Default Ty Cobb owned!

The provenance behind this photo being a Ty Cobb possessed photo is everything. I could lose everything else, but this, is irreplaceable.

Never thought I'd be fortunate enough to own these. Probably the best, pretty much unknown, baseball player I can think of.

My favorite card in my collection and it’s my favorite card in the hobby. It is my true “grail card” and I’m grateful to own it.

Aaron, one of my favorite Cobb cards ever too — but you have to show the back!

If you lived in Detroit in 1976, the Bird was the word. His card in 1977 was all the rage among us 11-year-olds.

Something about this one - the unique pose, the color - they can bury me with this one.

The Glazner, which I bought from Leon, has been my favorite card for the past 10 years. The Killifer, which I bought from Bob Lemke, is a close 2nd.

Great, GREAT stuff guys! I have lots of cards that I love, but it’s the totality of my collection that gives me joy. That said, I love super unique, super oddball, super rare items. For me, this postcard captures all three of those attributes to a tee!

This postcard was sent by HOF umpire Bill McGowan to his then girlfriend in 1915. I’ve never seen anything like it, but I love it! McGowan umpired in the tri-state league in 1913, so I presume this postcard was made then and probably by him. He would have only been 17 years old!!!!

At the time of this discovery, the earliest known card of McGowan was from 1948. So this pre-dates that card by roughly 35 years!!

This one is so unique and with such a connection to the subject that it has to be my favorite of this thread now.

These cards are religious relics! Wow. I might find them in Notre Dame.

To answer this question a different way, of my cards that give me that, "I can't believe I own this" feeling, I think it's this one today.
