Show off your best card

I'm not sure how one defines best, but this is one of my favorites due to the great eye appeal. It's also one of the supplements that is infrequently seen.

That is beautiful. I've been looking for one of those for a while now without any luck, so you are correct about it being a tougher one to locate.

Great Ruth P/C. It hurts me every time I see it that I let that one go. At least it went to someone who really loves it so that's a good thing.

Thanks, Phil. Yea, I love this card. I can't believe I own it, and it's the only card in my collection that I consider irreplaceable. It's currently in a good home (in a climate controlled safety deposit box ).

Some unsigned ones...





And some signed ones...

One of my favorites and I got lucky - no one bid on it - Greg Manning Auction at the National in 1994.

[CobbSpikedMe]

Ticking this card of my Jersey City prewar wantlist was priceless for me.

Considering the rarity of Red Cross cards, finding one specific common from the set seemed impossible to me. Then one showed up that I could afford and I jumped on it.

Thanks,

Total is around 7" by 7", it's in my safety deposit box, so can't go grab it to verify.

Great cards everybody, awesome card Daryle!

My highest graded Buchner HOF'er

[tedzan]

19th Century favorite....tough decision, so here are both of them





Two early 20th Century favorites

1904 Eastern League Champions....the year there was no World Series in Major League Baseball





One of the toughest of the 27 white-bordered red Cobb's





I had to include these two favorites simply because their cards represent a year in which their records may never be broken



Post WWII favorite

1949 LEAF......NOT 1948 !


Last but not least....after all, I only paid a penny for my Mantle in the Fall of 1952




Please excuse the multiple "favorites" .... but, I find it hard to believe that anyone can just select a single "favorite" card from their collection

[Robextend]

My two favorites...at the moment!

[bh3443]

This is from 1980....... my favorite's the Aaron Rookie! The 3 T206 Cobbs are Sweet Cap, Piedmont and Polar Bear. There's an 1888 Boston schedule, too!

This is my best - top HOFer with tough back.

This has been my favorite since the day I got it. It's a small albumen:

[ChiefBenderForever]

To tough to choose just one but anyone of these would fit the bill !!!

[Mikehealer]

Nice cards Johnny. I'm like you, tough to choose just one. Here are three that I consider my best.

[mintacular]

Love the Hindu's. Just posted this on another thread but it is arguably my favorite/best cards so might as well post here too:

[71buc]

Tough choice for me as well. So I would have to go with my two favorite pre-war and two favorite from the 1950s. I picked up the Aaron and Clemente in the past 2 months. Growing up they were my favorite players so it was a thrill to finally add them to my collection. I have always loved the appearance of the Mathewson and Clarke cards.
