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

[CW]

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...

[Leon]

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

[scmavl]

Wow! I love the Mel Allen card!!!

[lutherlafy]

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.

Became a Stanky fan when he managed the White Sox in the late '60's. Hated the guy when I was an eight-year-old because every pack of 52 Bowmans I opened had him staring at me in the staged batting pose and I was trying desparately to find an Eddie Matthews card. That 51 Topps card of course is one that will never be sniffed.

Great cards Chris! I'm in the process of [slowly] reading "It's Good to be Alive" and am finding it [and Campanella] extremely fascinating. Once this book is done, it's going to be very tough *not* to add a Campy card to my collection, which one is going to be a tough decision.

Again, great cards.

Regards,

Richard.
