If you could only choose one

and I've read that one collector actually has both colors.

Could I look at the back of the t206s before making my choice?

I have no real answer...if presented the opportunity I would probably end up flopping around on the floor until they hauled me out of there.

+1 I'd be a drooling mess. The cards would be ruined by me picking one up, start to leave leave the room, just to stop think about it put it back and get a different one. Then repeat for about 5-10 hours. But really pressed it'd have to be the Ruth...no the Wagner...no the Anson...no...wait...Aw crap!

Baltimore News Ruth in blue....hence the photo )

What a great thread!

For me, it would probably be...

1. Just So Cy Young - the sheer rarity gets me on this one
2. Baltimore News Babe Ruth - again, the overall pop number is sexy to me
3. T206 Honus Wagner
4. E107 Honus Wagner

But honestly, if I could reach into a grab bag and get any one of those four, I would be the happiest guy on earth. They are all insane cards, all with tremendously pleasing images.

E 107 Christy M, T 210 Joe Jax, Balt. News Ruth. Hardest decision for me is choosing between my fav. set E 107 and my fav. collectable player Joe Jackson.

Actually, there are two collectors who have one of each color.

Just So Young

The Baltimore News Ruth, so that I could trade it to Dan McKee for his WaJos and other cards I covet!!

E107 Matthewson or E107 Wagner

I likewise wouldn't mind to have the Ruth card to trade to Dan, and have a Mega Millions ticket for just that purpose. Failing that, and being a man of simpler (poorer) tastes, I think I could be happy with a Cracker Jack Joe Jackson.

I only collect Cincinnati Reds cards, so if a Peck & Snyder was available I would grab that. If not, I would definitely go with the T206 Wagner just for the "cool" factor.

How about either a Wagner or Plank with a Hindu back, at least it's possible.
