Here are some of my favorite Baseball images on a sports card - the 1933 Goudey Charlie Gehringer. The 1911 T206 Home Run Baker, Elmer Valo's 1957 Topps and Eddie Stanky's 1952 Bowman and the 1950 Bowman Ferris Fain.

How about the Williard Chocolate of Cobb? Leon, I think you could help me with a scan. Please.

[Vintagedeputy]

Here is my choice.

Not Leon, but an amazing simulation. Here is a V100 Willard's of Cobb pulled from the internet. I assume it is this one from 1923, and not the much smaller and less interesting 1924 Willard's of Ty.

Not my card.

I've always loved this image:

I have also always loved that image of Ted Kluszewski but I do not own one (although I did get my daughter one for her birthday a few years ago). The closest I have is this 19th century version which is my favorite pose on any of the cdvs I own.

Growing up as a Mets fan, this was always one of my favorites.

I can be a bit fickle, so I might answer this question differently next month.

I stopped following pro football years ago. But my wife, as a born and raised Ohioan who has lived in Norman, OK for nearly 25 years, follows the Browns now. I found this card at a show last weekend and ostensibly bought it for her, though I really like how it captures the gritty nature of football back in the day.

1966 Philadelphia Gum Company #104

My favorite cards of my favorite player. (The Red Heart is no longer in the screw-down.)

Red Sox fan here but I'll never forget seeing this amazing pic from the 1st time I pulled it back in 1978 to just now! Munson behind him.........what a cool "real" shot!

Peace, Mike

PS It's all there, the dirt, the grass, the chalk, the bat, helmet, glove.... LOVE it!

Brian, thanks for posting the scan and ,yes, that is the card indeed. I love that Ty seems to be enjoying playing in a sand lot game.

[cgjackson222]

Some of my favorites....

[phlflyer1]

I feel like it kind of gets a bad rap, but the '54 Bowman Campy I think has a great and fitting portrait. He was in a lot of pain in '54, and it shows. That card won't win any "best image" contests, but I love it.

Here is the 1954 Bowman of Campanella pulled from the web...Roy does seem to be barely holding back a grimace.

Always loved how careworn his face looks. In my opinion, this is one card that looks better roughed up a bit, to match the wear on Satch

Hard to pick just one, but it is my profile pic for a reason.

Fritz Ostermueller was born in Quincy which is 25 miles from where I live. He's buried there also. He died way to soon before I could have a chance to meet him.
Was given a raw deal in the film 42. He wasn't like that.

[Leon]

This will always be one of my favorite images on a card....
