Posted By: fkwOf ones I own... this is one of my favs because of the mystery. Plus I have always liked cards that no one else has <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>.

Posted By: BillGreat card Brian. I've been dabbling (though not lately) in the Obak cards and that is one that I would just flat out love to have in my collection. Can't say what my favorite card is. It seems every time I sit down just to go through my collection, I find something I forgot that I had. (Most of my collection is post-war) Favorite card I have? No idea, nothing that's a big deal and seeing that I'm on the other side of the world right now, I can't even see my cards. Favorite card I don't own? Probably 1939 Play Ball Ted Williams simply because, well, it's Teddy Ballgame and I love the Sox. Change your socks, drink water, and drive on.

Posted By: Eric BrehmI gotta go with these two, which would be the last to go if I ever sold all my pre-war stuff. They seem to me like the quintessential cards of the period. I like the 1933 Goudeys too, but more as a set; in that case there's no single card that stands out as a favorite. <img src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r143/ebrehm1/Cobb_red-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r143/ebrehm1/Jackson103.jpg">

Posted By: MVSNYCjoe- awesome card! any plans on crossing it over? might be a 7?

Archive

12-05-2007, 06:34 AM

Posted By: Joe D.Thanks for the kind words. I will cross it - but I am in no rush. In person, it does look like a possible 7 or at the very least a strong 6. I will not crack out this card - so I guess a 6 is more likely than a 7 (unless they don't mind giving it a grade bump on a cross). It measures correctly, and I don't see any evidence of altering (but I am not a professional). I want to do a same-day at-show cross.... I am hopeful that I will go to the National next year. If so, I would look to cross it there.

Posted By: David BThis is my first vintage card and still my favorite. My oldest card in my collection before was a 1957 Frank Robinson rookie. Also love it since he has a funny name. Am truly a 5th grader at heart. Always wanted to start a "Show me your Glasscock" thread but figured it had been done before. <img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u200/Nedwob53/scan-5.jpg">
