Post your 5 favorite cards that you own

[Luke]

I was looking through the archive at a cool thread where people post their 5 favorite cards of all time and decided to start this one. I have a tendency to focus more on the cards I want (but don't yet own) than the ones already in my collection. So post the 5 (or so) cards in your collection that are your favorite as of today. I couldn't pick 5, so I'm posting 6

[yankees23]

Don't have pics on me but my top 5 favorites I own would be...

M116 Honus Wagner Pastel PSA 2
T205 Mathewson SGC 4.5
1915 Cracker Jack Lajoie PSA 3
1933 Goudey Ruth 181 SGC 4
1933 Goudey Gehrig SGC 3.5

Man, five is tough. So since you posted six, I'll play copy cat.

The first five, and one that should have made it six. Hard to believe old Cy didn't make the cut for the initial HOF class.

In no particular order:

[AMBST95]

Picking Five is Tough and changes regularly, but these are my favs/most prized.

Keeping it at six. I have a couple dozen other favorites that could crack the lineup.

Heavily weighted towards the Merkles, but here they are:

Mark, who is on the front of your Uzit?

[lug-nut]

manning....and i'm glad i'm not the only one who can't count to 5

[Kenny Cole]

Even 6 is difficult. I'll go with these. At least I kept it under 10.

[EvilKing00]

Mark, I remember waking up as the underbidder on that UZIT and being pretty bummed. Happy to see it is one of your favorites. Great card.

[Luke]

Wow! Some amazing cards. Thanks for showing them guys!

[yanksfan09]

Really hard to pick 5 or 6....

[E93]

Amazing cards everybody!

[mrvster]

[leaflover]

Here are 5 Leafs that I never get tired of looking at!

[MVSNYC]

Insane cards everyone- David M, Sean, Matt...WOW!

I keep only a small amount of cards in my collection at any given time. I like rotating things and keeping it fresh...a "25 card collection", I suppose.

Here's a few I'm lovin' these days...

[the 'stache]

Beautiful cards, everyone.

[HOF Auto Rookies]

Mantle may be the only full name signed card, I believe my Wheat is the single highest graded signed HOF T206 in existence, and the Feller I drove to Van Meter to get it signed in person a year before he passed.

[VoodooChild]

I can never get enough of these types of threads. Amazing stuff as always guys. Here's my humble Top 5.....ummm, or 6:

Funny you would choose this old beater as your favorite. Sentimental value? LOL, it is always awesome to see these, even as a photo. It always blows my mind that people really own one.

[glchen]

It's not often you see a T206 Wagner on the board. Great card!

I've received several emails from Net54ers asking me if I really "paid a penny" for my 1952 Topps Mantle (Post #17). So, here is my response to anyone here interested.......
I was 14 years old in the Fall of '52. Since the Spring of '52, I had acquired 100's of 52T cards (spent a lot of nickels buying 5-cent wax packs, traded a lot, and won a lot
of cards while flipping).

And yes, I was very fortunate. My folks stored my original cards (1947-1952) while I was away 4 years in the Air Force. Included in the 5-cent pack with Mantle were these
four Hi #s......






Cannot pass up this chance to display 3 more of my favorite goodies............
