Monster aficionados, which 5 cards from the set do you find most visually appealing?

[DeanH3]

Waaayyy too tough to just pick 5. I'm having a heck of a time narrowing it down. These are definitely high on my list.



I would also include the Lajoie Port but I don't have that one yet!

Honorable mention would be Milan, Herzog, Hofman and Matty dark cap. I pulled the 3 images below from ebay. They are not mine.

5) Nap Rucker
4) Fred Merkle

My 2 favorite portraits in the set. Couldn't pick a top 5 without including a couple portraits. I would include Honus, but I don't own 1 of them

3) Bugs Raymond

Dummy Taylor could be number 3, but I don't own him either

2) Hughie Jennings (Both hands showing)

1) Joe Tinker (Bat on shoulder)

I can't believe my top 2 didn't make anyone's list so far.

I sold my Jennings about 10 years ago, so I posted the other 2 cards (Hope to own 1 again soon). If someone has that card of Hughie doing his EEEYAHHHH battle cry, please post it. That is my second favorite.

and Tinker, This card is a work of art. Hands down IMO the most beautiful card in a set that is LOADED with beautiful cards.

Here ya go Slip! This one is one of my favorites. I love the sunset! Sorry for the blurry scan.

BEAUTY even if the scan is somewhat blurry.

Maybe we'll both knock them off at the same time.

Whenever I get a T206 card in, I look just like Hughie Jennings: hands in the air, Cheshire cat-like smile, and a "Ee-Yah hoo" on my lips. The two non-portrait cards of his are two of my favorites in the entire set. How can a collector look at one of them and not smile? That's what collecting is all about, isn't it? Revisiting some of the fun we had as kids. The cards might be more expensive, but the feeling is the same.

B-L has 2 T206 Walter Johnson ports up right now. The BVG 1 looks like a great deal to me. Nice front, some back damage. Bill Brewers, if you buy a single lot Walter Johnson card from REA, I will be the first one to call you a whale.

Forgot to add that McGraw finger in the air is another classic card. No scan included.
