Top 10 Cards all people want in their collection

[rainier2004]

If you want to take it to a personal level, as I have no idea what other collector "must" have I am looking at these:

1. 1914 CJ Matty
2. 1869 Peck and Snyder CDV Cinci - any variation/back
3. W600 Wagner
4. n172 Wright
5. e107 HOFer
6. 1910 Sepia 796 PC Cobb/Wagner
7. 1907 FP Burke Tigers PC
8. 1915 CJ Jackson
9. 1915 CJ Cobb
10. e107 Overprint

A couple I have, most I don't. I am trying to get something in the works for another at the moment.

I think lists like these are fun, even though they aren't very useful since everyone's opinion is different. My top ten list would include all pre-war, and I would have none of the same cards on my list. I think later I'll come back and edit this to include my list, just for fun.

Frank-- I am excited to say I have both these cards, but am particularly partial to his 59

I have always enjoyed the 1958 mustache subset....

Always fun to see different lists on threads like this. In keeping with the spirit of the OP I will set 100k+ cards like the Wags, Balt News Ruth, and T210 Joe Jax aside. My list takes more of a "player being represented" type of approach...

1. Ruth RC.
2. 52 Topps Mantle.
3. Matty 1914 CJ.
4. A Shoeless Joe: e90-1 or CJ.
5. A Cobb: CJ, T206, T205, D304, T3, among several others.
6. Mantle rookie.
7. A Gehrig: Exhibit' 25, US Caramel, 33 Goudey, 34 Goudey #37
8. A Wagner portrait: e90-2, Williams, M116, W600, etc.
9. A Ted Williams - one of best hitters the gamer ever saw (54 Franks)
10. T206 Plank.

Runners up in the 11-20 Slots: A Joe D (Zeenut, 41 PB, V355, V300), Aaron RC, a Cy Young, Nolan Ryan RC, Jackie Robinson RC, 33 Nap Goudey, Leaf Satchel Paige, Willie Mays RC, A Musial, A Walter Johnson.

Matt,

Great lists, but you are going to have to find room for one of the Goudey Ruth's since they will always be sought after by virtually every collector level. Adios to the Nolan Ryan RC or Stan Musial (with all due respect to both of course)!!!!!

PIG-natano
Oh his rookie is anything but plain
It's a card so sweet
It can't be beat
Give me yours I'll trade you Ferris Fain...

Looks like my work is done here. Changing this thread into a Porcine Pictorial and Literary Display wasn't easy. I need a rest.

Time to hoist up the Frank B's sails...

That looks more like an apogee to me. Or perhaps a zenith.
