to agree with the Oakes. I also really like the T205 John Nee.

Another front I liked enough to attempt a back run of (I do have another back to add to this scan)

They both know how to strike a pose and have similar background. Perhaps they will perform a few ditties at your next lawn party?:D

Nice cards Andy. If those error backs were T206s, you could retire! :D

I always thought Ames was one of the nicer T3's

Great idea for a thread, Andy. Absolutely love and own several already shown.

There are so many I (an addict) likes, it's hard to pick only one..

Paul, the Charlie Hall horizontal is another of my favorites and I was going to post that one as well, but didn't want to go over 4 cards for some reason.

Rhett, I love most horizontals too. Especially the 1909 Obak ones. They just look so awesome. I've never seen the Zeenuts you posted, thanks for sharing those ones.

Keep 'em coming guys, these are all great choices so far!!

Dutch Revelle never made the Major Leagues, but his T206 portrait is one of my favorite pre-war cards.

I am so happy to now own this.

Oakes' glove outside boarder is great. But, Upp's butt outside boarder dosen't seem to get as much attention :rolleyes:

Thats the first card I've seen where damage actually ADDS to its coolness! (Aside from big ass Bucky of course)

I totally forgot about the Upp card! Another one of my favorites.

And of course the Hal Chase blue portrait too. Good choice Chris.

Scott,

I was hoping the B.E. Thompson would show up. Thanks for posting that one.

I have to say, I'm surprised by how many black and white cards showed up in this thread. I'm not sure why, I was just surprised.

Great cards so far guys. Thanks a lot for sharing all of your choices.

Best regards,

I've always loved the T206 Bill Donovan cards. The lime green really pops and the throwing pose is one of the most beautiful sunset cards in the set IMO.
