[Blunder19]

Cy Young upside down 4 back


T206 with a President Taft Campaign Sticker "Meet us at Wilmington" dated nov 9th on the back... after some research you can see Nov 9th 1909 Taft visited Wilmington... This is prob my favorite one... the fact that it made it through all these years with an piece of American History is awesome...


My 1 and only brown lenox... they are too rare to not be one of your favorites if you own one

Thanks! I had it custom made. It is far and away the favorite card in my collection.

Nice Hindu, looks much nicer than a 2, other than the back being OC is there something else wrong with it?

There is a little bit of vertical creasing on the front, you can't see it on the scan. When I get home tonite I'll take a pic and post it so you can see... But still, its a great card, probably the favorite of my collection.

As always, beautiful cards, everyone!

At the moment...

[Robextend]

Wow, really nice to see these amazing cards in one thread. Here are my favs:

[terjung]

David, that autographed '34 Goudey Gehrig may be my favorite card that I've seen in anybody's collection. Simply iconic.

David: Your M116 Signed Joe Wood does not make the top 3? Man, tough collection

[rdixon1208]

My favorite card that I've seen so far is Michael's Texas Tommy Speaker! What an amazing card!

[BCauley]

OK, I apologize since the first is not pre-war but it's my favorite card ever made so it's my #1.

[calvindog]

[Matt]

Tough to pick 3.

[CW]

Cool cards, Matt! I recall seeing that Johnson before, but I
don't remember the story behind it. Is that a blank-backed,
hand cut proof card which was given to Johnson?

Thanks for sharing the scans, and whatever info you might have.

Thanks Chuck! The T206 WaJo was his personal copy that he kept in a scrapbook he assembled before he was married. It's not clear how he acquired it - if the ATC gave it to him or if it was from a fan; the part of the back that is showing is blank, but much of it is covered with a newspaper clipping.

[wonkaticket]

Amazing stuff everyone really great items!

I can't pick only three right now, heck ask me again in an hour and I'll have a new fav three. So consider me disqualified.




Cheers,

John

Wow Tony, that Lajoie is stunning!! How can that be an SGC50??

[Exhibitman]

favorite cards:

Baseball: I tend to think of favorite baseball cards not in terms of rarity or value but in terms of where I was in life when I got them. I pulled the Aaron from a pack in 1976, have had the T206 Johnson since I was 12, and the Dropo is the first old card I got (probably got it when I was 10 or 11).



Nonsports: Easiest to choose of all categories. I'd wanted a good Connery autograph for years before I got one, Shatner/Kirk 'nuf ced, and the Marx Bros are not only favorites but the card is from a rare theatrical set from 1926 and is the only example I've seen.



Boxing: One of my cousin, one of my favorite, one of "the greatest of all time"; the latter two are 1 of 1, as I've never seen another of either:

my baseball cards are almost all gone -

but here are my favorite three baseball this morning.....

[ghostmarcelle]

I'm not trying to be flip (well, maybe just a little), but I just scanned these and at this very moment they are my three favorites. It'll change any minute now.

[Brian]

Matt, wow, if you care to part with one of those Greenbergs, can you let me know?!
Brian
PS very nice cards, all

[dstraate]

I had fully intended to post on this thread, but after seeing what every body else is bringing to the table, I'll just sit in the locker room until the varsity is out of the showers

Wonka-The Plank is just stinkin gorgeous. I was oogling that thing like it was a Cindy Crawford pinup

[Tyler]

I've truly enjoyed this thread...awesome stuff, guys.

[DixieBaseball]

Here a few of my favorites :

[E93]

It depends on what day I am asked, but these are my favorites today. The Lajoie is my favorite T206 pose and was one of my first two T206s that I got when I was 12 years old. The Cobb is an e93. I should probably post it on the big border thread too.
