I certainly can't compete with the wonderful pre-war beauties posted here but I figured I'd throw my favorites up here anyway. If I only had time to grab five cards from my collection before it burned these would be the ones...for various reasons.
'57 T Brooks R...The rookie card of my favorite player
'78 T Murray…because I love everything about this one. My favorite 'modern' card
T206 Matty...this was my first valuable pre-war card. I bought it in the 70s at one of my first card shows. I still enjoy just looking at it.
'59 T Gibson...the only card to have survived from my childhood collection. I recently found a nicer one (almost any example would have been a 'nicer' one) for my '59 binder but this copy still holds sentimental value for me
'32 Sanella Ruth... Well, it's Babe Ruth. Prior to buying this card years ago I never thought I would own a career era Ruth. This card made that goal attainable.
