This image always grabbed me...
Similar to the popular E90-1 Joe Jackson with its "leaning on bat" pose, this Cobb card has a bit more attitude -- Cobb just chillin' in the on deck circle waiting his turn, cap tipped back, maybe yelling the occasional obscenity at the opposing pitcher. I also like the small touch the artist added with the darker yellow brush strokes in the background. |

I'm guessing many on this thread have never seen this card because it's so recent. No, it doesn't compare to a Turkey Red or Sporting Life in terms of value, but from an eye appeal standpoint, I think it belongs in the "breathless" category.

Personally, I always thought '55 Topps were gorgeous--just check out the Robinson, Aaron, Banks and the rest--absolutely beautiful cards!
Good thread, Larry |

Here one of mine.
Sam Crawford throwing, a real beauty of the Hall of Famer.

One more from the 1953 Bowman set. The second oldest living Hall of Famer, Monte Irvin (he's 96). This one came from a B&L auction win.

Out of the (not very many) baseball cards I have, I'd put my 1934 Goudey of Lefty Grove at the top. Out of the sets out there, from which I have only the Mel Ott, I am a huge fan of the very cartoonish 1934-1936 Diamond Stars.
Not my card, but look at this wonderful example. 50128.jpg And not baseball at all, but I am a fan of Liebig trade cards. Between 1872 and 2001, they put out over 1800 different sets. Nearly all have wonderful artwork, and the range of topics is amazing. Here is one from 1906 (Astronomers, Series 1) that I have 4 of the 6 cards from. Liebig 846 Astronomer series.jpg

During one of these kinds of threads, someone loaded up a postcard, or cabinet card, of the entire 1905 New York Giants baseball team, seated and standing on a staircase at possibly a train station, or perhaps inside the Polo Grounds at the stairway to the upper deck of the grandstands. They were dressed in their uniforms, if I recall. Just seeing Matty and Iron Man Joe McGinnity was so moving. This is a subtle plea for an owner of this rare card to load 'er up on here once again!
Twas an image you just don't forget. |

53 Campy
The one card that has always kept me in awe is the 53 Campanella. The rich burgundy background along with his vibrant facial expression is a thing of beauty.

The simple elegance of this one really gets me every time I look at it. Probably my favorite card in my collection.

Oh, what riches my eyes have feasted upon. There is still plenty abroad in the land, as these jewels have revealed. Virtually all of my favorites have been revealed, but here are a couple of honorable mentions:
1. Texas Tommy Joe Jackson. Same 'photo as the Pinkerton, but check Joe's uniform, virtually spotless, which, I guess, means it was a posed shot. I think the Tommy is a bit rarer than the T5. 2. Cracker Jack Tris Speaker - Res Ipsa Loquitor 3. T206 Foley White - Check the expression on Foley's face, " ok kid, that's enough, now give me the ball back." If any kind soul could post a scan, I would be grateful. Tks. John |

I have always loved the images from the Texas Tommy set. Three of my favorites:

Might not be the intent of the OP, but I find the drastic front miscuts incredibly cool and visually appealing.

Does the 1933 Goudey Paul Richards remind anyone else of Ray Kinsella's father in the same pose in 'Field of Dreams'? . .

the card I really find the most attractive is the 1914 cj Mathewson but I don't own one.

Holy sh*t. I think you just cracked the code on why I love the look of that card so much. Great observation. It's also one of the very few cards in the whole set that is not a deliberate pose/portrait or an "action shot" of someone batting, throwing, fielding. There's a voyeuristic quality that is unique to that card. It's stunning.

Raymond- great call. Beautiful (candid) pose. One of my favorite movies.

What a difference the year make! The 1951 Bowman of Paul Richards has none of this sublime beauty!!

Sweet cards
Those are some great Goudey's you have there. The Mantle really pops too. Amazing centering on all of them! They all look so much better than the grades given. My type of cards!

Great thread guys...thanks for the posts. This reminds me of one of my favorite sayings, there are two types of baseball cards....ones i have and ones i want.
unfortunately 99.9% of these are in the latter category. |
