Top 5 pieces
 

Ok, so I need a card fix and would like to see everyone's top 5 pieces. It doesn't need to be cards. It can be photos, pics, memorabilia, whatever you are most satisfied and happy to have. I also shamelessly admit that I want to see my 5 favorite cards together. I'm a Cuban card guy, so here are mine:

Those belong in a Museum Kenny!

Here's 5 :)

For a change of pace, some prewar non sports.

Peter:

Those are pretty cool!

There are a few non-sports cards of famous people I wouldn't mind having myself.

Kevin

I have never seen the Monet or Caruso cards before. Very nice.

Some flannels, for a change of pace. Sorry, this is six...

Here are Picasso and Matisse from 1952,

Kenny those are some great cards, especially that John Henry Lloyd. :eek:

A few more famous folks.

I was never much of a Picasso fan. I have several Monet prints and like Matisse as well, although not as much as Monet. I run hot and cold on most of the impressionistic painters, but I have always liked Monet.

Tonight, I would say these, but that changes sometimes.

Peter, love the Einstein card. What is it?

OT: the new National Geographic series "Genius" is outstanding, well worth a watch. Plus Moe Berg features in it, too!

Here are a couple of my top '38 Goudey's that I'm hoping to complete some day

Maybe I should have gone with photos?

1930s Jasmatzi Cigarettes.

Peter,

Very, very nice.

But you forgot to let us know that Rita Cansino is probably better known to us as Rita Hayworth. (And as my late father used to say, "Hubba-Hubba!")

Here's my 5...

Yeah here is another.

Some cards and my Brandon Bird painting

The guy at the bottom of that swimming painting looks like Ross from FRIENDS.


Great stuff everyone! It's incredible what people on this board have.

I am jealous. hahaha

A few more not so common NS.

I was thinking the same thing...gotta be David Schwimmer in that pic!

edited to add: just looked it up...yep, it's him.

Nice Schwimmer rookie.

Here are my top pieces

1) D304 Ty Cobb - SGC 20 w/ General Baking Back
2) E121 "Babe" Ruth - PSA 1
3) 1914 Cracker Jack Honus Wagner - SGC 10

Have built this collection over the past 18 months as I have transitioned out of modern and into vintage.

Thanks for the look!

Best,

Taylor

Great idea fir a Thread!
Threads like these become timeless ~ "Archive Treasure!"

And The Craftsmanship on the Borders of Rita's Cards are Simply Brilliant ~
Here's My Taday's "Thread of the Day" Entries ;)

As the thread is dropping down the page, here are a few from the music side of things.

Jerry,

Who is your T4?

He's Schwimming.

-Al

This is probably 1 of my 5...this or my e122.

I am merely a mortal man...my top 5 are some of the classics!!!!! They're classics for a reason. The 2nd tier of top 5's would be more "interesting!"

#4 for sure at the moment!

Hey Pete, nice Ruth.:)

But what's up with that Cobb green? I thought that you were allergic to T206s.

That's my 1 T206 keeper...for now! And I've had it a long time.

Pete, I think you are right. After due reflection here are my next top 8 since I couldn't narrow it down.

Oops, missed one.

Favorites
 

This is an interesting thread. It was tough to narrow it down to five. This exercise made me realize that my favorites change over time as I've recently told people that my Edd Rousch signed 1915 Cracker Jack and my Tris Speaker signed 33 Goudey were my favorite cards, but those didn't make the list.

Wow! Sweet! I love Cobb's typical green sig on that background...pastel dream!

Wow, amazing stuff!
But I am still rolling on the floor after seeing the Ross Geller rookie! Why have I not added that to my collection yet?

T4 San Francisco - Powell

Why did they put that McCormick in that huge holder? And won't the corners get destroyed if it bumps into something?

Yeah, I need to get it reholdered. It's ridiculous.
