My Holy Grail
It took me around 7 years to land this card, it doesn't come up too often, especially with decent centering.
I was thrilled to have finally add this card to my collection. I would love to add a T-210 Joe Jackson or an E-107 Honus Wagner, but I'm not sure how I will pay for it at this point.  Great cards everyone! Tony Last edited by e107collector; 09-23-2013 at 12:27 PM.

Wow, this thread is awesome eye candy! The last few posts are some real killer cards. Basically congrats to everyone in this thread because you have something awesome!
I have been extremely lucky to find each of my top 3 most wanted holy grails that I needed towards sets, and 2 of them are almost impossible... Wasn't sure if Id ever find either of the D381's and they popped up in back to back years on me.... This year I secured the Joe Jackson Cracker Jack which I've been dying to own since I was a little kid. Next on my list are the last 6 D381's I need and my lifetime pipe-dream card can be found in Matt's last post! A Ruth RC! Honorable mention to my avatar card (D381 Matty, probably my most sentimental favorite card!) as well as all my D381's, they're all grails for me!

So far its the 1911 C55 card of Georges Vezina. Now that I have that card and my baseball collecting is mostly limited to C46s, I would say a high quality graded McGinnity, Gandil and/or Kelley. I do currently own a nice PSA 5 McGinnity thanks to a successful deal with a member here of this forum. The prices on eBay however for just high quality commons are insane so I won't be acquiring these in the foreseeable future. That is, barring a brain aneurism that would make me actually pay out these crazy asking prices.

Thx, Pete! I've always found that red mustache a hoot. What a signature flavorful accent for a card! Perfect example of some of the charming quirks in Pre-War cards; I just think the whole Pre-War space is so amazing, from the images themselves to the sheer variety of issues/sets. Just an awesome playground overall. And a great community of collectors overall as well; have met a few incredibly solid, stand-up, expert guys here.
