:) Stunning Cobb, Sam! Such a classic.

Not a whole lot of signed Wagners out there:

Pure deliciousness. Very nice!

This would have to be one of them, though not worth much: unidentified boy, 1800s.

Big Train for me...

Robinson Cruso or Cafe du Monde

Best Looking VG-3's for those 2 cards I believe I have ever seen. You get my Value Picks of the Year award! Holy cow, those 2 cards are nice! If we were living in pre-graded times, I would look at those as say they were Ex condition, maybe even Ex-Mt. - Congrats!

Some beautiful cards everyone! I love seeing all of these pieces!

Thanks very much, J!

Amazing cards in this thread.
I always show my D381's, so if I were going to pick something different...

Here's my other big boy:

Eye appeal
 

CW, both of those cards have tremendous eye appeal. I would be ecstatic to own either of them, especially Ty.

My favorite Maris card.

Doesn't look the same without the 'fro and hair pick.

Ill go with this...
 

Maybe not a "mega-card" but I love it.

Not seen often, many HOFer's and just an overall cool piece.

Added to say a great transaction with a board member for it!

Any Red Sox Ruth is pretty big things in my book! Nice card Brad!

Thanks Erick!

Unique 1915 mounted photo from Red Sox spring training - perfect for my early Red Sox collection....

WOW!!!!!! The Babe looks a bit more "comfortable" than Ty in his rookie team shot!

Cool thread. Great cards everyone!!

This mantle is my #1! :)

My Centerpieces
 

Great cards everyone!!

Here's my favorites:

Tony

Tony...I'm speechless.

For "my money" tony is winning right now :)

Ogden's
 

Mine is also a Wagner..........just pronounced differently

Josh, does this Wagner help my case? Haha. Keeping on thread, I still consider the mantle as my collection's centerpiece even though it's not pre-war...

It does lol
Great card!! Something about those Joe Jackson's the Briesch/Plank and then tbe LC Wagner... That's gonna be tough to beat.

One things for sure... You all beat me... For now ;)

mine is the Bill Denehy rookie card

Fun thread. Great to see so many awesome cards. So I'll cheat and list some of my favorite American cards too. The McCormick slab makes me want to puke btw.

Seriously??:
:rolleyes:


Incredible

These are a few that are important to me.....

After owning a half dozen types of Matty's, I decided the only one that fit my eye was the 1910 W-UNC. Took 3 years to locate an example I could purchase.

I generally don't like cards that look beaten, can't tell you exactly why this 14' Cracker Jack Big Train works for me - it just does. I love the wear....

http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...CJwjohnson.jpg

This Ruth is easily my favourite image of his.

http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...OxfordRuth.jpg

Always wanted something really early that spoke of baseball's beginnings.

And the card that started my vintage interest.

http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/a...ia/58aaron.jpg

For such a ferocious man it looks like Cobb had limp handshake.

Why are you making this a competition?

I'd have to go with the same:

or my Ruth:

Great items everyone. Threads like these are always fun and enjoyable..

I could choose between several items, but I'll go with this one today.

That is pretty awesome!!

One more Babe Ruth added and another one of my favorites

Some amazing cards here folks! Awesome eye candy. For me, either of these I think.

These would be mine...its all about the CJs.

Stole my thunder!! 1914's all the way!!

Wow!!!
 

Ho. Ly. Crap.
That's a rather solid trio.
Nice cards!

I don't really have one "mega-Card" as the centerpiece of my collection but my Zeenut card collection is definitely the Centerpiece of the collection. Hard to scan over 2,700 different cards but here are some highlights...

Wow, Dean. Just wow. Are those beautiful! Incredible eye appeal. That's my favorite Ruth, and I hope to own one very soon.

I always love seeing these kinds of topics. They bring out the little kid in me.

My Walter Johnson is still the centerpiece of my collection.

God willing, I can avoid going under the knife for a while, and start collecting again here soon. :)

Awesome cards Rhett.

I love the Arbuckle card!! How many different horizontal Zeenuts are there?

Not to ask too many questions, but how close are you to completing all the Zeenut sets?

I agree 100%:)

Great Cracker Jacks Steve.

Wow Rhett

Nice stuff
