Posted By: <b>Sean</b><p>If you had all the money in the world which card would you want to get?<br />Mine would be a 1903 E107 Caramel Honus Wagner!<br />

Posted By: <b>Wesley</b><p>The E107 Honus Wagner is a great card and would be near the top of my list as well. There are so many great cards out there that it is tough to choose, but I have narrowed it down to these three:<br /><br />(1) Baltimore News Ruth<br /><br />(2) E107 Wagner<br /><br />(3) T210 Jackson

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I too would take the Baltimore News Ruth. It is the first card of the most significant player ever.

Posted By: <b>Eric</b><p>If I had unlimited funds to purchase baseball cards, these would be the cards I'd go after.<br /><br />1952 Topps Mickey Mantle<br /><br />1914 Baltimore News Babe Ruth<br /><br />1914 Cracker Jack Shoeless Joe Jackson<br /><br />1933 Goudey Nap Lajoie <br /><br />And of course the T-206 Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank and the Sherry Magie error.<br /><br />I would also have to add the T210 Jackson to this list as well. Forgot about that one.

Posted By: <b>Mike</b><p>How often does the Baltimore Ruth hit the market and what is the range of price they generally sell for? <br /><br />The card I hope to own someday is the 1916 Sporting News Ruth.

Posted By: <b>Al C.risafulli</b><p>That's the one, Anthony. Beautiful card.<br /><br />I know it sounds stupid, but I just love the stormclouds in the background of that card. The color is amazing to me. I mean, I know it's not a super-tough card, but it's just one I really want.<br /><br />Maybe I'll find one in Cleveland.<br /><br />-Al

That card was sold with the rest of his collection at the famous Copeland auction in 1991, where it realized $18,700. Barry Halper's example sold at the famous Barry Halper auction in 1999 for $79,500. The Robert Edward Auctions' sale at $243,000 in 2005 more than tripled that record. The sale of a PSA 1 example of the red-and-white variety at $150,800 in 2006 was all the more noteworthy..."
