Centerpiece
 

This topic came up with some buddies the other day and I hadn't put much thought into it before. When I think of a centerpiece, I think of my a card or item that is the center of what I collect and not necessarily value. I love deadball, I love Cobb and I do appreciate rarity and have become more enamored with PCs over the part years so I chose what I did. Centerpieces could refer to anything like childhood cards or a special gift, but this is how I defined it for myself. Anyone else?

If I had to pick one item, it would be the Plank in my avatar. But when I show my collection, my Merkle back run is the thing that means the most to me.

Sorry, but it's too large to post in this space.

Looks like a true Cobb rookie postcard as it was Issued in 1906. Great Sporting Life PC Steven and well deserving to be a centerpiece in any collection.

I just wish ballplayers would bring those hairstyles and apparel back

My most valuable card is a M101-5 Famous & Barr Babe Ruth. t my favorite card, which I guess is my centerpiece is a 1961 Mickey Mantle. The Mantle was the first card my dad bought me at a baseball card shop in a mall. Which started my hobby in the late 80's. I have since sold 99% of my cards so I could be house poor, but still have the mantle.

My Columbus Solons OJ subset is my centerpiece. Since getting my first Columbus OJ my entire collection took on a Columbus Ohio baseball theme. Of that set, my recently acquired Spud Johnson holds the top spot.

Nice postcard, Steven. The term centerpiece means, to me, what is the first thing from your collection you would show a person ? We probably all have 1 or 2 :) ...

I like that...way simpler than what I said.

My Centerpiece is my 1933 Goudey- Babe Ruth #144

I even have a T-Shirt with it displayed!

...and a lapel pin...and a fridge magnet...
