Who is the One Player Whose Card You Still Do Not Have, But Want?

Mine is Denny Lyons

Ray Chapman. This tragic figure in baseball history has just plain eluded me for years.

Brian

[frankbmd]

The only player to have a team and a bingo palace named after him, the original Cleveland Indian, Louis Sockalexis.

Ted Williams for me. Ever since I started collecting in the mid 80's I wanted the 59 Fleer Ted Williams set. But for some reason I never got it even though I had several chances over the years. For the last 2 years I looked at every set listed on eBay and never pulled the trigger.

I am happy to say that after 30 years I did pick up the set a couple months ago from a Net54 member(Paul S). I got a amazing set at an even more amazing price and have looked through and read the backs so many times I think I could tell you the story on the back of every card.

Pete Hill. Since there are only three cards of him known, that's pretty much the impossible dream. Right behind him I would pick Bill Foster, who is even harder

I'm a new collector and just want a t206 cobb....

I've watched many auctions and just can't find the one that I want to pull the trigger on.
I'm sure I'll end up with the red portrait in the 1.5-2 condition catagory but of course I'm just looking for the "perfect one"
Just pull the trigger already josh!

Kenny, I thought there was only ONE EXAMPLE EACH, of Pete Hill's Cabanas and Punch cards. What am I missing?

Oh, and currently my "one player" whom I need is fellow Negro Leaguer, Andy Cooper, preferably either his Billiken or Tomas Gutierrez.

Good topic, Raymond! It's very hard for me to pick just one name. I could go with Ruth and Gehrig, Cobb, Shoeless Joe, Aaron, Mays, Jackie, Stan the Man, Matty and Tris, Joltin' Joe or Mick....but I think I'll have to go with Ted Williams. As soon as I can star collecting again, Ted will be knocked off my want list.

Honus Wagner followed closely by Eddie Plank. I'm in the middle of a Wagner Biography and he is really calling me through the cardboard!

A nicely centered, low PSA graded, 1954 Topps Hank Aaron rookie. That'll be the last card I get for my set because it's the holy grail of my set and I'm hoping that this bubble will burst and I'll actually be able to afford it.
