My pre-war favorites are Eddie Grant, Pepper Martin and Ernie Lombardi, and my post-war favorites are Vada Pinson, Enos Slaughter and Minnie Minoso ...

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:

For me pre-war would have to be Cobb.

Post war - He kind of covers both eras, but I would have to say Bob Feller. I have worked and sat with Mr. Feller on two occasions. He is a very interesting person.

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.

After almost ignoring him entirely, I have had a complete turnaround in the last 2 years and have a great appreciation for Mr. Bob Feller.

Mickey Mantle and Tony Gwynn for post war

Default They have a similar thread going on the card side...

Here again, are my favorite pre-war & post-war players to collect.

Show yours...
