Who is the One Player Whose Card You Still Do Not Have, But Want?
 

Mine is Denny Lyons

RC
 

Ray Chapman. This tragic figure in baseball history has just plain eluded me for years.

Brian

The only player to have a team and a bingo palace named after him, the original Cleveland Indian, Louis Sockalexis.

Ted Williams for me. Ever since I started collecting in the mid 80's I wanted the 59 Fleer Ted Williams set. But for some reason I never got it even though I had several chances over the years. For the last 2 years I looked at every set listed on eBay and never pulled the trigger.

I am happy to say that after 30 years I did pick up the set a couple months ago from a Net54 member(Paul S). I got a amazing set at an even more amazing price and have looked through and read the backs so many times I think I could tell you the story on the back of every card.:D

Pete Hill. Since there are only three cards of him known, that's pretty much the impossible dream. Right behind him I would pick Bill Foster, who is even harder :(

I'm a new collector and just want a t206 cobb....

I've watched many auctions and just can't find the one that I want to pull the trigger on.
I'm sure I'll end up with the red portrait in the 1.5-2 condition catagory but of course I'm just looking for the "perfect one"
Just pull the trigger already josh!

So many "gotta haves" and so little time (and money :D)...

I could easily rattle off 20+ Old Judges I'd love to have (including a Wilson and a Scheibeck I formerly owned, but had to part with for different reasons), but it has always been a dream of mine to own at least one card from the scarcest player list, so I'll go with Jake Wells (because his post-baseball life was so interesting) followed very closely by William Veach (because his nick name was so cool).

Have never owned a Tom Seaver rookie, and haven't had a Stargell rookie since I was a kid. When I find the right ones, I will pull the trigger, especially if the Stargell is signed.

Growing up they were my two favorite players.

Tom C

Branch Rickey

I think that would be King Kelly for me.

Any Satchel Paige will do just fine for me.

Although there are a few that I would love to have and will probably never own, I'd have to say Ten Million.

i do not have any wagners anymore...would like to add another at some point to keep forever and ever. And a Rob D card as well!:p

Don't rush Josh, hold out for the one that really meets all your criteria. It'll be worth it. Good luck.

And for me it's Ed Delahanty. Preferably in an N173 cabinet. So I'll just keep on, how you say, waiting.

A FanCraze Wagner card. I like it better than the polo grounds or Barker playing cards.
Just couldnt afford the nice PSA 9 on Ebay, that seem it sold a few weeks +/- ago.

I've wanted a Cy Young T206 portrait for a while, but waiting for the right one at the right price. Same goes for a E95 Wagner. Been chasing a Ray Chapman M101 and Ten Million Obak for a while too.

Ultimately I wanted a T206 Plank to give to my son, hopefully one day I have the opportunity to acquire one.

Jimmy Claxton zeenut

Paige, preferably a nice 49B which I prefer over the 48

#1) Smokey Joe Wood

#2) Heinie Groh

#3) Chick Gandil

#4) Addie Joss

#5) Three Finger Brown

Joe. The Shoeless variety.

Fred McMullin

Joe Jackson

You just have to outlive me Chris. ;)

Joe Jackson and Cap Anson for me. Specifically the N162 Anson and E90-1 Jackson, but I would be thrilled with almost any card from either of those two.

Ty Cobb for me.

Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth and Bob Mabe.

T206 Lajoie portrait. Haven't found the right one yet. The hunt continues.

Fatty Arbuckle Zeenut

1911 Leo Bohne (Bohen). For sure.

Claxton
 

Jimmy Claxton (1916 Zeenut) Have to save up :)

Agreed! :)

Kenny, I thought there was only ONE EXAMPLE EACH, of Pete Hill's Cabanas and Punch cards. What am I missing?

Oh, and currently my "one player" whom I need is fellow Negro Leaguer, Andy Cooper, preferably either his Billiken or Tomas Gutierrez.

Ken,

I could be wrong, but I think there are two Punch cards of Hill.

Not true vintage, as I don't collect that, but '56T Courtney in white back. Need it to finish off my '56T sub set. Just isn't one out there. :(

Gotcha.

Amazing list folks-

Interesting that three of the most common names here are Zeenut players.

For me, Lefty O'Doul -- particularly looking for the red-bordered variety

Eddie Plank

Tony
 

Babe Ruth rookie - missed the boat on that card!!!

Tony

Andy Coakley -T204

I'd really like to get a Taylor Shafer Old Judge. I'd even trade an SGC40 Player's League card for one, which is a pretty lopsided deal

There is one on CheckOutMyCards right now, although it's vg at best.

Ty Cobb - would love a T3, but would gladly "settle" for either of the T206s or a T205 :)

1911 Zeenut "B'ohen"

James Creighton. Corey................

Dave Davenport from the Holsum Bread series, hell any series.

N162 King Kelly. Still looking for just the right card at just the right price ;)

I really want a pre 1920 Ty Cobb. He is the last of the first 5 HOFers that I don't have.

For me it would be a Cracker Jack Ty Cobb. I've wanted one for awhile, and I've been hoping to find a 1, or a 1.5 in 14 or 15. love the cool batting stance portrait, someday soon I hope
