5 Favorite All-Time Cards
 

Here are my top five:

1) 1917 Ruth (Collins McCarthy, Boston Store or Standard Biscuit)

2) 1921 E220 Nat'l Caramel Ruth (Early 1920's Ruth in swinging pose donning striped white cap, Pologrounds grandstand in background & American flag draped by stands - talk about Americana at its best!)

3) 1914 Cracker Jack Cobb (classic baseball card)

4) 1917 Joe Jackson (Collins McCarthy or Boston Store)

5) 1911 JKA Mathewson (by far my favorite Mathewson Card because of the unique real photo pitching pose)

1) T206 Rube Waddell Portrait. My first prewar card, got it when I was 9 or 10 years old back in the early 80s. Still have it.

2) N162 King Kelly. I think this is one of the two most beautiful baseball cards.

3) T205 Cobb. I think this is the other.

4) N173 King Kelly. Don't know why. I just love it.

5) 1964 Topps Billy Williams. I bought one when I was a boy, at the old Montclair, NJ card show. I fell in love with the colors and the contrast against the white border. Still have that card as well.

I was scrolling down to see if someone else had posted the T3 Cobb.

That would be mine as well for #1

How awesome would it have been to have a Honus Wagner T3!


The T3 Cobb would be followed by:

T206 Kling
T3 Frank Chance
Breisch-Williams Honus Wagner
1986-87 Fleer Michael Jordan
