Let me start by saying I am not just a collector of vintage baseball cards, I collect antiques that you dont see in the average persons house. Everything from dinosaur eggs to newspapers printed by ben franklin to civil war items. (stay with me here) |

Not sure I could only pick 3-4....I love the E90-1 Young-Boston card...always have. The rest of them are so difficult to choose from. You really need to keep the ones you enjoy the most . I know you are soliciting opinions, and I would too, but in the end it will hopefully be what you enjoy the most that you keep (money/value not withstanding.)....good luck.. |

I wouldn't go so far as to call Anson an all around good guy. He was extremely racist. But the Mayo is a sweet card. |

I wouldn't call Anson an "all around good guy" either, but we have to remember that most people of that era were racists. He refused to play with or against African Americans, but I'm guessing most players of that era agreed with him. Our society has evolved. The society that Anson lived in was segregated and segregation was the law. That doesn't make it right, but it's hard to judge on that criteria when it was the common thinking of his day. |

From your list, I would keep the Mayo Anson and the Zeenut Weaver. The other cards might be easier to replace. |

Everything is relative. If you lived in the south during the mid 19nth century virtually every white citizen, even the most fervant christians as well, were racist to some degree. Cap Anson was a very colorful ballplayer, and a darn good one too, and thats good enough for me. As to him being a "good guy" or not who can say? |

I think a few of us did misconstrue your question. Since I collect, and enjoy, "scarcity" it would be very difficult to pick 5-10. I think I probably have more unique, or almost unique, cards than that. A short list could be: |

Since that e94 overprint set is 10 cards it would be almost all of what I would keep. Now if I could count that as "1" then I could replace it with maybe the D310 Weaver......Overprint set is pretty tough....and so tough I don't think anyone is seriously trying for it (or cares about it). There was one that a board member with about 5 different didn't have, that was on ebay not long ago, but he didn't win it, another board member did. No harm in asking..... ....My right hand man is really wanting my Halla 1911 E136 too....but I digress.....regards |

Jason- Sure, when I round them up from the safes, no problem. What is interesting is the Tattoo Dale Alexander, a very, very tough card, and from the Lionel Carter collection is only a 20 but looks like an 80 or better but has a tiny gash on the back. Carter, who stored all his cards in scrapbooks in photo mounts may have loved the condition of these cards but perhaps back in the day the condition of the backs didn't mean that much (????) |
