What's the one vintage card you really wish you had back?

[JasonD08]

Had 2 pinholes, one small crease in the corner and best centered example in the hobby. Very attractive SGC 20.

I wish I could have this one back.

Two that immediately come to mind for me -- 1911 Obak Ten Million and e92 Croft's Cocoa George Gibson.

Both cards went to good homes, though, so that makes it tolerable.

Regards,

Richard.

My Top-3:

T227 Ty Cobb
N162 Mike Kelly
N172 Mike Kelly

Bought 'em all for $250 or less a piece in G-VG condition back in the early '80s.

I've only ever sold one card, and I regret it terribly.

1939 signed Joe DiMaggio play ball. I had 2, so I flipped one to help pay for some others.

In retrospect, having both of them was so much cooler, knowing there's not even a handful of them out there.

Not much for prewar, as I rarely sell any. I have mild pangs ocasionally with the ones I have sold, but they all went to really good collections so it's fine.

Postwar I do miss the 48 Bowman set I put together for very little with most cards being poor. Sold it to pay for a ski trip.

The ones I really miss were a group of 76 Hostess proofs. Yellow and green instead of red and blue, reversed negatives, numbers over 150, screened and probably cropped differently. I traded a 74 McCovey washington for about 20 of them, and promptly traded half to a local dealer for another McCovey washington. I've never seen any others.

If any of you have one I wouldn't mind seeing it.

Much to the dismay of other scrap collectors, it is NOT the T206 Downey. Chris and others have mentioned it several times, so might as well set them straight ...it's sort of ugly.

I would have back this beater Mino Wagner/throwing:
