Not sure if I have a favorite or not. For me it depends on how I'm going to mat it or where I'm going to put it. For example, if it's for a team project, especially one that is 1950 or later, I try to get as many signed baseball cards as possible. When I can't find a card, a 3x5, AP or cut will do but I try to make sure I have a balance within the matted project. For my 1934 Cardinals project, I found a nice signed check of Paul Dean, so to balance it out I looked for a check of one of the other players and found a nice Jesse Haines check. I also love to get HOF'ers in my 1980's Hall of Fame book, but that of course is limited to living players (unless I sell it to CC and then all bets are off). Last but not least, I love to find or get autographs on sports magazines. There's just something about them that looks really great, and of course, they display really well too.
