I never get tired of seeing that card, Leon. Such a beauty. My favorite tends to change from month to month, but I'll go with the Big Train today.

I have always been fond of this one.

That is a gorgeous Train!!! Maybe one day I will have one too.

Not rare, but he's my favorite pre-war Cub and this was the specific card I wanted for him in my collection.

He started his Cubs career at age 27, but he managed to set a number of team records and is top-10 in many more.

Cubs wins, the only one with 200 wins (201).

Games played, the only one with more than 500 games played...or 600 played (605).

Innings pitched, #1 and only one of 2 with more than 3000 IP (3137.1).

He was a starter, a closer, middle relief, mop-up...you name it over 16 seasons with the Cubs.

He wasn't great, and he wasn't awful. He was consistently good with a 3.55 ERA and 1.29 WHIP.

16 seasons as a Cub and he brute forced himself into many team records and the team HOF. Salute.

I love Root and I love Tattoo Orbit. Great card.

Plus he was the pitcher who threw the ball to Ruth when "Ruth Called His Shot!" and blasted a homer with 2 strikes.

Holy cow, definitely some jaw droppers in this thread.

My flavor du jour.

[todeen]

21 Exhibit Speaker is the first pre-war card I can remember buying.

I love Wheaties, I think they just stand out on a display shelf.

Turkey Red Speaker was and still is one of my grail cards. Had to sell some lesser Speakers (T206 and T205) to acquire it from another Net54 member.

T202 Speaker / Wood arrived in a trade; although it's stained I really like it.

21 Exhibit Cobb was an early pandemic purchase. I took the advice of everyone on this site, find the best condition card for the least amount. Very happy I did.

Nice Jeff. Those probably surpass my collection in value LOL...

[pawpawdiv9]

For me, my favs:
of course is the 51 & 52 Mick, but they are locked away
along with the Leaf Paige
I do look at the Green Cobb at some times.

But my focus is on the 1916-20 Unc Big heads, as i still trying to accomplish the feat. since i started in 2015 with the first one. (as noted in my signature below)

Gotta have a pic,

[Jstottlemire1]

My big three. My favorites for sure.

[orioles70]

Picking one card is tough but this 1912 T227 Cobb definitely makes any favorite list from my collection.

For Pre-war you can't beat this,



but this is close.

[brunswickreeves]

Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson will transcend baseball in the centuries ahead, giving their cards lasting value and appreciation. These are my two favorites pre and post war, from 1933 Goudey and 1952 Topps, which further drives the significance of these cards as some of most iconic sets ever produced.

Still my favorite Ruth card:

T3 Cobb is mine as well. Wish I could afford one!

[Rhotchkiss]

Some really great cards on this thread.

My favorite single card of all time is the 1953 Bowman Peewee Reese

My favorite type of card is the Rose Company Post Card

[TheBig6]

Love looking all the great cards in this thread
Here’s my contribution.

[kkkkandp]

I don't hate these...

[ClementeFanOh]

Great topic! So many to choose from. Thoughts:

1) Ryan Hotchkiss- the 53 Bowman Color Pee Wee. YES! "This is the way".

2) the 57 Topps Roberto is a spectacular card.

3) 53 Bowman Color Stan the Man isn't shabby either!

Great cards don't have to be of HOF players, though. The 71 Topps Manny
Sanguillen is a great looking card for sure, as is the 57 Topps Ted Klu.

[Baseball Rarities]

I have similar tastes as Ryan. This is my favorite card from the 1908 PC760 Rose Company postcard set - Walter Johnson's rookie issue.

[Touch'EmAll]

Mentioned in prior post, here is that Cobb.

[Leon]

Ryan- The 1859 cdv is off the charts. A great card.

Here are a couple of postcards that are my favorites today..

[Exhibitman]

If we go by eras:
