If money was no object, and you had unfettered access to every card ever made and you could only choose one, what card would you take? |

i.e: one that someone has right now and doesn't know enough about cards to have it "restored"....rounded corners, no creases, great color and registration. |

In my opinion, the first baseball card ever produced. I know Leon thinks it is a ticket, not a card |

I think the Creighton card is considered from 1865, though I have no idea how anyone would know for sure. Any idea who owns the Creighton card now? I think Mark Rucker owned it at one time. |

Andy--I agree with Leon. It is a ticket, not a card. It was a ticket till a bit of marketing genius got PSA to slab it and that was used to convince poor Keith that it was a card. Tickets to many of last year's Yankee games had player's pictures on them. I don't think anyone would consider these cards. I would be interested to hear what Lew Lipset thinks on this issue. |

My guess is that Lew would think the same thing as several other of the top experts in the hobby would say. It's a ticket....otherwise, why would it say "admit to the bearer on demand" ...but then again there is no exact definition of a card....ask AAA ...regards |

if I could have any one card, it would be a T206 Magie error in poor condition. It would come close to matching most of the cards in my collection, but still be the jewel. Maybe one to keep my Mattie portrait company...most of the back missing, two tackholes, and a combination of glue and tape residue from previous owners that make it a truly sticky mess. Oh well, that's my dream card. |

I have the same 'affection' for lower condition cards. The reason for this is twofold; first, I have a somewhat limited budget, and second, a well handled card has 'personality' and is a testament to its old age. |

I second that...... my choice would be the "1914 Baltimore News Babe Ruth", followed by the "T210 Joe Jackson" Frank |

The T210 Jackson, the T4 Weaver, the n173 of Radbourne giving the finger--or a '52 Robinson. Lucky I got the Robinson! |

Andy---As to your first point, that makes it a souvenir ticket, not a card. As to your second point, I nominate you to head the Department of Homeland Seurity. I like how you think! |

I don't collect 19th century cards, but the one I would like to own the most would be a nice Goodwin Champ. Not Anson, but Kelly. The Anson is nice, but the Kelly is such a vibrant, dramatic looking card--you can almost feel the storm coming in. |

I would also like the T-4 Buck Weaver or perhaps the T-4 Spider Baum. But would be happy with a T-3 Ty Cobb or Walter Johnson. |

What a great thread. I would struggle choosing between the Baltimore News Ruth and the Just So Young, with honorable mentions to the Peck & Snyder Reds and the N172 Anson in uniform. |
