What is your mega-card aka your collection centerpiece?

[edjs]

I have a few cards that are my centerpiece for different sets, but these two always stand out as one's I love in my collections.

Tough to pick one, but I think the "Babe" is my centerpiece.

I'm confused, isn't that my green Cobb?

I see that now that I'm home. On my phone it showed my Cobb in your post for some odd reason. Sorry about that

Revisiting this great thread reminded me I never posted pics of my cards removed from those ugly slabs. (pg-2, post 19)

Both are my avatar now but here's a bigger pic(s) of them.

Revisiting this thread has made me want to purchase a Ruth, Cobb and a Joe Jackson card for some reason? (I can only wish!)

I wish I had your Green Cobb, and your Wagner too, for that matter!

Sweet Jesus that Shag is a beaut.

Great cards everyone. Sorry, no scanner, but would be very hard to pick just one. Among the possibilities would be the following:

(1) 1907 Dietsche Fielding Pose Ty Cobb

(2) 1907 Wolverine News Cobb portrait

(3) 1939 V351 Ted Williams

(4) 1939 R303A Ted Williams

(5) 1923 Lections Babe Ruth

(6) 1931-32 Exhibit Ruth

(7) 1953-54 Briggs Willie Mays

(8) 1926-29 Exhibit Postcard back Jimmie Foxx

(9) 1955 Exhibit Postcard Back Mickey Mantle

The history of the game you can hold right in your hands!

Best to all,

Larry
