Another barrage of personal favorites. The '33 Goudey set has some stunning cards in it, and the surreal multi-colored backgrounds have always held my attention.

Then again, you just never know what'll catch your eye.
Which is what makes collecting like one giant all-you-can-eat buffet.

And I'm always headed back for seconds...

A couple of my favorites from my collection. I really would like to add an m110 at some point. The Cobb is fantastic as are all the others from the set.

I don't have the card with me, I'm in DFW. Topps made a card of Ansel Adams in the 70's that I find quite aesthetically pleasing. If anyone could post a picture that would be awesome.

and I am guessing I will see you in a little while if I can swim to the show.....over 18 inches of rain in the last 24-36 hours in Corsicana (just south of Dallas). I am watching a long train, on the news, that is completely on its side, every car off the tracks from the flooding.

Sure will I was dumb and decided to take the scenic route from Austin yesterday. I got stuck in a detour in Corsicana for two hours. I got to watch the water rise literal inches. Yikes! Everyone be safe around DFW today.

Thanks Rick. I love that card. Only thing that would have made it cooler: replace the baseball with a camera.

Does the 1933 Goudey Paul Richards remind anyone else of Ray Kinsella's father in the same pose in 'Field of Dreams'?

Holy sh*t. I think you just cracked the code on why I love the look of that card so much. Great observation. It's also one of the very few cards in the whole set that is not a deliberate pose/portrait or an "action shot" of someone batting, throwing, fielding. There's a voyeuristic quality that is unique to that card. It's stunning.
