What's your "BEST" card?

[ksfarmboy]

My dad and I used to go to postcard shows together. A lady had just sold some baseball postcards to a dealer my dad knew. The dealer called my dad over because he knew I collected baseball postcards. Well after some negotiations we settled on a deal. My dad sacrificed some great postcards from his collection so I could get this card.

T206, M101-5/4, T210, Deadball Era Red Sox type set, Minor Leagues type set, N172 "One Card per Team," and 1858-1918 New England baseball. Although I have started and stopped many projects over the years, one card changed everything:



The set, pose, background, and player birthplace make this my best card. Once I had it in hand, I sold off my other projects and made the decision to focus solely on Massachusetts born players from the N172 set.

Very cool card, Clint, and with that story behind it I can see
it's one of the priceless cards in your collection.

Here's my best... was my holy grail and on my searchlist for 5 or 6 yrs.
Still can't believe this card is absent of the standard caramel stains. I may
sell off my collection one day, but they will have to fight the rigor mortis
when they peel this Cobb from my hands.

Amazing color and registration on that one, Chuck. Nice avatar, too.

I don't care what anyone says about this card, it's a cool one to look at.

Chuck, that's my holy grail too. Ever since I peeled it out of one of those Dover reprint books when I was 7 years old. I can't post on this thread because I don't have one yet.

Thanks Chuck and you're exactly right. That card is never going anywhere. The CJ Cobb of yours looks damn nice especially for a 1914. Great cards everyone and a great thread.

Great WaJo postcard! Any postmark on the back?
