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.

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:

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.
