ONE only. Dream gift ud love
 

This can be cards or anything
You can only have ONE dream item
This is tough.

For me, a decent Babe Ruth authentic signature on anything.

So hard to pick:rolleyes:

Limiting to baseball collectibles, and attainable(ish), a Babe Ruth game used bat would be astounding.

I'd love a '52 Topps Mantle..

Gehrig signed 1923 contract.

An official American League 1927 ball with Babe Ruth's signature on the sweet spot. Wow.

Usually I'd wish for a '54 Wilson Franks Ted Williams. Right now, however, I'd wish for a T206 Plank.

Limited to sports collectibles only, a nice looking 1968 Topps 3D Roberto C-

Trent King

1869 Peck & Snyder Cincinnati Red Stockings

My "dream card" is somewhat attainable. As in, I'm probably going to get one some day.

For years, I've wanted a T206 with a Lash's Bitters multi-strike back.

1917 Ruth

Anything, hmm...World peace? A cure for cancer? To be me but 30 years old?

Sticking to cards, one of every card ever made, but I am not a greedy man, so call it a T206 Wagner. Say about a nice 5-6 grade.

Memorabilia: a Babe Ruth gamer ought to fit the bill, the one he used to hit #60.

A Cap Anson N173 Cabinet or 1888 A&G either one - PSA8 - I'm not greedy!!

1914 Texas Tommy Joe Jackson

Dream Card
 

1962 Post Cereal Football Dave Baker, last card for my set.

Easy:

T206 Tolstoi Cross ................................... :eek:

Willie Mays' mitt from 'The Catch.'

I'm changing my answer. After Mr. Lewis gets his Texas Tommy Shoeless he gives it to me for Christmas next year.

Deal Jim, we'll pass it around like "Large Ass" Herzog...

E107 Wagner or Just So Cy Young

1869 cincinnati red stockings game worn uniform

The remaining T205 Hindu backed cards for my Cubs front/ reverse collection

1916 Ruth, with nice centering.

52 topps Mantle. Then I could spend the next decade of my life slowly putting the set together! What fun that would be

You may have something there, but Robinson, Mays, Mathews and Wilhelm would dissuade me.

A T206 Drum back for my Providence set.

Second would be a nice mid-grade 1954 Bowman Ted Williams. I'll get a low grade version of this someday.

Some collectors with very fine taste.

Anything: Auto immune disease medical breakthrough.

Sticking to cards: DeLong Gum Lou Gehrig.

Memorabilia: 1988 Barry Larkin GU Jersey with ASG patch.

1911 T4 Obak Premium Cabinet Ten Million, Victoria

I know, this card most likely doesn't exist. But one can hope!:D

1916 M101-4 Sporting News Ad Back Ruth.
I'd settle for a Joe Jackson though.

A nice but basic waterfront cabin on the Green Bay side of Door County, WI.

For cards, easy...a T206 Wags.

Bill

I'll play...

Sticking to things that are actually attainable:

Non-sports related: I'd like a MINT 1957 Dodge Sierra or Suburban Station Wagon.

Sports related: I'd like a high-grade 1933 OPC hockey set.

Go to a UGA - Fl college football game
Card — Ruth rookie or nice red goudey
But foremost is cure my bladder

Prayers 🙏

A M.I.B Mad Mad Mad Scientist Laboratory!

I made the biggest score of my young life on a family trip to Detroit to visit relatives in the summer of 1964. I got my father to buy me a Mad Mad Mad Scientist Laboratory at a hobby shop on the north side of Seven Mile Road just west of the Southfield Expressway!

My two best buddies were more than eager to be my demented half-brained lab assistants and enthusiastically fetched tap water for me while I mixed the concoctions.

I believe my father gave it away to the snot nosed kid down the street when I went off to a boarding school in Kennebunkport, Maine for grade nine in September 1965. Very sad. I've wanted another one badly for decades now.

:(

One of the items I remember from the only National I went to as a kid - 1912 L1 Leather Walter Johnson. Happy to know the top of the ~15 or so grail cards I can imagine, I have an outside shot at one day acquiring.

My modest wish is for one card of Sam Rice that I don't already have (i.e., not an upgrade), which is something that I haven't been able to achieve during 2024. If I can have my druthers, it would be his 1922 Witmor Candy Type 2 card (has vertical back). The only example of this card listed in the pop reports is a PSA 1, but I'd be thrilled to obtain it, despite its condition.

Every board needs a mad scientist. My dream card is the E107 RC of Matty. Such an elegant pose, white tie and all. Once had one (sob). Long gone.

Oh boy ... another DREAM thread ... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

What is your birthday DREAM gift ???
What is your Christmas DREAM gift ??
What cards do you normally DREAM about ???
I WISH my wife would buy me ...

I say this to all of you: how about you turn that DREAM into a REALITY ???
Make some moves and get it!!!
How hard is that ??

Much, much, much easier said than done!!

Just stop not being rich! What's so hard about that?

Hobby wish: That our cardboard pastime wasn't rife with scumbaggery and that my title to the Benjamin Falk Matty cabinet was not clouded by the fact that it was stolen from the Hall of Fame.

Real-life wish: A cure for Alzheimer's.

Even the richiest of rich-niks can not afford some cards on folk's wish lists (such as Val's), because either these cards possibly are not currently known to exist, or are buried in collections so deep it would take a cardboard excavation crew multiple overtime shifts to bring them to the surface.

Similar cards on my list. Mainly, an early Ruth with him still on the Red Sox and some early Joe Jackson.

this is my favorite answer so far.

it sounds like my wife's easy bake oven story. she wanted one forever, but her dad lost his job for multiple years (Kaiser Aluminum Lockout...wikipedia it.... new owner purposefully bought the company for union busting). she finally got one her junior or senior year of high school, but didn't have time to play with it due to varsity basketball. season ended, she eagerly looked for her easy bake oven during spring break, but her mom had cleaned house and given it away! my mom-in-law was shocked by the real tears my wife shed.

Living Hand to mouth..Some aren't rolling I money. Prob shouldn't have started this.

Whitehead & Hoag AKA Cameo Pepsin Jesse Burkett

E300 Plow’s Candy Hal Chase. I’ve never even seen a scan of it. The last card I’d collect if I could find it.

I meant it as sarcasm—of course it is a tough time for many. Honestly we are all fortunate to have funds for the vintage hobby, regardless of how much those funds are

Mint-in-Box Kenner Easy-Bake Ovens from 20-25 years ago aren't tough to find though. Surprise your wife with one at Xmas or on her birthday!

;)

Somehow I don't believe you...

That Punch Cobb is out there somewhere.

My unrealistic, never-will-happen card wish would be something like a high grade D304 Christy Mathewson, or '68 Topps Test 3D Clemente.

My realistic, need to get done list would include finishing my 1972, 1959, and 1956 Topps sets, the '62 Green Tints, the '73 Kellogg's set - and making a lot more progress on my postwar Cubs run (where I'm trying to get every Bowman and Topps card up to 1980).

World peace, sane US politics with compromise, etc. etc. - yes of course all welcome.

Anything sports related: I'll take a Jim Creighton uniform with unimpeachable provenance.

Or maybe to be nine years old again and opening packs of 50 cent Topps product. Which is why we all do this anyway.

More realistically: N162 Anson. Maybe the prettiest card of the 19th century.

Non-card wish: 1980's red Ferarri 328 GTS (yes, the Magnum P.I. car)

Card wish: 1915 T215 Victory Hooks Wiltse, Jersey City for my JC team collection.



.

Baseball related I would say a Minor League game used Wade Boggs bat. It isn't that I can't afford one. I am just too cheap to pay that much for most things hobby related.

My dream set is the one that I let get away in the spring 2016 REA.

https://robertedwardauctions.com/arc...ter-collection

Lionel Carter's first set that he collected - the 33 Delong's - with SGC provenance of each card.

I remember coming in after the auction was over and lamented about it. I then had someone hit me up in my DMs and said that they bought it for their client but they would be willing to work out a deal. I would have had to flip a couple of things to get the cash (in order to stay happily married). So, the conversation quickly stopped.

I'd like to have that one back.

I don't necessarily disagree with turning dreams into reality.

But speaking your dream is the first step to making it a reality. Even if it's just typing it on Net54. So I like these threads.

Mays used a Rawlings Harvey Haddix glove, as shown by the HH on the heel of the glove at the HOF.

I have two HH gloves, but was photo upload failed multiple times.☹️

A W600 Louis Leroy would crown my Yankees collection!

😂

As far as cards, a nice looking Ruth rookie with an ad back.

PSA 1947 Bond Bread Leaping no scoreboard Jackie Robinson!

David,

That picture of the Boston Store Joe Jackson, was my old card. I sold it back in 2018. :mad:

Also, Jeff does the E300 Plow Chase actually exist? I would love to see a scan as well.

Tony, I have never seen an image of it and I’ve been looking for 20 years.

The 1887 Lowell Baseball Club photo (cabinet?) on the Hugh Duffy page of the Old Judge book.

One thing, maybe two
 

Howe's rubber stamp. either one or both.

non-baseball collectible: either a 1949 modded Cadillac or Buick fastback

Baseball card wise: a non-slabbed 1959 Topps Baseball complete set in vg/ex condition

I hope that many of you will be able to fulfill your wish; if that comes to fruition, happy collecting on a smallish scale.

Phil aka Tere1071

1967 Topps Baseball 532/533, missing 430 Rose

Hmm…

The confession Joe Jackson signed that disappeared.

I'm curious, why?
