Cards that satisfy you

[TexasLeaguer]

I'm always getting cards in the mail, and sometimes I see them for the first time and just think, "meh, whatever." It could be any number of things, it had a slight wrinkle that wasn't visible in the scan, or the color just isn't that great, or it just doesn't fill that little niche like I thought it would, or whatever. Sometimes, though, I get a card in hand and it just feels right. I've noticed that it isn't always on the highest technically graded cards either, it's just something about some cards that excites you and makes you want to tuck them away into the personal collection, no upgrade needed. Oftentimes it's the humblest cards that make you feel this way too, cards with genuine wear that still present well, nothing too sharp, or too off-center, just good, honest cards that make you feel that everything is right with the universe. These are the kind of cards that you would tuck under your pillow if you were a kid again, or as an adult you might tuck into your briefcase for luck. Here's three of mine that currently fit that description for me, and it would be great if you guys would post some of yours.

Maybe not my most valuable or significant signed T206 card, but certainly one of my most satisfying...

Every Toronto card in the C46 set is like that for me. None are incredibly rare, and none are incredibly valuable [at least not in the condition they're in in my collection ], but shown side-by-side, I think they just look awesome.

I don't have a 'group shot' of them handy, so here's O'Hara on his own.

my t206 ed walsh and my t205 home run baker and john lush i love the baker and lush because mine have such sharp and brilliant colors especially for psa 1's, and the walsh just because it looks old and has just the right feel for me.

TexasLeaguer, I know exactly the type of cards you're talking about, and those first 3 you posted hit the mark. Being a low grade collector, I had to take the time to find examples with nice eye appeal. Some cards are so satisfying, once you cross them off the list you know you'll never have look for another example.

Wow, some good ballplayers right there Chuck! All these cards you guys are showing are great and exactly what I'm talking about.

Mike - Great display and diversified back collection ! Thanks for sharing... Are there any you are missing ?

Thanks Clayton and Jeremy.
As for backs missing with the HOFers a few common ones, but the three that have eluded me(mainly due to cost) are Broad Leaf 460, Drum and Red Hindu.
