Post your 3 favorites - postwar edition!

Tough to choose just three, but these 3 would have to rank towards the top for me at least for my Post War cards.

"In 1955, there were 77,263,127 male American human beings. And every one of them in his heart of hearts would have given two arms, a leg and his collection of Davy Crockett iron-ons to be Teddy Ballgame." --The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubblegum Book



"What a marvelous moment for baseball; what a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia; what a marvelous moment for the country and the world. A black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. And it is a great moment for all of us, and particularly for Henry Aaron." --Vin Scully





Since 1973, MLB has presented the Roberto Clemente Award every year to a player with outstanding baseball playing skills who is personally involved in community work.

I feel you, Cubby.

With a tremendous (some might say psychotic) appreciation of variations, this trio is probably my favorite three-fer...

I collect Pete Runnels & Mickey Vernon cards because they were my favorite Washington Senators players when I was a kid. Still, it's hard to pick 3 favorites, but I'll go with these. I'm counting the six color proofs of Runnels' 1952 Topps card as one item.

Is that a "blue" '58 Aaron? 30 years after a dealer told me a lie about what the variation was, I finally got my Yellow Letter earlier this year...

Yes it is blue, I believe it is the only known one with a blue background and bright yellow logo. It is actually a fairly important card in the hobby in my biases opinion.

There is a thread on here with pics of that exact card background turning from green to blue. Before I posted pics several blue cards were being sold at a premium. Now most know it is really a altered card and not a rare printing error, saving many collectors some cash.
