What is your mega-card aka your collection centerpiece?

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:

....not very clean nor bright but for some reason this Canadian 1936 World Wide Gum Hank is my thirties centerpiece ; what's weird is that this is possibly the smallest card I own ; my focus has always been "the big stuff" , from 1929 Kashin up to 1939 salutation exhibits and all the big-ass "R" cards in between.........but this little guy is the one that makes me smile...

Great, tough card of a truly great slugger, Mike. SABR's projections for him have him at 502 lifetime HR's, had he not missed 4 years to the war, and perhaps his lifetime BA could have been around .320 (instead of .313?) as well?

Thanks for showing it,

Larry

Restarted collecting three years ago after a 40 year break. First tried Hot Prospects, changed to 60's HOFers, then to 50's HOFers, now only T206s. This Cobb is my favorite.

Steve, that Cobb is my favorite card in the set as well. And that is a great example .

Not baseball, but still a mega-card...
