Let's see your 3 favorite cards

[CharleyBrown]

Hmm... tough to choose 3...

#1 1947 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson (Batting - White Sleeves) - For the simple fact that it is very tough to find any of the 1947 Bond Bread cards... this is probably #1, but will be replaced if I can get my hands on the card of him leaping for the ball in front of the scoreboard...



#2 1949 Leaf Jackie Robinson - I mainly collect Jackie Robinson cards... you can't go wrong with this one.



#3 1948 Bowman Stan Musial - I was going to pick my 1955 Sandy Koufax, and probably would interchange the two on another day... but today Musial is #3.



On a side note, I also love the '61 Juan Marichal simply due to the Dominican historical element of his birth city being known as La Ciudad de Trujillo when Trujillo was in power... Being married to a Dominican, and having a son that is obviously half-Dominican, it makes for a good conversational piece.

I love that 33% of people that have posted on this thread chose the '48 Musial.

Deservedly so. Young Musial's intense stare exudes a confidence you don't normally see in a rookie. Cool cards.

[D. Broughman]

I love the cards with the ballparks in the background.

[Beatles Guy]

I change my mind all the time. With the exception of the '69 Mantle, the other favorites change frequently

I love the signed '69 Mantle, as I used to have one as well. I guess my '66 Mantle would be in my top 3...

Since I collect up to 1949 I have a few cards post-wwII......

Here's my favorites. The Kluszewski Kahn's is really a 1955, imagine a grading company making a mistake.

Hi All,
I'm Charlie a new member to Net54. I hope I'm doing this right.
These are my favorite 3 at least for today.......

[Beatles Guy]

Wow, sweet Musial and Rizzuto. Both are on my short list.

When my now wife and I were dating in the early 80's, she asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I laughed and jokingly said "Mickey Mantle's rookie." At Christmas she was almost crying when she gave me my present, the 62 Brock. "I couldn't afford a Mantle" she said. I married her for finding the Brock (along with her other attributes. The 71 Brock still has my name written on the back, it was my favorite card as an 8 year old. The T206 McGinnity introduced me to the world of tobacco cards at age 13, and I never recovered.

I love these kinds of threads. I'll let you guys see if you can tell my major collecting focus with my favorite 3.

The '53 is my favorite card of all time. It was my first vintage card and was what started my fascination with Campy and the Brooklyn Dodgers. This card will be buried with me.
