Best Looking Black & White Card Ever

[paul]

There was a recent thread on the best looking card ever. I thought I'd start a similar thread restricted to black & white cards.

Here are a few nominees. My two favorites:

N173 Ewing & Mascot
E300 Wagner

A few other nice choices:

Four Base Hits Kelly
W600 Waddell with green mount (if that counts as black and white)
E121 Ruth photo montage pose
R-309-1 Ruth
Felix Mendelsohn test issue / proof of Christy Mathewson
PC796 or Novelty Cutlery of Cobb & Wagner

I only have scans of two:

hmm...i never noticed honus's name was/is misspelled on the pc796?!

I'd nominate the oj with the doggie...and the e107-honus, mathewson or young...and I love that clements card with the guy reaching over into the crowd recently posted.

my fav...

[Chris-Counts]

I can't decide which one I like better ...

After perusing my black-and-whites, all the Zeenuts and 796 postcards and Billiken beauties, it came down to these two stunners. It's a very subjective choice, of course; I look forward to what others will post as I am sure there will be cards that will blow McGraw and Ruth away.

E107 Honus Wagner
E107 Cy Young
E93 B & W Ty Cobb

I'm partial to the Butter Cream Ruth. (Scan is from REA's Web site.)

Of ones I own, the Lajoie. (Big surprise.)

Wagner... semi-pro..

Novelty Cutlery Ty Cobb. There are Sepia & black & white varieties of the set. Only about 10% of Novelty Cutlery postcards are the black & white variety from my experience. Attached is a black & white Cobb. Happy Festivus to all.

Maybe a strange choice out of my collection, but I really like these:

Great cards guys...I love em all...Rhett...I think Cobb and Cruises midlines are pretty comparable. Although Cruise tried to fix his...but it's still off and his crowns aren't looking so hot either...boy do I wish I won those partials of cobbs in the halper auction! here's one of my favorite's I own.
