My favorite type of card is the Rose Company Post Card

He started his Cubs career at age 27, but he managed to set a number of team records and is top-10 in many more.

Cubs wins, the only one with 200 wins (201).

Games played, the only one with more than 500 games played...or 600 played (605).

Innings pitched, #1 and only one of 2 with more than 3000 IP (3137.1).

He was a starter, a closer, middle relief, mop-up...you name it over 16 seasons with the Cubs.

He wasn't great, and he wasn't awful. He was consistently good with a 3.55 ERA and 1.29 WHIP.

16 seasons as a Cub and he brute forced himself into many team records and the team HOF. Salute.

Plus he was the pitcher who threw the ball to Ruth when "Ruth Called His Shot!" and blasted a homer with 2 strikes.

Holy cow, definitely some jaw droppers in this thread.

My flavor du jour.

I don't hate these...

Great topic! So many to choose from. Thoughts:

1) Ryan Hotchkiss- the 53 Bowman Color Pee Wee. YES! "This is the way".

2) the 57 Topps Roberto is a spectacular card.

3) 53 Bowman Color Stan the Man isn't shabby either!

Great cards don't have to be of HOF players, though. The 71 Topps Manny
Sanguillen is a great looking card for sure, as is the 57 Topps Ted Klu.

I have similar tastes as Ryan. This is my favorite card from the 1908 PC760 Rose Company postcard set - Walter Johnson's rookie issue.

Always a favorite and one of the most historically significant teams in baseball history. I will never know why this is not a six figure card.

Gary, beautiful card. That is one of my favorites as well. Here is a painting by Graig Kreindler that I feel fortunate to have hanging on my wall.

Gary, I agree it should be a six figure card and believe it will be sooner than later. How about the first “card” ever?!

Beautiful colors.

I'll take this one over any t206 Cobb, especially since I can't afford any of them!
