favorite card?

[Anthony S.]

I'd say my choice is driven by the uniqueness of the pose. I've narrowed it down to three, but can't decide. So in the spirit of completely disregarding the spirit of the post, I'll list all three:

T209 Thompson B&W (Uncle Sam pose)

1913 Zeenut Leard (Let's get drunk and bunt)

Kalamazoo Bats 2 player card in which you can see the scenery support beam in the background

Don't own any of the 3. I think 2 of these are Leon's.

This is my current favorite that I own:

From Autographed T206

This is my favorite that I don't own:

Still trying to decide my favorite card that I don't own.

Encapsulated Cobb green background portrait with Howe McCormick's stamp on the Piedmont back. Graded as a 2 because of the stamp, would otherwise be a strong 4 if not a 5. The Cobb greens are beautiful anyway, and this one fits my niche.

[T2069bk]

The most recent one I picked up!!!!

T210 Jackson followed closely by A Boston Garter Joe.

Unreal T205 Matty, JimB. Whoever owns that Cobb signed T202 . . . WOW!
It is near impossible to say which is my favorite card. I have half-a-dozen in my collection that could be so designated and some of the cards I have seen posted on the Board or by the various auctions are pretty great, too. Just one? The winner by a whisker . . .

Something very classic about this one.

It's not a prewar card, but this has always been my favorite (I do currently own this one):

My favorite card is T206 Eddie Plank...no I don't own one (probably never will)
But it's an amazing card in my opininon...and this E95 is no slouch either!

David.....

That probably is my favorite in your collection.

And it is tough to pick a favorite out of your collection (too many awesome cards to choose from)!

The favorite card in my collection is also a Matty...1912 RPPC. The scans don't do it justice.



By the way Joe D., you should post your Astoria Giants. That is one postcard I have always enjoyed viewing. It is truly a cornerstone piece. Where did you pick it up?

Mike -

Your Matty postcard is incredible. I am sure, as you say, it looks even better in person. Beautiful.


Here is the Astoria Giants card.
It is my favorite card in my collection, and is probably my favorite in the hobby.
But, whenever I reply to threads that ask about favorites - - - I usually exclude the Astoria card (otherwise it would be the only card I post )
