Suggestions for my first Bambino

[the 'stache]

I like all of these. Every single one. The #144 is a no brainer. I will own that card, but I don't know if it will be the first one. I might wait until I get a tax refund to put a dent into that.

I really like that Sport Kings, Peter. It seems to capture the Babe's personality.

Really, any of these would be a great first choice. I like the Sanella Margarine. It has a post card feel, and I know I could pick up a nice one for $300 or so. I love the E121 series, too. There are several cards from that set, and releases in the same format, that I love. The Hornsby is great. There are a few Ruth cards with compilations. They are black and white, cut the same, but a little larger. I'll have to go find them, but they caught my eye, as well. The Exhibits are great, too.

I just need spring to get here so I can start shopping. One of the first cards I want to buy before the summer is the Gehrig '34 Goudey #37. I might pick that up, and get the Ruth next spring. I have to budget myself a little, so I will need to be patient.

Great suggestions, guys. I am loving all of the pictures. I will never ever get tired of looking at the Babe!
