How would your want list look ?
1954 topps Hank Aaron
1952 topps Willie mays 1953 topps Willie mays 1953 topps Mickey mantle 1958 topps Jim brown 1968 topps Nolan Ryan 1965 topps Joe Namath 1986 fleer Michael Jordan My want list is ever Changing. I would like to see how some of the other board members order would look if this was your want list. It might help me focus on a particular card. I might also totally confuse my efforts lol. Let me know what you find has a priority to go after first and WHY. |
What I WANT and what I can afford to HAVE are two different things!
So, I will do a list of what I want that I can actually afford. In no particular order: 1969 Johnny Bench 1974 Hank Aaron 1962 Mickey Mantle 1956 Ted Williams 1955 Hank Aaron Nice topic to kick around! I'm looking forward to seeing what others say. |

Thanks Peter ! Lou I meant help me priorutise my want list. But I really don't mind seeing anyone else's . That is is if the want to share .I really don't spend much on cards i save a little here and there until I can buy one nice card. Then I take a break and buy a few smaller cards.
|
It would help me so much more if I would pay better attention!!!
I like your list, and would move the 53' Mantle to just behind the 54' Aaron. |
If this was my current want list, my personal order would be:
1954 topps Hank Aaron 1968 topps Nolan Ryan 1953 topps Mickey mantle 1952 topps Willie mays 1986 fleer Michael Jordan 1953 topps Willie mays 1958 topps Jim brown 1965 topps Joe Namath I'm actually a fan of all of these cards. I own about half of them, and plan to add the other half some day. I just picked up an upgrade for my 53 Mantle and have a PSA 4.5 available if you're interested. |

The OP has now said twice he wants help in prioritizing HIS OWN want list. He isn't asking what's on ours.

I have a 52 Topps Mays already so I can't say that is my second choice. Mine are 54 Aaron like you. 1955 Sandy Koufax 1954 Ernie Banks 1956 Mantle (love that card) 1955 Clemente Rookie The rest are 1952 Topps that I'd like to add to my collection, which include, Joe Black, Warren Spahn, Duke Snider, Yogi Berra, Eddie Mathews, Billy Martin, Bill Dickey, Andy Pafko, Phil Rizzuto, Richie Ashburn, and a few others of course. Most of what I have listed above are pipe dreams however as I personally can't ever seeing me being able to afford them, especially the rookies I listed. |

Bob,I don't think anyone would disagree with your first choice. Most of the cards I listed are some what obtainable for me in low grade. After some saving and sacrifice. I don't know if I will ever own the entire list. And I tend to get side tracked.
Like I know a guy at the local card show that has a few Jim Brown rookies. So I've been considering just picking one up to knock something off my list.i think this might have recently bump higher in my list. This why I posted this thread. But the majority seems to agree with the 1954 topps Hank Aaron. |

86 Jordan - I'm a huge bball fan and is one of the entire hobby's most iconic cards! 58 Brown - One of the best RB of all time and I'm a fan of the pose! 68 Ryan - Legendary player, not the prettiest set, but can get a decent grade at an affordable price still! 65 Namath - Not a good looking card 👎🏼 Then the rest... I'm partial to rookies just because I like the allure of it being their first card, but I must say that the 53 Mantle is a beautiful card!!! |
Lists
Peter-- maybe they just think the OP is working on a bum list and should be looking for their cards instead. Maybe they just want the competition for their lists :)

The answer depends on your condition bias. If you are happy with lower grade cards, virtually all of the cards on the OP list are do-able. If you want top number plastic, not so much.
As for prioritizing a buy I'd go after the card I like the most first. Again, using the OP list and assuming I don't have any of the cards listed: 1954 topps Hank Aaron 1952 topps Willie mays 1958 topps Jim brown 1968 topps Nolan Ryan 1953 topps Willie mays 1953 topps Mickey mantle 1965 topps Joe Namath 1986 fleer Michael Jordan I don't like 1953 Topps, Namath or Jordan. Aaron's RC beats any other card on the list IMO, and Jim Brown is the GOAT of football. I grew up marveling at Ryan, and the 1952 Mays is a card I owned as a kid and would not mind getting back. Topps of my want list right now would probably be these: 1968 Topps Ryan: see above 1954 Topps Gordie Howe: love the card 1972 Topps Julius Erving: favorite as a kid; only one I need of his early cards 1972 Topps Pete Maravich: really like the card 1954 Topps Ernie Banks: great card, had when I was a kid and want it back |
Great feed back guys, Aaron with out a doubt it looks like. For the longest
Time 1952 topps mays was number one. |
I had a chance to pick up a good looking Jim brown rookie . It was very hard to pass up 🤔. Great focus and color , no crease, rounded corners but not to bad , and the centering was off a bit right to left .
|
Right now my want list looks like this...
Reasonably centered, EX to NM common Braves Topps card from 1960 to 1965 that's in my price range. |

