[triwak]

N172 Old Judge set. I love it because of the amount of poses and the fact that someone of these players aren't pictured anywhere else. These cards are the only picture proof of them. It's also loaded with great players, extreme rarities and various ways to collect the set.

Imagine chasing the cards of two career minor league players 135 years later because they are the only two players in the huge set on those particular teams? They are two of my favorite cards from the set.

Pre.War : T206
Post War: '52 Bowman, '71 Topps

[G1911]

Pre-War Baseball - Turkey Red's, cannot beat the art.

Post-War vintage Baseball - 1953 Topps on design or 1966 Topps for sentimental reasons.

Football - 1971 and 1997 Topps. 1954 Bowman a close runner up, some of the most fun I've had set building.

Non-Sport - T29 Hassan African Animals is my favorite right now

Boxing and overall favorite - T220 Silver, to which I have an unhealthy addiction because of the outdoor scenes, shiny surface, and the 2 fun super short prints.

[Section103]

1909-1912 T206
1922 Neilson's Chocolate
1951 Bowman

[The Detroit Collector]

Prewar- E90-1 American Caramel
Post War- 1951 Bowman

[Brian Van Horn]

I don't have a favorite set. That's what makes collecting great in one respect.

Post War - 1955 Topps is Loaded with Stars and Rookies plus 206 Cards is not insurmountable for this great classic ball card set.
