Let's See Some Collection "Top Tens"
So seeing how we are all collectors, I just realized that so many times we are viewing our cards as singular additions (i.e., monthly pickup, auction-specific pickup, or player/set-specific threads).
One aspect of assembling a collection that I've always found satisfying is how the whole can feel so much greater than the parts viewed separately. In other words, it's great seeing a grouping of awesome cards that have become part of one collection-- not unlike a murderer's row-style lineup of great hitters, that lineup becomes its own impressive thing, beyond the hitters examined discretely. Each are impressive on their own, but when you realize a team has all that talent, it takes on a new light. Anyways, with that in mind, thought it could be cool to see not just the usual one or two, but up to say ten scans of cards from different collections, which would give people a sense of the character or personality of the collection. Could be any cards, for any reason selected to represent a collection. Of course this would be scan-heavy, but those are my favorite threads-- to me what it's all about. Hence why I love browsing those collection gallery websites now and then. |
I just wish I knew how to scan cards and attach them to this thread.
This should be an outstanding thread. Showing who you are in 10 cards and what best represents your collection and what is important to you. Give us both barrels, guys! Gnashing my teeth at my own lack of Net tech expertise. :(---Brian Powell

I'm afraid that I only collect two sets, but here are a couple of my favorites from these sets:

Centering, centering, centering....Did I mention centering?? :) Unless it's a pretty rare card, centering trumps all for me. I hope you guys don't mind that I keep posting the same cards over and over.

Rhett:
You don't like the rare cards, do you? Dean: Great stuff! |
Dean,
Seeing all those centered beauties in one shot is phenomenal. Some real classics there. Much different experience seeing a collection, as opposed to seeing them individually over a long period of time. I love that horizontal Zeenut up above; what a cool image. |

Such amazing stuff people have! And so cool to see emerging themes among the cards in a collection.
MBM, you somehow manage to have high-grade cards that still look undergraded! That is my dream Mantle RC right there-- a centered 7 with snow white borders. The approach I've taken has been like my own spin on the PSA "Top 250 Sportscards" book. Basically choosing cards that I love on an aesthetic level, but when viewed as a whole, they should also form a well-rounded picture of both baseball's legendary players and baseball card history-- all eras. So there is a type-aspect to it, in that I'd want one M101-4/5 card, one CJ, one e90-1, one 52 Topps, etc. Ideally, one day, I'll have all sets and great players represented. Where it is possible to choose, I like centering for eye appeal. Like many I adore back wear, as it can make a card with a very expensive front affordable. I always love it when a friend or family member will look at a card, then go on to the next one, and not even look at the back! Chronologically, some key pieces... http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...joe-jackson-rc http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...2-honus-wagner http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...1-d304-ty-cobb http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...r-jack-ty-cobb http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...s-babe-ruth-rc http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...-lou-gehrig-rc http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...oe-dimaggio-rc http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...ckey-mantle-rc http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...-mickey-mantle http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...s-rod-carew-rc http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...ryankoosman-rc |

Nice Lajoie collection !

These are just ten cards that each represent a different subset or area of my collection. They may not be the greatest, but I enjoy them. I hope you do as well.

Ed, I haven't figured out who the third baseman is . Could have even been before he came to Brooklyn. If anyone else has any idea let me know.

I never thought I would ever see a "Lethal Leigh" Mathews card posted on this site. I had to chuckle, back in the 80's I would tape the Friday night Aussie rules games on ESPN and watch them later, Mathews was my favorite!
|
"Lethal" Leigh Mathews earned his moniker in many ways.
Considered the greatest player of all time in Aussie rules football, he scored, he dominated, and he was feared because he could put you to sleep. He then went on to coach two different teams to a combined 4 premierships, the super bowls of Aussie Rules. This youtube tells you all you need to know, and is part of the folklore of my hometown game. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Pcto2svWReU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Breaking a wooden goal post by running into it, as Australian as you can get :D If you'd like to know if Aussie rules is as tough as is suspected, check the following youtube from the same week of games (circa 1982), specifically the Hawthorn / Essendon game which were notorious for their vigor. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/vYRNBwGmiKU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

Here are my top 10 favorites from my collection. (In all honesty my sliding Billy Hamilton cabinet would probably take the place of Alex but it's not available right now. don't tell Alex) Top ten to me means what cards 'do I like the most' - some have big value some smaller and some bring back memories of my dad who bought me cards when I was a kid.
I think after I post I'll scroll down from the top again to see everyone's beautiful cards. Thanks for asking so I have reason to pull them together and scan them. -peter |

This is an awesome thread! Some really beautiful and valuable cards. I know this is more on memorabilia side but wanted to share anyway (hope that's ok). Here are my 7 all related to Creighton ranging in dates from 1860 to 2013. FWIW, I do have another project that I'm working on that is card related and interestingly enough will get me to 10 items :D
|
Thanks, Derek. I wanted to try to stick with some sort of theme so I figured post-war rookie cards (I did not want to start the same thread on the post-war side so thought I would just stick them in here). :)

Scan quality sucks, which is both frustrating and a long story. In any event, I'm going to have to re-scan pretty much all of my cards (again) with my Cano Scan. That being said, here's mine.
|
Thank you, fellas.
|
Love EM&R Kenny. Awesome aguilitas!!!
|
Thanks Al
You should post your stuff. I love to look at your Punch cards. They blow pretty much everything else away. Please post some!!! They make the "hard" to get cards look easy. Best, Kenny |

Great thread & great cards everyone! Jeff, I'm glad you don't (seem to) focus on WaJo cards! Speaking of WaJo, all my WaJo cards are tops (with me, anyway!), so I'll show these 10 WaJos, each made from a different real photo (which I prefer over artist-rendition cards):

Thanks for the kind words everyone - Barry you are right; the Yum Yum Welch did come from one of your auctions!

That Joe D WWG is one of my favorites-- a very slept-on toughie.
And what a fantastic card of Ruth and Gehrig leaning on their bats up above! Really cool to see all these windows into various collections. |
Mark - I have always loved your collection and the way you set up your website!! Probably the best collection website in the hobby.
You definitely have 10-20 cards on my "must-have" list....problem is, for at least 3 of them, I've never seen another example... |
