And Paul, awesome Wagner "rookie". It looks like you have the full National Copper Plate bound collection...there are many other "rookies" in there that I would love to have...nice one and oh so rare!

and Kenny, if you ever get tired of looking at your Wheat minor league cabinet, let me know...since it's only #4 on your list, maybe there's hope

Picking a top 5 is a very difficult undertaking, so I cheated and limited my selections to pre-war individual cards/cabinets (e.g., no team photos/postcards, press photos, etc.). And even then, this was a difficult task!

(1) 1873 Warren Studio CDV - Jim O'Rourke
(2) c1943 RPPC - Roy Campanella
(3) 1893-94 Perkins Studio Cabinet - Hughie Jennings
(4) 1898 Polensky Cabinet - Fred Clarke
(5) 1914 University of Michigan Photo Card - George Sisler

Here's a good start, at least today!

Nothing unusual here -- just still enjoying the hunt for nice examples of some of our hobby's iconic cards.
But centered, please. Always...

Thanks, i do have the bound copper plate set (minus 5, including the Anson, i had to fill in, but accomplished!). i think that is the most amazing set, the pictures are awesome and they have the full description and information on the back. i consider them the first cards and they are perhaps the earliest ones with any player info? so many rookies in there.

i have the M-101 sporting news supplement set too. some different player selection (as an aside, I managed to get a few Delehantys at very reasonable prices while completing, for some reason he is listed in the guide, and was priced at auction, as a common ..but it's Ed Delehanty).

Steve Verkman broke up a Copper Plate set recently and still has a bunch for sale (minus some of the keys but still many HOF's left). was able to finish the set from his sale.

i love that Walter Johnson Tuxedo above! amazing.

I can only post in doubles (I can't post one image on n54. Can only do through the layout app), so I will do four of my favorite Cobbs.
