Not that I own this, or ever will, but this is my favorite baseball card of all time.

These two are up there. The Dukes are fantastic. The Hank DS always a favorite. Wajo portrait as well (not pictured).

Always been my favorite card. Shows Kelly at the absolute peak of his popularity and career, just after he was sold to Boston for $10,000, at the time a colossal sum. The image depicted is the result of a photo shoot. Some years ago REA sold an imperial cabinet of a different image of Kelly from the same shoot, which is also depicted.

I must go with the Philadelphia Carmels E95 Ty Cobb.

If the question is what is your favorite specific card you own, then it's this Speaker that my mom bought for me when I was 12.

If it's what card in general is your favorite (not a certain copy of it), then that's a tougher question and I probably have a dozen different answers, but for today it's Gwynn's 1982 TCMA.

If I were forced to narrow my selection down to a single specific card, it would be one or the other of my Warren Spahn cards:

Some great cards and amazing variety indeed

Really cool thread

This may seem odd as my favorite but it is a minor league Joe Jackson posing with his wife.
And the look on both there faces in addition he is wearing his baseball uniform that is so different from what they wear today

So hard to choose just one. But for this moment I will go with this one.

"So Joe when are you going to grow up and get a real job?"

Another picture from that same day. ‘Photo of Joe with two of his Savannah teammates taken at the corner of Broughton and Habersham Streets. The unique part about this photo is Joe's wife Katie is the girl on the left with the sweater on. We presume the other two ladies are the wives / girlfriends of the other two ballplayers. The name of the player on the right is Al Demaree and the last name of the player on the left is Murray.’

That is an amazing photo.
Congrats on having it

Love it

My favorite card, too. The pose was also used on the Yum Yum issue.

My two picks are Sam Barkley the name behind the Pirates and Jackie Robinson

Different Kelly for me...

I've been looking for a nice example of this card for years and finally won this last summer at REA.

[ClementeFanOh]

Tough question- if I was forced, I'd vote the 53 Bowman Color Pee Wee Reese.

For me, it has to be the 1952 Coca Cola Cards. While they're not cards in the traditional form, they are incredibly unique. Especially when you start seeing each card for each player. The way Coca Cola decided on how to design these cards sheds so much importance about the style of the player and what makes them special. When you see them, you can't take your eyes off of them.

I love all Wagner portraits-such an iconic pre-war baseball card.

But especially the 1906 Fan Craze. It’s original facing orientation, much earlier issue than other portrait versions, incredibly scarce, and large scale like a 52 Topps-making for a mesmerizing pre and post-war pairing.
