Default Best Hornsby Card
I'm guessing this topic has come up at some point here, but I wanted to ask: What do Net54 members think is Rogers Hornsby's single best card? Since he didn't make it into the Cracker Jack sets and was largely finished by the time the Goudeys came around, but is a first-tier HOFer up there with Ruth, Cobb, Speaker, Wagner, Gehrig, Foxx, etc. was wondering what people thought.

I like his Goudey #119. I'm not a big fan of the #188 simply due to the placement of his name.

Leon! I posted that card above! haha. Yeah, not sure what they were thinking there. There's not a great place for the name. Pretty sure they had the art made without considering where they would put the name, as no real great place for it.

Most folks in his day, though he was a d*ck, so it's appropriate?

Not many!



I vote for the 119 Goudey or the Diamond Star, two very nice looking art cards of the greatest hitting 2B.

Here is my only Hornsby. But others I really like include R315, E220, and 1933 Uncle Jacks.
