Red background Ty Cobb, with Polar Bear back. Answered an ad in the back of TSN requesting Gar Miller's "for sale" list, and bought that card for $5 (plus a Play Ball Bill Dickey and Red Ruffing for a buck apiece and a W512 Ruth for $5).
That was 1971, when I was 10. Rick Salamon gave me several T206 beaters a few years later. I didn't get back to The Monster until 2018 and I'm now up to 507 graded, 205 more raw.
But that Cobb remains my favorite.
