1888 S.F. Hess California League N321 Set (the colorful lithographed version). In my mind, the most beautiful known tobacco cards. And pretty dang hard (though not impossible) to find.
Turkey Red 'Cabinet' Walter Johnson (with Capital building in background). Never been a huge fan on the T3s, but this one stands out for my taste
1923 Maple Crispette Casey Stengel. I recently overheard someone say, "It took me two years, but the only card I need to finish my Crispette set is the Stengel. That should be an easy one"
E90-1 Mitchell (that's the rare one, right?). Let's hear one for the little guy.
Yum Yum Billy Sullivan (Port.). The Tommy John of tobacco cards: 2 errors in one play! Actually, Tommy once had three errors on one play-- which takes no ordinary skill.
Special Mention: 1888-9 Sporting Times M117. People love rarities, but these are so hard to find people don't even think about them. Even the collectors on this board mention hens' teeth more often than these cards.
