Agreed... There's a lot of nostalgia tied to it for me and as you said, it's just a gorgeous card. I wanted one for the longest time, well before I even considered building the sets I had as a kid. I had a limited hobby budget and waited until I found one that looked good and was affordable. I later bought two more from someone on this board several years ago.

The first card I chased as a child was that 1974 Topps #1 Hank Aaron. Since it was posted already I’ll go with these two. I always dreamed of owning them as a kid. It took a while to actually add them to my personal collection. Whenever I look at them I’m 12 again.

That's actually a really tough question to answer!

I gotta cheat and offer one from each of the different sports or subjects:








All except the Hocus Focus were childhood favorites. The Hocus Focus cards are just rare as hell.

One of my favorites, 1959 Topps #166 Destruction Crew - Minnie Minoso, Rocky Colavito, Larry Doby

No longer own one, but always loved this card with the bat rack and old tv camera in the picture.
