Packs,
You stole my thunder . I am in complete agreement with you on this one. And the T3's, there all up there.

N162 Kelly (don't have)...someone post a scan of this one, and you might just make some grown men drool.

totally agree with any T3!.....and agree with most other cards already shown. I would also like to add Cracker Jack Cobb, T206 Cobb (Bat Off)(Mine doesn't do it justice), T206 Keeler, and W. Johnson Portrait. A rare fave from my collection would be the D381 Mathewson (My Icon) (not to scale). There's so many others, too many to list. I couldn't even attempt to narrow it down to 1...

Hard to choose one, either Anson or Kelly N162 cards are sportscard lithography at it's best.

Note the colorful sunset in Anson's background....was the artist implying that Anson was approaching
the "sunset" of his career in 1888 ?

And, note the stormy clouds behind Kelly....is this an artistic rendering of his "stormy" personality ?

I particularly loved seeing the T3 Cobb and McIntyre cards posted above. This one never gets talked about, but I think the subtle pastel colors are unsurpassed. Plus, I like the depiction of the Mushroom Bat...

Bump to keep this thread going. All these cards so far are amazing.

For one reason or another I have always loved the pose on the D380-1 Square Frame of Osborn. It pictures him reaching for a ball over the fence with spectators sitting there. I don't own the card but I will someday. I don't have a scan handy but I'm sure I can come up with one. The T3's really are beautiful (some very notable exceptions though, I HATE the T3 (and T206) Sleepy Bill Burns w/ glove on backwards--it just ruins the image)

by the way Rob, why are posting pictures of Dudes in their underwear?

This is not mine (LOL, I wish!!!)...

The Cobb pose with the deep red background is absolutely striking!

tied with the '34 Gehrig,

Here's another great looking T3 even the commons are fantastic.

I also always loved the look of the E97 Keeler. He just looks so relaxed and cool. I don't own this one either but would love to one day. From VCP

Love this Ruth card -

Great idea for a thread....I have to put the square frame Ramlys up there somewhere...

1911 Zeenut Halla.

A few board members have one. I'll let them show it if they are so inclined, as I don't want to grab the image from one of their websites.

Any number of T3's could be in the running, as well.
