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

Really, if the WaJo portrait was Harry Krause would it still get the most votes? Etc.

Hey Greg,

Nap Rucker, Fred Merkle, Luther Taylor, and Bugs Raymond are on my list. While these names are moderately known to baseball fans, they are not HOFer's and hardly household names

Speaking of the Johnson, Bill have you been able to get one yet?

I wasn't sure if you were speaking to me or Bill Roberts, Jason, but as of yet I have not acquired my Johnson portrait.

I'll be looking to see what REA is offering in it's fall auction, as I want to establish a good business relationship with them. If they don't have one for me to bid on, I'll start looking for it here on the BST. I'm wanting to add a SGC 40/PSA 3 with good eye appeal, Piedmont or Sweet Cap back more than likely.

That will be my first T206 Hall of Famer, and I'm super excited!

Good evening, John. I think they should dedicate a wing to pre-war baseball cards, at least as a temporary exhibit. Between the T206s, the Turkey Reds, the Hassan Triple Folders, etc, they could put on one hell of a show.

Walter Johnson Portrait (the BEST card of all time, any era)
Honus Wagner (a great looking card, even if it was worthless)
Roy Ellam (great pose)
Billy Sullivan (love the dark blue uniform against the orange background)
Bill Bergen (always loved the sweater with the dinner plate buttons)

I haven't pick one up yet either but I'm definitely on the prowl.
