Your Top cards from 1909-1911?

[Chuck9788]

I'm lucky enough to own 4 tobacco HOF cards.

1) John McGraw (t206 . Portrait)
2) Joe Tinker (t206 . Bat on shoulder)
3) Fred Clarke (t206 . Bat in hands)
4) Tris Speaker (t205 card)



What are your 4 best or (better yet favorite) Hall Of Fame tobacco cards from 1909-1911?

You're off to a great start. Tough for me to choose, but these four are contenders.

T206 Matty Dark Cap AB 350
T206 Young Portrat EPDG
T206 Cobb Red Portrait
T206 Cobb Bat on Shoulder

Probably my favorite one:

I have these four:

T206 Mathewson Dark Cap
T206 Cobb Bat On Shoulder
T205 Baker (one of the best-looking cards of any era, in my humble opinion)
T205 Collins Mouth Closed

The original post said top cards form 19109-11, not top T-cards. So I guess these fit the bill.

I tend to agree with you, and yet it’s still flying under the radar in my opinion.

1. I'd have to agree.
2. You obviously have excellent taste in cards.

And I didn't even see Sam's post when I made mine.

Further proof of the doppelganger effect!

The last comment in the original post was to show T cards. Yes, Mr. Young is my top card currently. That said, I am biased but I could look at this card every day and all day. So happy I had credit with Heritage when I won it (they were about to tee up my collection for sale.)
