Who's your favorite pre-war & post-war players to collect?

For me... it's Gehrig & Clemente.

How about you?

Since I don't really collect post war and have acquired my favorite piece in my collection from the estate of Nixey Callahan, I have collected a few of his cards....

Like a couple others it appears, the only player I collect is Clemente.

Leon,
What is the Nixey Callahan piece in your collection that is your favorite & could you share a picture? BTW- Do you have anything that he signed "Nixey" instead of JJ Callahan? Thanks!

I am alaways looking to buy or trade for scarce cards of these players.

[Mark]

I don't have a pre-war favorite, but I keep buying extra cards of Babe Adams, Wilbur Cooper, Larry Doyle, and Cheif Meyers.

post-war: the great Roberto.

as I bought both of them in the last month or so. However, I just got the Gehrig in hand. So here I am staring at them all night long. I think it's true love this time at last!

I am a sick man.

As I stated when I started this thread, my favorite pre-war and post-war players. NOTE: very tough "Bob" Clemente signature.
