Five Faves under Fifty!
 

I've seen many threads where members post their favorite or best cards, and the cards are generally RCs of HOFers with values in the $500+ range.

Am curious what cards you love the most that fall into the (roughly) $50 or less category.

Will take a stab at 5 of my faves here. Honorable mentions would definitely be the 1963 Topps duo cards with Mays/Musial and Aaron/Banks.

Here are my 2 out of 5 Bench and Yonamine

Pedro's first card.

And good luck finding this one.

Really cool. What is the Bench. Back is 1970 of course, but I don't recognize the front.

Bench is a 1970 super baseball ..proof ,regular issue would have rounded corners.

Great idea for a thread. If I weren’t half asleep I’d be rifling through my stuff right now for contends. I shall be back tomorrow with my FFF.

Cards like these account for a lot of the fun I am having and are easy on both the eye and the budget!

This Clemente arrived yesterday from eBay. Paid a measly 24.99, I was the only bid. Possibly due to the print line that runs across the top? It seems to be fairly common on 70s. Doesn’t bother me as it still looks relatively pack fresh. Any day Clemente shows up is a good day.

I rarely spend $50 on a card. These cards each came in below that as I slowly complete a 1958 set. I already had Clemente, Mays, Aaron and a low-grade Maris but did have to go north of $50 for the Mantle #150 base card. As you can see, I'm a collector rather than an investor.

Nice cards!

Like has already been mentioned, most of my purchases are also under $50 dollars.
With that being said, other than the cards I received from my Father, not a lot really stand out other than the cards I coveted.

I received this signed Johnny Bench from a member on here, (who wishes to remain anonymous), for free as he was sympathetic towards me about the shipping fees and exchange rate. I told him it wasn't his fault and there was no need to but he did it anyways! :)

I also purchased this signed Charlie Maxwell card on here, which was and still is my first signed 52 Topps card.

One more favorite I have not seen another one like this complete with tax stamp and not opened
