+1 for the T206 Cobb Red. It's one of the most common T206's out there and the prices are ridiculous for something so available. 52' Mick comes in a close second for me.

Charlie Brown's idol Joe W.....A scant 2 years ago one of the 2 known copies came on the market and fetched 85,000 DodgyCoins. A mere 8 months later in a private sale Joe passed hands for a remarkable 25 box cars of rhubarb. The new owner of the card wishes to be anonymous.

The "box car" buyer certainly was a rube. Charlie Brown's hero wasn't Joe W, it was some guy named Shlabotnik...

Eric, right you are. Couldn't come up the last name but believe his first name is Joe.

I was going to post a screenshot of the first Joe Shlabotnik strip but I wasn't sure about copyright laws. But you can go here to read more https://peanuts.fandom.com/wiki/Joe_Shlabotnik. The first strip with Joe in it is from 8/18/1963 and mentions 40 other players (I counted 17 HOFers).

This reasonably nice 1968 Mira Tuttosport Wilt has to be up there for me. I paid … wait for it... $30, and it was an auction not some inadvertent giveaway.

Anything modern. Growing up in the junk wax era, I just can't wrap my head around current cards being worth anything.

Second choice: everything I want but haven't bought yet.
