19th century " Holy Grail "

[chiprop]

There you go, Wes! Baltimore Ruth or t210 Jax is the holy grail for me. Stand up against the '52 Mantle. It's not even his rookie card, and there may be 2,000 examples.

If we are throwing out the original rules, then one more vote for the 1914 Baltimore News of Ruth.

I would like to mention the 187 N-172 Hoss Radbourn portrait. 19th century is not my bag, but I'd love one.

[Epps]

I vote T210 Jackson

I don't think we need to throw out all the rules. Confining it to 19th century would still be nice.

I was thinking the same thing Jim. This thread was about 19th century cards.

One of my favorite 19th Century "cards"......how many of these color-tinted Harper's prints of the Harry Wright "Big Bat" in excellent condition
are out there ?
I acquired this one several years ago and have been searching for another one....but, it aint out there.
