Always love the '14 CJ Jackson, to me this card has to be up there. My example below was of course low end, but this is one I wish I still had. Sold to a board member 5-6 years ago.

Personally, I think the '53 Paige is the most attractive card ever produced, but a few others have always stuck in my mind as well. A few are in my personal collection (below), and a few are still on the list -- in particular the T227 Cobb, T3 Mathewson, E90-1 Cy Young.

Of the cards listed below, I love the snarl on the T206 Cobb -- just says everything you need to know about the man, in my opinion.

4 on my list and I have 2 with 2 to go.

1953 bowman Reese - what I would have to say is the best ever.
1953 Topps Paige

And what I still need but are on the hot list -

The Goodwin Champions Anson shown earlier, the best card in an amazing set.
1933 Delong Gehrig. What will likely become of my tax return and one of the reasons I am currently building that beautiful set.

I'm very partial to black and white sets. For me personally most D381's and T3's would fit the bill. Lot of these aren't in finest condition but I love the images....

Great cards, Erick. FYI, your Headin' Home card came about from a clandestine deal done late at night, in a Kroger parking lot in Coppell Texas, with an 81 yr old ex-card dealer. He had 1-2 of the other Headin Homes in my previous collection and 4? E92 Red backed croft candy cards, as I recall..

Might not be the intent of the OP, but I find the drastic front miscuts incredibly cool and visually appealing.

1954 Topps. So many great cards in that set. Mays and Snider stand out.
1955 Topps Ted Williams. Can't think of a better composition on a card. Like Teddy Ballgame's swing it is perfectly balanced.
1952 Bowman Mantle and 1953 Bowman Mantle. The 52 is beautiful and the 53 is a classic image of the kid Mickey.
1974 Topps Hank Aaron, Tom Seaver and Steve Garvey. My favorite classic 'innocent' design on the Aaron. Seaver and Garvey are perfect action cards.
1997 Topps Derek Jeter autographed insert. I pulled one from a pack and have never wanted to own any other Jeter card.
1984 Donruss Ryan Sandberg. Hell that whole set is spectacular.
T218 Jack Johnson side view. IMO the nicest T card.

...whenever I'm looking through my " 1929-1939 B/W big stuff " collection , it seems I always linger a bit longer over this one...

..great thread ; probably going to cause some bemused head-scratching and angst among the members.....especially that "Lefty Grove" guy...

...but I think everybody has " that one "...

ziggerzagger,

love the lou gehrig 34 goudey you pictured. i do not have my cards anymore but fondly remember the 34 gehrig.

also the r312 national chicle premiums with their great pastels were easy on the eyes. wish they had done gehrig in r312.
1941 play balls were quite a treat also along with 52 topps, 57 topps, and 67 topps.
all the best,
jsq
