Present To Self: A 'T' Card - Suggestions?

[ullmandds]

I'd go with a t214 victory...or maybe t215 in nice shape common or hof'er...depending on budget.

Leon that is definitely a classic blue chip!

Are there any of the T206-size specimens you would put in that card's league? I just get a bit spun around on that whole rare back vs better condition choice, which is what makes the T3 an appealing, straightforward choice.

Pretty funny about the T3 hole!

[Howe’s Hunter]

it would be the one that lands right in your hand....

T206 Cobb portrait (Red or Green depending on taste) in mid grade.

[Leon]

Red Cobby is classic.....but a nice T214 would be great too...and it would be hard to beat a T205 Cobby, always a fave of mine..There are so many options it's really up to what you like the best. If you stay with a HOF'er or top tier HOF'er there will always be demand if you ever have to sell.

Cy Young....a T206 Portrait or a T205 . Go for a sharp, nicely centered example. The T205 is actually a difficult card to find centered. Good luck. I wish I had your dilemma.

Some suggestions in no particular order:

(1) T206 Red Cobb w/ tougher back
(2) T204 Ramly Walter Johnson
(3) T227 Cobb
(4) T202 Cobb/Jennings w/ "Cobb Steals Third"
(5) T206 Magie error

[Mikehealer]

T214 would be my pick. If I could ever land a T214 Evers I might just quit.
Although, aesthetically it doesn't get much better than T213-2 Coupons in my opinion.

Nice list there, Gary. I was also going to suggest the T227 Cobb, although 2 drawbacks would be the fact that they rarely show up at auction and, when they do, they are OC and very low grade. They do retain eye appeal at lower grades, though, and it is simply a bad ass card with a unique Cobb pose. Damn... I want one.

Others that come to mind... T3 Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker, or Mr. Cobb, T216 Wagner. The T204 Johnson and any nice T213 HOFer would be cool as well.

And once you get the T card, you have to go for an E card.....

I am in complete agreement with Pete - I'll take rarity over non-rarity-with-nice-condition every day! If I were in your shoes, this nice-looking-for-the-grade T214 Jennings (different pose than Leon's Jennings) that has been an eBay BIN for quite some time (so perhaps the seller would be open to a reasonable offer) would appeal to me: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221332161038...84.m1438.l2649

You've got a great collection, by the way. I would go after a nice T206 Plank.
