Default Top 100 Pre-war Cards

Posted By: John K

I would probably be in a distinct minority, but I think that if this board were to produce such a list, rarity (thus price) would be the number one criterion for inclusion. I feel that the importance (greatness) of the player pictured and the aesthetic beauty of the card should also carry considerable weight. With that in mind, I would like to submit the 1939 and 1941 Play Ball Ted Williams. Also, the 1938 Goudey Bob Feller is an aesthetic masterpiece. The 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #144 (and #53) might be THE classic card for some of the reasons that Joann touched on in her post. I would also like to submit the Old Judge Hoss Radbourn portrait (rarity being the #1 reason here, I think).
