Sorry for the redundancy, but my submission would also be a Cobb Bat Off. Aside from being one of my first T206s, it happens to be one of my wife's favorite cards. Every time we see a beautiful technicolor sunset now, she says it's a "Ty Cobb sunset." Cheesey, I know.

This is my all-time favorite. I bought one of these raw decades ago as a kid, and that’s when my love for t206 started. Over the years, I have been in and out of collecting, but each time I got back in, this was one of the first poses/cards I would get- it’s like my personal flag that I am back. Honestly, I think it’s a very ugly card; Cy looks like fat and over the hill, which I guess he was when t206 came out- maybe that’s another reason I love it so much.

I'll jump in with a couple I really like, ahh the colors!

Cool thread idea! Love seeing everyone's choices. Today, this Crawford is my favorite. This front/back combo was at the top of my want-list for a couple years before I snagged this one. 3 or 4 years ago, I passed on the only other copy that I'd seen for sale. It had some creasing, tape and paper loss and I just thought a nicer one would come along. I had started to regret it quite a bit and then this card showed up for sale in a major auction. It was part of a larger Old Mill lot, which I was very thankful for. I was hoping the larger lot would keep some bidders from wanting to bother with it. It wasn't cheap but it certainly would have gone for more if it had been marketed properly (as the highest graded copy of the toughest Crawford Throwing pose).

My all-time favorite T206 is this Hal Chase. It is my very first T206 card, which I acquired in 1981 at the famous Willow Grove (PA) Show.
Chase is my favorite player from the deadball era.






Two years ago, I finally completed my SWEET CAPORAL, Factory #30 set (468-cards) when I acquired this Eddie Plank.

.




I'm undecided as to which of these cards is currently my favorite. Therefore, I have displayed both of them.

Nice Plank Ted... great looking card!

My favorite (currently).. is the card dubbed by some... the T206 Rosetta stone.. a truly unique T206 with a Brown Old Mill Back and a ghost image of Cy Young..

An interesting note.... The history of this card can be traced all the way back to the original owner .... an very nice article was written on it by thatT206life.com:

I know you said one card and it's two but they share one continuous
mark and they're also plate scratch neighbors.

This is tied at #1 for my favorite card image and I have always liked WaJo. Toss in a tough back, nice centering, and "good for the grade", and you can count me in!

Some great cards in this thread. Jerry, I love the red Cobb - that is an outstanding 2.0!

Thanks Bryan! Love the T206 WaJo portrait. That's another one of my favorites I need to add to the collection. I'll settle for a centered WaJo common back

Hey Jaime, I never realized that you were the one who got this card from Leon. Congratulations.
