Default pre-war
Since I don't really collect post war and have acquired my favorite piece in my collection from the estate of Nixey Callahan, I have collected a few of his cards....

Default A nice diverse selection of players...
I had a tough time choosing Gehrig over Ruth and Clemente over Mantle. but the deciding factors for me was there is far fewer collectible items of Lou then Babe. And the Mantle/Clemente ratio is night & day.

I do enjoy the challenge...who doesn't.

Here's an example. Just how many game action "batting" photos do you see of Gehrig and Clemente compared to Ruth and Mantle.

A pair of vintage original TYPE I photos:

Well, I can't say that my contribution will even mean anything, since I don't collect...

However, if I had the means, I would probably stick in the pre-war era, and my boys would be Carl Hubbell and Lou Gehrig.

Leon,
What is the Nixey Callahan piece in your collection that is your favorite & could you share a picture? BTW- Do you have anything that he signed "Nixey" instead of JJ Callahan? Thanks!
