The most beautiful in the hobby...

Some great cards in here!

Perhaps not quite old enough to fit in with some of these classics, but this one is my favorite. Just pretend it's well centered lol.

Not pre-war, and not even baseball. But this is my favorite card.

The orange sky with the jagged clouds just takes me away. And that behind a legendary QB ready to let 'er rip. With some of the stadium down below.

No writing, facsimile sig, or anything else. Just the art

I am a big fan of the 50 Bowman football cards. Great set.

Not a card but I'm partial to examples from the "Fan for a Fan" series as one of the most beautiful items in the hobby.

There is a 100% chance I'll gush ad nauseam about this when it comes in, but this is my lone Heritage pickup from last night!



Super excited about its condition for the grade - centered nicely, nice colors, sharp focus. This just might be my favorite looking non-oversized card.

As a side note ...

I had one before, and went back & forth about if I should have the bat off, or the green as my T206 representation in my collection. I sold the bat off, and got a green about a year ago. Now, I have both!

It's interesting that 90% of the cards posted are of HOFers or stars and 90% of all cards issued are not HOfers or stars (note: this is not actual research, I have no idea of the real percentages...but you get the idea). I wonder what cards someone without baseball knowledge would select...would a T206 Johnson portrait stand out from all the other T206 portraits if they had no idea who he was?

That being said, I will now fall into the same trap and say that this is the most beautiful card. Is it the stadium background, the sunset sky, the lovely composition with the glove reaching into the green space created by the diagonal of the base path, the icy (or crabby) stare? Or is it because it's Evers? If I owned a T3 Mathewson or Cobb, would I think that was more beautiful? Probably. But since it is all subjective, this is my choice for today.
