Back To Basics. What is One Card You would like to have that you do not have
 

Hi Everyone,

WE have had alot of great threads recently. About AI, Auctions Houses, PSA, and so much more
Some Positive Some Negative and some WOW

I would like to Get Back to Basics for at Least One Thread.

I Love Seeing Photo's of Cards

What is the one that you would like to have that you do not own

THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE

There is no requirements, no budget, just what could would you like to have

Posting pictures is Fine

I am a Joe Jackson Nut so This is my card I would love to own

I really want a 1953 Topps Paige. That is my next big pickup.

No explanation needed…..

I know that the Drum and BL460 Red Portraits are much rarer (probably a couple more as well), but this is my all-time dream card that I will never own.

E90-1 Tris Speaker

This one would be fun to own.
_

Hard to pick just one so I have four.
A E-107 Beckley, Gehrig 1925 Exhibit card, 1948 Leaf Feller and Paige.

Broad Leaf 350 Speaker for me

E107 Wagner Matty or Lajoie, in any condition!

1949 Bowman Satchell Paige. A must for any serious Tribe collector who has $3K+ to spend on a baseball card. I'll buy Leroy's card one of these days....

1933 Goudey Babe Ruth 181

My dream card. The fun thing is that in lower grades, it is a fairly attainable card. The bad thing is that over the last year, it become a little less obtainable because of exponential price increases.

I like that image so much, I bought the "poor man's version", 1935 Goudey Ruth. Scratches the itch a little...but I'd still like the 1933.

Attainable, though I would prefer to trade into it than buy it. The unattainable is always a T206 Wagner.

My dream card that I’ll never own is a CJ Cobb.

Same.

H801-7 Old Mill Cabinet Red Munson
 

Here is the top of my wantlist:H801-7 Old Mill Cabinet Red Munson!


Patrick

Need it to complete the set.

I'll list 2
 

1962 Kennywood "Pittsburgh" exhibits Roberto Clemente 5 of spades (i owned it and was talked out of it years ago). I want to own it again. Also a T3 Cobb - haven't owned one yet.

No doubt (among PreWar cards) this one. It's a card I doubt I'll ever own. But I can hope anyway.

Attachment 473304

My post war most wanted is much more attainable, Billy Pierce's '59 Bazooka card. I've come close on a few in the past. Now with a brand new grandbaby (our first with a second to come in October) I have a hard time justifying money for big ticket cards that should go to spoiling grandchildren!

I guess this would be it for me. My only complete set is 1953 Bowman. Other full sets on back from there just aren't in the cards, as they say. But I do have a few desirable pre-war, t-cards, etc. This would be the crown jewel, but not likely to happen.

Me too, had a contact at a card shoe in the 90’s. He said he had this card, gave me his phone #, called many times, never answered. Deal never happened. Lol. Never saw him again. Joe. PS, I could have afforded it then, not now.

Same pipe dream.

Man that would be a tough pill to swallow. Sorry to hear.

Chad

1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #181 for me. I'll buy one someday. Hopefully sooner than later.

Clemente Wants
 

I had two Clemente's that I let go many years ago and to this day I lament my decision. I wished I could have these once again.

1962 Sugardale- Mine was totally free of stains and any yellowing; I didn't realize what I had until much later.

1968 Topps 3D- This was well before grading, it would probably be graded in Very Good to Excellent today, but it was the Clemente to have almost 40 years ago. I knew what I had in this case, but I needed the money for a non-hobby family expenditure at the time that was more important than the card.

Oh well.

Phil aka Tere1071

Either a Yum Yum Mike Tiernan or E107 George Davis

T206 Marquard Pitching - Lenox Brown
 

Need this one for my back run, probably never get it :-(

seems pretty scarce ....

Cliff

N172 Doyle would be my first choice. There's a specific subset of 8 OJs that I'd like to put together, and most of them can be found for a few hundred dollars. Doyle not so much.

T205 Mordecai Brown with Drum Back

W600 Burkett.

T3 Cobb

I was the first underbidder for this card when it was auctioned a few years ago :( :

T210 JJ of course.

WOW

I Love the Great and many cases unique cards everyone is selecting

I Like the pictures, I like the stories behind some of them and/or the reasoning.

I even like when we ask about the 1 Card and some give multiple because often hard to pick just 1

Keep Them Coming:):):):):):):):):):):)

My “wow, I won the lottery” choice would be the Baltimore News Ruth

Kind of realistically hope to get someday is a 1907 Wolverine News Ty Cobb. Always loved the look of that card.

Maybe the best-looking uniforms ever.

Joe.

I could name quite a few cards but I also want to be real and not name something that I know I will never be able get. For me, a 1968 Nolan Ryan RC in PSA 8. I almost picked one up at this years National. It was between that and another card and I went with the other since that's what my intended target was.

