Definitely great cards. There are some board members who I know very well that could also play a heck of a game of this (and they won't post them.) Personally, I have no Mount Rushmore. Maybe I have a big ant hill though!!

I'll go to the opposite end of the value spectrum and post four of my favorite prewar nonsports cards.

+1. There are lots of members with unbelievable collections who do not like to post cards. The way I figure, you all are the only ones who get and dig this hobby/obsession- my wife and kids don’t want to look at my cards, my friends think I am nuts, but what good is having them in a safe and not sharing. That’s why I post my digital collection in my signature block.

Regardless of high dollar, beater, rare, common, they are cards and we love them and I think we should share with others who feel the same.

A very sage and astute observation, sir. However, I extend my sincere sorrow to you over your family not wanting to look at your cards. Mine do; however, I only show a few of my special ones to them only occasionally. I suppose they enjoy sharing my joy over them because I have been pleased to take a good interest in their pleasures and pursuits. We're a very close family.

However, your situation may be totally different than mine, and I'm sure you and your family are very close, too. Our collections that we cherish and their relationship to our family is usually complicated, tricky, and demands thoughtful care and mutual compassion among family and friends.

Funny, when I have shared a few cards from my collection, an acquisition I was excited about, or told of my book on post-war regionals, this board has almost always given me the silent treatment. Then again, the post-war board is often not well-participated, depending on the thread---a true exception is the Mickey Mantle ALL THE TIME thread, which has now generated over 350,000 views.

Here are two of them. The Jackson was originally graded before the advent of half grades. It has since been graded a 4.5.

Very awesome! Thanks for posting them!!

I would start with one of the "Wright brothers" …...Alexander or Harry.
However, I don't have a card of Alexander Cartwright, but I have an artist's illustration of Harry Wright (and the gang)……..

And, "Mt. Rushmore" would not be complete without Henry Chadwick (there's enough rock on the mountain for at least a 5th face)......

1981 TCMA Wade Boggs
1939 PB Ted Williams
1952 Topps Eddie Mathews
T213 Red Ty Cobb interchangeable with T206 Red Ty Cobb with Old Mill back

At some time in the future I hope to upgrade my 2016 NSCC Promo Red Cobb to one of the red Cobbs on my list.

Thanks Jake, it is a beautiful card in hand and properly graded.

[RCMcKenzie]

Some are being modest and some probably don't know how to post pics on here. Here are a few...

[commishbob]

I certainly can't compete with the wonderful pre-war beauties posted here but I figured I'd throw my favorites up here anyway. If I only had time to grab five cards from my collection before it burned these would be the ones...for various reasons.

'57 T Brooks R...The rookie card of my favorite player
'78 T Murray…because I love everything about this one. My favorite 'modern' card
T206 Matty...this was my first valuable pre-war card. I bought it in the 70s at one of my first card shows. I still enjoy just looking at it.
'59 T Gibson...the only card to have survived from my childhood collection. I recently found a nicer one (almost any example would have been a 'nicer' one) for my '59 binder but this copy still holds sentimental value for me
'32 Sanella Ruth... Well, it's Babe Ruth. Prior to buying this card years ago I never thought I would own a career era Ruth. This card made that goal attainable.

My mountain... today, anyway.
