Second Best Honus Wagner Portrait Card

brunswickreeves · #1 10-22-2023, 05:28 AM

The thing I think is most compelling about Tip Top is that it commemorates Pittsburgh�s and Wagner�s 1909 World Series victory (sorry Ty Cobb fans). In 100+ years when the world slowly forgets all about pre-war baseball (say it ain�t so Joe) this card is a time stamp and reference point of its importance to baseball.

I went with the W600. I prefer B&W photographic images over artwork renderings on cards.

E107 (and W600 types I & II and M101–1 and NCP) is/are not the famous Horner photo used for the t206 pose and the question is which card with the t206 pose would you choose as a proxy

So far, I am surprised by how well the M116 pastel and Colgans are doing. They will not place in top 3 by any measure, but they are getting legit votes; I thought the shape of Colgans would keep that from getting votes and I thought the blue m116 would devour most of the votes for m116. I am also surprised by how few votes the e103 has gotten.

Oh crap. I totally overlooked the Fan Craze. Good catch. I don�t know how to revise the poll. I guess bc it�s part of a game, rather intended as a collectible/to be displayed, we can say it�s not a �card� for purposes of this poll�.

My vote went to the W600, but this one would be my favorite if postcards were considered. (Not mine)
