Frank-- I am excited to say I have both these cards, but am particularly partial to his 59

I have always enjoyed the 1958 mustache subset....

Always fun to see different lists on threads like this. In keeping with the spirit of the OP I will set 100k+ cards like the Wags, Balt News Ruth, and T210 Joe Jax aside. My list takes more of a "player being represented" type of approach...

1. Ruth RC.
2. 52 Topps Mantle.
3. Matty 1914 CJ.
4. A Shoeless Joe: e90-1 or CJ.
5. A Cobb: CJ, T206, T205, D304, T3, among several others.
6. Mantle rookie.
7. A Gehrig: Exhibit' 25, US Caramel, 33 Goudey, 34 Goudey #37
8. A Wagner portrait: e90-2, Williams, M116, W600, etc.
9. A Ted Williams - one of best hitters the gamer ever saw (54 Franks)
10. T206 Plank.

Runners up in the 11-20 Slots: A Joe D (Zeenut, 41 PB, V355, V300), Aaron RC, a Cy Young, Nolan Ryan RC, Jackie Robinson RC, 33 Nap Goudey, Leaf Satchel Paige, Willie Mays RC, A Musial, A Walter Johnson.

All different versions of the 1921 and 1922 E121 ruth cards for me

[Peter_Spaeth]

I like Matt's list but I would replace Jackson and Plank with Johnson and Young.

Also I think the CJ Wagner would serve as well as the ones he lists.

[DaveW]

I think all collectors must have:
- the card of Billy Ripkin with the message on the bat knob
- one good card of Don Mossi
- any card of Dick Trickle

Matt,

Great lists, but you are going to have to find room for one of the Goudey Ruth's since they will always be sought after by virtually every collector level. Adios to the Nolan Ryan RC or Stan Musial (with all due respect to both of course)!!!!!

Thanks for the assistance, guys. I love that front, and when it comes time to add it to my collection, I won't be picky. Whichever card is available. I know it will set me back a good deal, but it will be worth it.

[ullmandds]

Bill...that's a cool pose...personally I'd try to get it with one of the tougher backs...but that's just me!!!

PIG-natano
Oh his rookie is anything but plain
It's a card so sweet
It can't be beat
Give me yours I'll trade you Ferris Fain...

Looks like my work is done here. Changing this thread into a Porcine Pictorial and Literary Display wasn't easy. I need a rest.

Time to hoist up the Frank B's sails...

That looks more like an apogee to me. Or perhaps a zenith.
