Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>And why the '57 Brooks Robinson???<br /><br />OK, I understand it is "which 5" out of any, not out of what you have, nor out of what you want...<br /><br />1- T206 Wagner<br />2- T210 Jackson<br />3- Zeenut McMullen, with coupon of course<br />4- T210 Stengel<br />5- Old Judge Cabinet of Harry Wright<br /><br /><br />I have one of the five.<br /><br />This reminds me of the line in the movie Princess Bride, "You must learn to live with disappointment." Might figure a way to get a second one of these. Can't imagine all five. I'd stay awake at night as I imagine Mr. "Well?" is doing.<br /><br />But Julie's Boston Store Jackson could take Harry Wright's place without much trouble... very nice card!<br /><br />Frank.

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>Why the 1957 Brooks Robinson? It's been a card that I've wanted for a really long time and have never purchased. Brooks is one of my all-time favorites and I would always have a place in my collection for him. I've always been a huge fan of the 57' Topps set. While his pic isn't the most amazing, it's still my favorite out of all his cards. Brooks didn't have too many good action-shot cards.<br /><br />He also rounds out Matty, Rusie, Lajoie, and Anson nicely.

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>To me, the five I could never part with is the same as the five I want the most. If told today that I could only ever have 5 cards, I would keep these and stop collecting.<br /><br />1. T206 Matty White Hat (SGC 60)<br />2. T206 Bender Portrait (SGC 50)<br />3. 1985 Topps McGwire autographed<br />4. T206 Cobb Green Portrait (SGC 40)<br />5. T206 Matty Portrait (SGC 80)<br /><br />The first two were my first two T206's and I bought them with my girlfriend (now my wife and mother of my first child) in 1997.<br /><br />The McGwire I got autographed in person when I was 14, in October 1987, just after he finished his rookie season. It was my first big card (over $10) and it was my first big autograph (although Ron Darling and Mel Stottlemyre might have some argument).<br /><br />The Cobb green is probably my favorite T206 card, other than....<br /><br />My Matty Portrait, which is in better condition than the one a friend of mine bought when we were both 15 that he would never let me look at.<br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Julie, no I didn't win. But I hate that card. I want it only because I need it to complete my set of Hall of Famers. If it wasn't for that, I'd rather have Tommy McCarthy. The G&B Spalding is different. I'd love to have that card even if I wasn't putting together a set of Hall of Famers.
