My highest graded Buchner HOF'er

Thanks, Phil. Yea, I love this card. I can't believe I own it, and it's the only card in my collection that I consider irreplaceable. It's currently in a good home (in a climate controlled safety deposit box :rolleyes:).

Favorites
 

19th Century favorite....tough decision, so here are both of them

Two early 20th Century favorites

1904 Eastern League Champions....the year there was no World Series in Major League Baseball

One of the toughest of the 27 white-bordered red Cobb's

I had to include these two favorites simply because their cards represent a year in which their records may never be broken

Post WWII favorite

1949 LEAF......NOT 1948 !

Last but not least....after all, I only paid a penny for my Mantle in the Fall of 1952

Please excuse the multiple "favorites" .... but, I find it hard to believe that anyone can just select a single "favorite" card from their collection :)


T-Rex TED

My two favorites...at the moment!

I'd like you to pick my best card!
 

This is from 1980....... my favorite's the Aaron Rookie! The 3 T206 Cobbs are Sweet Cap, Piedmont and Polar Bear. There's an 1888 Boston schedule, too!

Bill Hedin
PS: like the old hair style?

Eric,
That FB Johnson is awesome!

T206 Carolina Brights Mathewson
 

This is my best - top HOFer with tough back.

This has been my favorite since the day I got it. It's a small albumen:

Nice cards Johnny. I'm like you, tough to choose just one. Here are three that I consider my best.

Love
 

Love the Hindu's. Just posted this on another thread but it is arguably my favorite/best cards so might as well post here too:

http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/q...56Mantle-1.jpg

M101-6 Heilmann (which I no longer own, but still like) and a Sliding Billy Hamilton

Attachment 46498

Attachment 46501

Being a Negro League kind of guy, I'll go with these, although the decision was hard.

Tough choice for me as well. So I would have to go with my two favorite pre-war and two favorite from the 1950s. I picked up the Aaron and Clemente in the past 2 months. Growing up they were my favorite players so it was a thrill to finally add them to my collection. I have always loved the appearance of the Mathewson and Clarke cards.

Sorry, Showed this before, but it never gets old!
 

Wow, Gorgeous stuff so far in this thread everyone!

Sorry, I know that I have shown this many times before, but for me it never gets old looking at it!

Favorite Card
 

Not my best, but easily my favorite... and the one that would be most difficult to part with! T202 Cobb seperated side panel... Wanted a Cobb in the worst way, but was collecting on an extremely tight budget at the time..

As a big Cobb fan, that is a great shot! Thanks for sharing,

Larry

+1. Fabulous card, Gary! Thanks also for sharing,

Larry

One of my favorites and I got lucky - no one bid on it - Greg Manning Auction at the National in 1994.

Jersey City
 

Ticking this card of my Jersey City prewar wantlist was priceless for me.

Considering the rarity of Red Cross cards, finding one specific common from the set seemed impossible to me. Then one showed up that I could afford and I jumped on it.

Thanks,

AndyH

My favorite = Johnson with Weiser in Idaho 1907.

Very cool card. What are the dimensions of that?

Regards,

Richard.

Total is around 7" by 7", it's in my safety deposit box, so can't go grab it to verify.

My favorite for many reasons...
 

Great cards everybody, awesome card Daryle!

Always fun to have a nice '33 Ruth

One of my favorites of my great grandfather.

Wow, amazing- great stuff everyone !!!!

I'm on the low end of the spectrum here, and have shown this quite a few times, but I think this is one of the best ones I have at the moment.

These are my 3 favorites, and the Tinker and Shag are 2 of my best.

Excited with the new '39 Dimaggio pick up.

I put this in the October pickups too, but it's my best prewar card. :D
