Top 5 pieces
Ok, so I need a card fix and would like to see everyone's top 5 pieces. It doesn't need to be cards. It can be photos, pics, memorabilia, whatever you are most satisfied and happy to have. I also shamelessly admit that I want to see my 5 favorite cards together. I'm a Cuban card guy, so here are mine:

I was never much of a Picasso fan. I have several Monet prints and like Matisse as well, although not as much as Monet. I run hot and cold on most of the impressionistic painters, but I have always liked Monet.

Tonight, I would say these, but that changes sometimes.

Peter, love the Einstein card. What is it?
OT: the new National Geographic series "Genius" is outstanding, well worth a watch. Plus Moe Berg features in it, too! |

Peter,
Very, very nice. But you forgot to let us know that Rita Cansino is probably better known to us as Rita Hayworth. (And as my late father used to say, "Hubba-Hubba!")

I am merely a mortal man...my top 5 are some of the classics!!!!! They're classics for a reason. The 2nd tier of top 5's would be more "interesting!"

Hey Pete, nice Ruth.
But what's up with that Cobb green? I thought that you were allergic to T206s. |
#37
|
||||
|
||||
That's my 1 T206 keeper...for now! And I've had it a long time.

Pete, I think you are right. After due reflection here are my next top 8 since I couldn't narrow it down.

Favorites
This is an interesting thread. It was tough to narrow it down to five. This exercise made me realize that my favorites change over time as I've recently told people that my Edd Rousch signed 1915 Cracker Jack and my Tris Speaker signed 33 Goudey were my favorite cards, but those didn't make the list.

Wow! Sweet! I love Cobb's typical green sig on that background...pastel dream!

Why did they put that McCormick in that huge holder? And won't the corners get destroyed if it bumps into something?

Yeah, I need to get it reholdered. It's ridiculous.
