Satchel Paige

I have ALWAYS wanted the T206 Plank, but ala$....

My current "gotta have" is the T205 Addie Joss, but...completing my basic set will likely come down to this card...

Wish me luck!

I'm not an Old Judge collector, but I would sure love to pick up a Delahanty w/bat. Love the image.

Agree with Luke OJ are too expensive for me. That said I'd love to own a Dick Buckley.

And obviously all 4 Cobb T206s :D

Big Six. Matty...
 

Christy Mathewson.

...some day.

As far as cards from a players actual playing days, I am hoping to get everyone on my wish list.

I am in the process of rebuilding now after having to sell most of my collection due to illness. But realistically, this one will forever be out of reach -

Eddie Plank

I have a Fatima athletics team card that I say is my Plank in my prewar post 1900 type collection -trying to get at least one of each hofer - but it just doesn't feel right.

Also need a Delehanty, Burkett, and chesbro .

Joe jackson

E94 George Close Cicotte with the orange background. I've never seen it but I think it exists.

+1--have a particularly rare one in mind, with a continuing ebay search for it. Might take quite awhile, though.

Best to all,

Larry

Picking one player is an impossibility for me.

Babe Ruth
Lou Gehrig
Shoeless Joe Jackson
Ty Cobb
Honus Wagner
Cap Anson
Christy Mathewson
Joe DiMaggio
Mickey Mantle
Ted Williams

That's just for starters. The list is long, but distinguished.

Pete Reiser ... 1952 Topps grey back version.

Henry Mathewson

1931 E. Quintana Doble Aguila Martin DiHigo
PhilliesPhan, if a red bordered Zeenut O'Doul shows up you'll have a rival for it ;)

Matty
 

For you good folks here - the T206 Matty white cap in a nice PSA 5 or higher is tough, way tougher than you may think. Shhhh!

Cobb T206 .........easy

Honus Wagner, but not the T206. Ever since I was a kid in the 70s I always liked him, he seemed like a nice guy and a great player. He was a stud in the Sports Illustrated All-Time Greats BB game, because he could almost steal at will.

If I ran across a T206 Wagner (hey my house was built in 1885, its possible) I would sell it and by a Caramel or Cracker Jack one, and pay off my mortgage with the rest of the proceedes. I'd also by a 33 Goudey Ruth #144 (my all time fav card) like the one Leon was displaying a while back. For now I'm saving my pennies!

Bob

CJ Harry Hooper. I still wish he had a T206 card!

ty cobb
 

1914 cracker jack ty cobb

Tom Seaver rookie. He was my favorite pitcher growing up. I have had tons of other rookies from that era but for some reason have never owned a Seaver rookie. I'm not really looking for one at the moment, but I'm sure some day I will get me one.

Tom C

Champ Osteen

There's a CJ Hooper right here:

Good topic, Raymond! It's very hard for me to pick just one name. I could go with Ruth and Gehrig, Cobb, Shoeless Joe, Aaron, Mays, Jackie, Stan the Man, Matty and Tris, Joltin' Joe or Mick....but I think I'll have to go with Ted Williams. As soon as I can star collecting again, Ted will be knocked off my want list.

Honus Wagner followed closely by Eddie Plank. I'm in the middle of a Wagner Biography and he is really calling me through the cardboard!

A nicely centered, low PSA graded, 1954 Topps Hank Aaron rookie. That'll be the last card I get for my set because it's the holy grail of my set and I'm hoping that this bubble will burst and I'll actually be able to afford it.

Wouldn't take much to make me happy.
Either a low grade E90 or 1914 not 1915 CJ Joe Jackson
or a mid grade centered green Cobb.
No biggie......

Scott, does Rickey have any other cards beside the 1914 and 1915 (1915 he was no longer a player) Cracker Jack. He does appear on the 1906 SL AL W601 team postcard.

This thread is now 11 months old. How many others have found the player(card) they were looking for?

duplicate

Old Judge - Mathews, Tyng or Deacon White

I'll found my T204 Andy Coakley!

1948 Leaf-Phil Cavaretta EX+ to NM, Well registered!

Don't be a hater.:(


I did finally get my Denny Lyons card but then I found out that a Henry Mathewson 'card' exists, so I am now hunting for that one

I'm sure others may have discovered other cards that they are want now :cool:


The thread may be 11 months old, but it is certainly not 11 STRAIGHT months old...wish I could 'suspend' some of my own age so easily.:eek:


.

The two I mentioned were a Joe Jackson CJ or e90-1 and a N162 Anson. Unfortunately I haven't added those or any cards of either.

No hate. I noticed this was an old thread that got bumped. I forgot that I had posted in it, but saw what I posted. I was just wondering if any others were as lucky as me. Most of us were looking for hard to find items that take patience and luck to find and purchase.

Shoeless Joe Jackson for me!

C46 Imperial tobacco Doc Adkins

Old Hoss Radbourn

Easy card, but I've not seen one
 

I've always been an admirer of the Ed Konetchy/Glove on Ground t206. So much going on between the base behind his foot, fielding, looking up, etc. What I would consider one of the better action poses in the set. But since the card would have to have Howe's stamp on the back to fit my collection, haven't seen this particular card yet.

T206 Plank, Wagner is clearly out of reach but I keep telling myself well maybe a psa1 Plank for around 20k is at some point attainable. Probably not though.

Babe Ruth for me. Some day...

48 Leaf Satchel Paige....

I'm gonna make it happen.

Mine
 

Pre War- Billy Sunday
Postwar-1973 topps Comic Ryan (too easy to get any postwar player so i went with a specific issue.
