for everyone! -- what's your favorite card of all time?

That question is so tough I'm going to limit myself to Baseball cards. And even at that I'm going to cheat by posting an uncut sheet of my 1962 Canadian Post Cereal cards featuring both Ernie Banks and Orlando Cepeda:



Neck-and-neck would be my sheet featuring both Rocky Colavito, Frank Robinson and Juan Marichal:

I’m a Yankee fan, but if I was given one choice of a baseball card to describe to someone what a baseball card should look like it would have to be this one

Yes, I know I picked a 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig above, but that 1953 Bowman color of shortstop Pee Wee Reese flying in the air is right there next to Lou. What a great looking baseball card!

My favorite is the T206 Christy Mathewson shown below, as it was in the first batch of 5 Prewar cards I ever picked up, and the pose and overall look mesmerized me into continuing collecting pre-WW2 cards.

Aesthetically Christy tops my charts as well with his "Creation of a Pitching God" pose seen in multiple 'E' candy card sets.

So I guess at heart I (Ad)am a Matty man since Creation of this hobbyist.

Suffering from a Gaffe Infection (having a sick obsession with errors & variations), I adore this big-time duo...