Spahn Rookie
Aaron Rookie Matthews Rookie any old cards of Walter Johnson, Cy Young, Cobb , Ruth ,Gehrig or Mathewson anything featuring King Kelly a gem mint 10 Rose rookie so I can buy a house and an aston martin. :-p |
Mostly I want to slowly get rid of non core items. Not really looking to buy.

Being since I mainly collect 52 Topps cards, these are cards I'd like to own some day.
52 Topps, Warren Spahn, Bob Feller, Richie Ashburn, Joe Black, Roy Campenella, Andy Pafko, Eddie Mathews, Yogi Berra, Hoyt Wilhelm, Billy Martin, Monty Irvin, Phil Rizzuto, Joe Page, Bill Dickey and Duke Snider. There are many others that I don't own yet either, but these are the ones I can currently think of. Outside of the 52 Topps cards, I'd love an Aaron RC, a 56 Topps Mantle, a Koufax RC and of course a Babe Ruth card.:D |
I like to get the key HOF Rookie second year cards at the best possible grade I can afford. 55 Topps Aaron, 53 Topps Mantle, 53 Topps Mays, 52 Bowman Mantle, and the 56 Topps Clemente. Since I can't afford the key rookies in nice grade I go for their sophomore cards :-)

Wow. Don't you think having 8 of the Reiser's gets into the range of hoarding?:D Drew |
Hoarding
Not as long as he does not get all the Reiser gray backs too. Plus my guess is he would settle for one grey back :)
He wants a bunch to show up because there are a bunch of people looking for it |

I'm mostly into pre-War, but I am seeking these post-War toughies:
- 1948-50 Safe-T-Cards - Clark Griffith & Bucky Harris. - 1952 National Tea bread label - Mickey Vernon. - 1956 Big League Stars - unopened package - Mickey Vernon (Boston). - 1962 Salada-Junket Coin with clip back - Pete Runnels. - 1963 & 1963 Jello complete boxes with Pete Runnels. - Any Bowman or Topps salesman's 3-card sample that includes either Pete Runnels or Mickey Vernon. I prefer emails (ekehl333@aol.com) to PMs. Val |
I'd love to get 8! That would mean at least 8 exist. Right now only 4 are known to exist, although I've heard a rumor about a 5th one.
Of course the last 2 cards on my list have 0 known copies ... so a card with 4-5that exist seems easy in comparison! Cheers, Patrick |
Just knocked this off my want list

So what should be next ? 1952 Willie mays ?
|
Update !🤔🤔
1954 topps Hank Aaron ✔️
1952 topps Willie mays ✔️ 1953 topps Willie mays 1953 topps Mickey mantle 1958 topps Jim brown 1968 topps Nolan Ryan 1965 topps Joe Namath 1986 fleer Michael Jordan ✔️* This is my original post My want list is ever Changing. I would like to see how some of the other board members order would look if this was your want list. It might help me focus on a particular card. I might also totally confuse my efforts lol. Let me know what you find has a priority to go after first and WHY. End of the year UPDATE⬇️ So I got the 1954 topps Hank Aaron rookie in a bccg 6 . I don't really care who graded it I'm just happy to own the card. I think a bccg is a bvg 2 ? But either way it's off the list . I also was able to get the 1952 topps Willie Mays psa1. It looks good for PSA 1. So that's off the list . Now the Jordan rookie ...... I ended up looking for a alternative after seeing a thread that had a bunch of showcases with the 86 fleer rookies coving every inch . I thought about how often I seen this card over the years as well. So after some soul collecting searching . I found that I wanted the 1985 Nike Jordan . It is a card I personally have never seen in person (until I got one) . It is cross collectible as it is the image that would later become the jumpman logo on the Jordan brand of products . It is a globaly known image of the most popular sports figure of his time and it's a year earlier then his fleet card. So I check it off the list . Should I keep moving down the list ? Or should I totally reconfigure my top ten list and start fresh for the year ? |
Here are some images of the Mays and Jordan
