Great card!! Something about those Joe Jackson's the Briesch/Plank and then tbe LC Wagner... That's gonna be tough to beat.

One things for sure... You all beat me... For now

Fun thread. Great to see so many awesome cards. So I'll cheat and list some of my favorite American cards too. The McCormick slab makes me want to puke btw.

These are a few that are important to me.....

After owning a half dozen types of Matty's, I decided the only one that fit my eye was the 1910 W-UNC. Took 3 years to locate an example I could purchase.



I generally don't like cards that look beaten, can't tell you exactly why this 14' Cracker Jack Big Train works for me - it just does. I love the wear....



This Ruth is easily my favourite image of his.



Always wanted something really early that spoke of baseball's beginnings.



And the card that started my vintage interest.

For such a ferocious man it looks like Cobb had limp handshake.

My wife bought this Cobb for me and I lost her 2 years ago. It will always be special to me. She shared my passion for collecting. What a special lady she was.

What a great Cobb!! My wife and I both collect together. Some of our best times have been involving the hobby.

Great stuff all!

Even in baseball I can't really make a choice because I don't have a marquee card. But prewar it would have to be one of these:

1920s Universal Surprise Box Ruth-Johnson-Sisler-Alexander:



Ty Cobb strip made with Exhibit PC art:



Exhibit and related strips of Jim Thorpe:

Ho. Ly. Crap.
That's a rather solid trio.
Nice cards!

I don't really have one "mega-Card" as the centerpiece of my collection but my Zeenut card collection is definitely the Centerpiece of the collection. Hard to scan over 2,700 different cards but here are some highlights...

Awesome cards Rhett.

I love the Arbuckle card!! How many different horizontal Zeenuts are there?

Not to ask too many questions, but how close are you to completing all the Zeenut sets?

Wow Rhett

Nice stuff
