Here's mine...
Tempted to sale many times... just can't part with it, even-though its just not that big a deal. |
Here's the mega card in my modest collection. Possibly soon to be supplanted after an upcoming auction :D

Some beautiful pieces in here everyone! I'll toss in a bit of a modern piece that I like, due to the number of legends. It is of the James Naismith sport (shame on you NJ!), but I like it nonetheless :D

I'm more of a set collector, so it's harder to pick one card. I look for front/back combos that don't come up too often, and it's fun to take them out and see the result of all the time (way too much :D) that I have put into searching. I took a couple pics when I visited my safe deposit box today.
If I had to pick one card as the centerpiece, it might be my e95 Cobb. |

This thread is amazing, and has lots of show-stoppers, but for whatever reason, Bruce's Duffy cabinet is my favorite thing that ever gets posted on this board. I drool over it every time.

I am so tempted to sell my Harper and Trout rookies. Those would pay for about half of a nice PSA 2.5-3. |
My Wife bought me this one

My wife bought this Cobb for me and I lost her 2 years ago. It will always be special to me. She shared my passion for collecting. What a special lady she was.

What a great Cobb!! My wife and I both collect together. Some of our best times have been involving the hobby. |
Great stuff all!
Even in baseball I can't really make a choice because I don't have a marquee card. But prewar it would have to be one of these: 1920s Universal Surprise Box Ruth-Johnson-Sisler-Alexander: http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...20baseball.jpg Ty Cobb strip made with Exhibit PC art: http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...Unc%20Cobb.jpg Exhibit and related strips of Jim Thorpe: http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...for%20site.jpg |
pre-war centerpiece ? Okay .

....not very clean nor bright but for some reason this Canadian 1936 World Wide Gum Hank is my thirties centerpiece ; what's weird is that this is possibly the smallest card I own ; my focus has always been "the big stuff" , from 1929 Kashin up to 1939 salutation exhibits and all the big-ass "R" cards in between.........but this little guy is the one that makes me smile... .. |
Super thread guys! Some o mine...pre war favs...

If had the Trouts and Harpers worth the big bucks, I'd certainly sell to fund the purchase of #144! |

If I had to pick a favorite then my Joseph Laughlin Old Mill Cabinet would be my pick.

Since the National has had a few days of trading, buying, and selling, I'd like to give this thread a friendly bump. Any new collection centerpieces?

Not really valuable, but one of my favorite pre war cards. I love the Crawford image in the postcard. I had a few more valuable to share, but I couldn't get the upload to work.

I have a few cards that are my centerpiece for different sets, but these two always stand out as one's I love in my collections.

Tough to pick one, but I think the "Babe" is my centerpiece.

Great cards everyone. Sorry, no scanner, but would be very hard to pick just one. Among the possibilities would be the following:
(1) 1907 Dietsche Fielding Pose Ty Cobb (2) 1907 Wolverine News Cobb portrait (3) 1939 V351 Ted Williams (4) 1939 R303A Ted Williams (5) 1923 Lections Babe Ruth (6) 1931-32 Exhibit Ruth (7) 1953-54 Briggs Willie Mays (8) 1926-29 Exhibit Postcard back Jimmie Foxx (9) 1955 Exhibit Postcard Back Mickey Mantle The history of the game you can hold right in your hands! Best to all, Larry |

Both are my avatar now but here's a bigger pic(s) of them. Revisiting this thread has made me want to purchase a Ruth, Cobb and a Joe Jackson card for some reason? (I can only wish!) |

Hi John
I will consider it. :) Had the moons not aligned, and Heritage had my collection for sale at the time, I never could have afforded it. It is a big purchase (to me) which I have not regretted for a second. There some fantastic cards in this thread and thanks to everyone who has shared. PS...dreaming about cards is not healthy, though I bet every hardcore collector on this board has done it!! Quote:

I love the Ruth auto of him pitching very unique
fun looking at all these great cards |

This is cheating a bit, but these four are probably tied for my favorite.

Probably this card now. Ocean front property as they say:

Today these two feel like my favorites from the 2 main sets I collect:

[QUOTE=clydepepper;1570518]Attachment 240718
[attach]240719 Raymond, the colors and the clarity on your 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth are truly at the top of the spectrum---spectacular, bro! A genuine Sultan of Swat home run of a card. I would list a couple of my own mega-card favorites---but I don't know how to load up an image; my tech support son is sleeping off his shift. Besides, they're POST-WAR-1980 anyway. However, to quote a word from our Leon Luckey, they are most assuredly NOT "pedestrian".:D ---Brian Powell |
