Right now it's this W573 with a Café Du Monde ad back. It's the cornerstone of my Louisiana collection. As of right now there are only 2 other Café Du Monde backs known to exist. It might not seem like much to some but I love it.

My favorite is the T206 Walter Johnson Portrait. Beautiful card. (Image borrowed) I do not own one yet but am actively looking and trying to decide what I can afford.

In my collection it's the Colavito Home Run Derby that I've posted before.
Not in my collection would be the horizontal '53 Bowman Reese. That card just looks better and better every time I see it somewhere.

Always wanted this card - finally got one with a solid appearance and low technical grade; only took 10 years to find the right one!

I collect pre-war, vintage and modern, so I have one for each period.

Favorite pre-war is my Johnson portrait. I look at it at least three times every day.



Vintage, I'm a Clemente nut, and right now, his '71 Topps card is my favorite.



Modern? Definitely my 2009 Bowman Chrome Mike Trout rookie.

Like many others, I have a hard time picking a favorite. But the Cobb bat on is way up there. I dig the contrast of the grey uniform against the bright background. And the scowl on Cobb's face epitomizes his ferocity.



PS - Bill, keep looking at that Johnson portrait. I love your passion for our hobby!!

I was lucky to find this from an estate sale before it hit any auction houses. The 1914 Jackson card is just special..

Default Tied...

It is hard to pick between these two. I really like the PCL cards. I don't know if the Sutor counts as a card, but it has led me down the Pacific Coast Highway....I can't get enough of the old PCL cards! Next week I will probably be back on the T5 Pinkerton kick, though (thanks Leon, you started that with your recent T5 pick ups).

Default Way to go....

Jollyelm - I am deeply upset with you. Although I do not know you, your post has cost me time and money. As a conventioneer and card store owner through much of the 80's, I have owned most if not all post war regular issued cards. In my latest foray into the card world I had stayed very selective. Only prewar baseball. Some select football, lots and lots of N and T non sports. Now This...

You posted that damn picture of that 76 Bench. Like you didn't even know that was my favorite card as a kid. When I saw it, I could smell the gum. Feel the smoothness of the wax, the dustiness of the powder on the gum. That one little picture has opened up Pandora's box. I am now buying 76 and 77 baseball. High bidder on some 61 baseball lots on the bay. Bought two 61 Mays AS cards here tonight. So thanks. Thanks alot for forcing me back into the post war baseball card scene.

I am sure those 76, 77 and 78 cards are more liquid now than they were in the 80's (not!!!)

In closing, the reality is that I am thankful for that picture. I brought back a FLOOD of memories.

Thanks,
Mark