The 1968 card I did see of Ryan's was beautifully centered. What turned me off was that it was in an old holder and also seemed to have a tiny crack. The crack didn't seem to affect the grade however. Again, it was a tiny crack. If PSA was reholdering at the show, I would have possibly given it a shot but since they were backed up, they stopped taking all orders so it was an easy decision for me on the pass. Now if I had enough money for that card and the one I also picked up, I would have bought both for sure.

I will own it one day.

52 Topps Mantle
 

52 Topps Mantle!! I am currently trying to trade for a 52 Topps Mantle for a 35 Chicle National Football Stars set

From a fantasy prospective, I would love to own the Just So Cy Young. From a someday this might be possible, today's pick would be an E92 Nadja Mathewson.

I'll be checking my mailbox today to see if anyone sent me the CJ Cobb...

1948 Leaf
Satchel Paige
Always has been/always will be

Good to see a few other people listing SP cards

I’m
Born and raised in Mobile, Al….

Satchel will always be the goat to us…….. although Mobile has produced a lot of HOF’s !

T205 Hoblitzell no stats is my dream card and need to finish my master set

E95 Cobb for me. I love the E95/96 sets and would love to add that cobb one day.

T206 Walter Johnson portrait. Had it at one point and hope to have it back in my collection within the next year.

T206 Wagner psa 8

51 Bowman Mickey Mantle.

I regret passing on one before the Covid Boom every day.

I have the same regret about the 51B Mantle. But I'd have to say the 14 CJ Mathewson.

1914 Cracker Jack (E-145) #88 Christy Mathewson

I've always loved this card and would choose it if I could have any one card for my collection.

1930 Lou Gerhig W554

I need it for my set but I love the card and the image.

M110 Wagner or a mid to high grade T206 green Cobb.

Bill

I'm going to cheat because I need two for my set:

https://vintagecardprices.com/pics/2566/394701.jpg

https://vintagecardprices.com/pics/2566/173616.jpeg

Signed 1953 Topps that I still need, especially Howie Fox, Vern Bickford and Bill Norman. Per PSA/DNA, they're out there, I just haven't seen them yet.

I've also been passively looking for a signed 1949 or 1951 Bowman Jocko Thompson for a while. I watched A Bridge Too Far recently, about Operation Market Garden, which he received the Silver Star in.

Today I'd have to say a 1934 Goudey Jim DeShong, because it's the last card I need for my set (if anyone has a low-to-mid grade copy they are looking to move, please let me know!)

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...Goudeycard.jpg

Longer term, though, I would definitely like to add one of these to my collection:

A beautiful choice! I'm going to own this one day.

Once I pull him off I just have to talk someone into selling me the 8th card

Love the look of that card and the pose

E107 Cy Young

Cj jj

The T227 David Bruce Brown is the one I'd want. He ran in the first two Indianapolis 500 races before being killed later in 1912 during race practice.

This is likely the most valuable racing card because of the scarcity.

Seeing as it went for $23k earlier this year in an REA auction, I'll never own one unless I win the lottery.

More Lou
 

I’d love a nice 1933 DeLong Lou Gehrig.
Prices have gotten a bit out of hand, but this one is on my short list…

This card is confirmed but I’ve yet to find an image of it. My photoshop version.

T206: Johnson

Pre-war: B18 felt Cobb

Post-war: Connie Mack AS Tris Speaker

Modern: 2004 Topps Signs of the Future auto Joey Votto

I have been in love with the B18 felts since I was a boy. I bought two in high school at an antique shop. The Cobb felt would just be a stunning addition to have in my cabinet. I think they present so cool as a diamond.

Mine would be a Rose company Sam Crawford Postcard

I've had several that I wanted for a long time. The only ones I really, really wanted but never got are:

Attachment 473962

Attachment 473963Attachment 473964

Attachment 473965Attachment 473966

Mine would be a PC760 Rose Co. postcard of Tris Speaker. Beckett added it to their checklist in 1982, but I do not know anyone who has ever seen an image of it.

Jim Beckett was pretty meticulous about doing research at that time, so I am still holding out hope and think that there is a chance that the card exists.

If it does exist, it would be part of the "no team" additions that were done after their original 1908 set which consisted of 12 players for each of the 16 teams. All 12 Red Sox players are already known to exist, but the Rose Co. did update their set in late 1908 or 1909 with a few new subjects, so Speaker theoretically could exist.

T206 plank would be my pick.

1923-24 Tomas Gutierrez Oscar Charleston

I talk with Jim periodically, I'll ask him next time I do!

I'm close to finishing a 1948 Leaf set. I still need the Doby and Newhouser which are still somewhat affordable, so it's probably the Paige that I would want since I don't know if I'll ever be able to afford it.

So many great selections so far! For me its the 1933 Goudey Lajoie.

52 Mantle has always been holy grail for me.
I have all the rest of his topps regular issues.

Cobb Bat Off PSA 4. Let one pass me by about a year ago for $5,500. D'OH!
