Cards that satisfy you

[teetwoohsix]

Here's a few that I really enjoy having each time that I look at them- regardless of condition. I have more than these that give me that feeling, but I'll just post these for now.

Some of the "aging" has something to do with it, as well as the actual artwork too.

Forgot about this card until you posted yours. Definitely a great beater.

One of my first two T206s purchased 30+ years ago. It is still my favorite pose in the set.

I know what you mean; you get it and just are happy with it precisely as is. For me it is usually something obscure but rare that captures the essence of the subject as I think if it.

Sorry, I still don't have anything but a document scanner, guys, but the two that came first to mind are the SGC Good 1910 Sepia PC796 Walter Johnson I won in the recent REA auction, and my 1907 Dietsche PSA 5 Ty Cobb Fielding Position. I tend to associate the year of the card with the player's season that year, and the Johnson represents his first big year at 25-17, with a 1.36 ERA and 313 K's. The Cobb is of course one of his tougher rookies, and represents his first batting title at .350. While the Johnson is graded only good, it appears ExMt-NMt, and was downgraded due to the most miniscule of pinholes and some faint indentations its storage in an album produced. It might have the best eye appeal of any of the Johnson PC796's.

Great thought for an interesting post!

Regards to all,

Got to be this......when I got this card I started selling most of my pre-war collection because they just seemed to not compare to this card. This was the card I had wanted since 1983, at age 12, when I saw a picture of one (with a Famous & Barr back) in a "Baseball Cards" magazine that featured a small Ruth checklist. After school I started the quest to find one at a good price but most were in auctions (and in higher grades....I often wondered if it existed in lower grade....LOL). Bid on a couple in auctions and lost out then finally found one for sale that I liked and here it is.......finally

texasleaguer, this card makes me feel like a kid again...I always think about how many hands have handled this Plank (and sometimes wish I could break it out and handle personally as well ) since it was originally packaged by Philly Caramel Co. Whatever kid or adult that originally found it in their pack must have been mesmorized by the bright colors, pose and iconic ballplayer being represented (certainly feelings I share). That's what I think about every time I look at this card...and why it definitely satisfies!

This one does it for me. This must have been taken before a game as the stands are empty and someone is walking in the background. He has a wad of gum or something else. He has almost a distant look on his face as if lost in thought; yet he has taken a gigantic swing. I am not sure what he is looking at...it doesn't appear as if he is looking at the ball, the pitcher or anything else. I look at all the energy he expended making this swing and wonder about the context it was taken in.....unfortunately pictures capture only a moment in time.
