Pre1925 Top 35 List
Posted By: <b>Tim Kindler</b><p>A couple of weeks ago I was laid up with Strep Throat and the Flu. In my boredom, I was reading Joe Orlando's Top 100 Sportscards of All-Time book. Overall, I find it pretty good reading. Anyway, I came up with this idea to compile my own list of the top Pre 1925 cards. I tried to keep it small, but it quickly became too hard to squeeze to 25, so I made it 35! <br><br>I based my Top 35 on 5 Criteria: 1. Apperance 2.Popularity 3.Rarity 4. Value-Both Historically and Monetary 5. Envy, Desire, and One's dream of owning knowing most of us will never own one.<br><br>This list is just for kicks and giggles and just wanted to see what others think about it. Do you agree? Am I crazy for including some? Am I crazy for leaving some off, and which ones? I thought it would be fun here at the end of the year while everyone else has some sort of top whatever list! ENJOY!<br><br>1.T206 Wagner <br>2.E90-1 Jackson <br>3.T206 Cobb Green Backed <br>4.M101-5 Ruth <br>5.Craker Jack Jackson <br>6.N28 Cap Anson <br>7.T205 Cobb <br>8.T206 Johnson Portrait <br>9.T3 Cobb 1<br>10.E90-2 Wagner <br>11.Craker Jack Cobb <br>12.D304 Brunner's Bread Cobb<br>13.T227 Cobb <br>14.T206 Plank <br>15.T210 Jackson <br>16.N172 OJ $10,000 Kelly <br>17.T204 Ramly Johnson<br>18.M101-5 Thorpe<br>19.
