Who is the One Player Whose Card You Still Do Not Have, But Want?

Ray Chapman. This tragic figure in baseball history has just plain eluded me for years.

The only player to have a team and a bingo palace named after him, the original Cleveland Indian, Louis Sockalexis.

Ted Williams for me. Ever since I started collecting in the mid 80's I wanted the 59 Fleer Ted Williams set. But for some reason I never got it even though I had several chances over the years. For the last 2 years I looked at every set listed on eBay and never pulled the trigger.

I am happy to say that after 30 years I did pick up the set a couple months ago from a Net54 member(Paul S). I got a amazing set at an even more amazing price and have looked through and read the backs so many times I think I could tell you the story on the back of every card.

Pete Hill. Since there are only three cards of him known, that's pretty much the impossible dream. Right behind him I would pick Bill Foster, who is even harder

[Joshwesley]

I'm a new collector and just want a t206 cobb....

I've watched many auctions and just can't find the one that I want to pull the trigger on.
I'm sure I'll end up with the red portrait in the 1.5-2 condition catagory but of course I'm just looking for the "perfect one"
Just pull the trigger already josh!

So many "gotta haves" and so little time (and money )...

I could easily rattle off 20+ Old Judges I'd love to have (including a Wilson and a Scheibeck I formerly owned, but had to part with for different reasons), but it has always been a dream of mine to own at least one card from the scarcest player list, so I'll go with Jake Wells (because his post-baseball life was so interesting) followed very closely by William Veach (because his nick name was so cool).

Have never owned a Tom Seaver rookie, and haven't had a Stargell rookie since I was a kid. When I find the right ones, I will pull the trigger, especially if the Stargell is signed.

Growing up they were my two favorite players.

Don't rush Josh, hold out for the one that really meets all your criteria. It'll be worth it. Good luck.

And for me it's Ed Delahanty. Preferably in an N173 cabinet. So I'll just keep on, how you say, waiting.

A FanCraze Wagner card. I like it better than the polo grounds or Barker playing cards.
Just couldnt afford the nice PSA 9 on Ebay, that seem it sold a few weeks +/- ago.

Kenny, I thought there was only ONE EXAMPLE EACH, of Pete Hill's Cabanas and Punch cards. What am I missing?

Oh, and currently my "one player" whom I need is fellow Negro Leaguer, Andy Cooper, preferably either his Billiken or Tomas Gutierrez.

[Kenny Cole]

Ken,

I could be wrong, but I think there are two Punch cards of Hill.

[pclpads]

Not true vintage, as I don't collect that, but '56T Courtney in white back. Need it to finish off my '56T sub set. Just isn't one out there.

Gotcha.
