Willie Mays because.... well, he's Willie Mays.
And Stonewall Jackson because I am collecting a T68 master set, and as a lover of history and cardboard it is one of my favorite issues. Jackson was a significant figure of American history, a fascinating man who seems somehow complex and simple at the same time. I will refrain from saying anymore before this turns into a different kind of shitshow lol.
T205 Doolan because of my bias to T cards, and gold shiny borders are pretty.

Love it, and thank you. That is exactly what I hoped to read, and I agree with your reasons too. I found the Jackson in an antique store here in Richmond, Va. (home of the Confederacy), sitting on a shelf of antique tobacco packs and wrappers. The crisp corners and bright coloring just called to me. I have a few T68's in terrible condition and wasn't planning on building that set, but I too love history and Stonewall called to me and begged me to take him home even though the price was probably a bit more than what most would feel it is worth.
