I love this card. It is on my bucket list, once I get around to Gehrig. The problem is my bucket list is too long. Is there card collecting in the afterlife? Is there PWCC in heaven?

The Bowman Musial is top 5 for me. That Lefty is a good one too!

Yes, and they are trimming one up for you right now...

I agree, that Gehrig CARD IS STUNNING. If only it had a sticker on it...

Wow! When I started this thread, I was hoping to see some beautiful cards, and you guys delivered!

As far as the Bowman discussion, the 52 set is my FAVORITE and my first attempt at completing a vintage set (I’m 72% done). But yes, I wish It had a Williams (and a Jackie Robinson). I agree that the Warren Spahn is pretty special too...my second favorite image from that set after the Musial.

And those Goodwin Champions cards?!?! If I had the cash, I would definitely make that my first pre-war set to chase. But alas, those are little out of my budget....for now. But those are amazing. Hard to imagine those being printed in the late 1800’s.

And some of you mentioned that some of the Goudey and Bowman portraits look like Normal Rockwell paintings....and I think that is spot on. I think that adds to the nostalgia factor of some of these vintage cards.

Great cards everyone!

This isn't a tough or expensive card but I have always loved this image of Bob Ewing in the T206 set.
