Show your favorite graded card

[BRoberts]

I think we can all agree that many times a holder from a third party grading company really enhances the appearance (not to mention increases the value!) of a prewar card. For me, the colors of a 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson really pop when contrasted against the black gasket of an SGC holder. I selected a mid-grade example from a previous Sterling auction to illustrate just how much a holder can improve the appearance of a card (this card isn't mine). Please show a card in a holder that makes the hobby more enjoyable for you!!!

This is my favorite graded card for 1 reason my Mom bought this for me a few years ago for my birthday and Christmas present , my Mom just past away last weekend its priceless to me

Love the early Jackson in his minor league uniform and love the posture of his wife in it also

This is from 1909 in his Savanah Indians Uniform

I have very few graded cards but this one, by far, is my favorite that, luckily, Harliduck sold me.

[calvindog]

I like how the black apron makes the card pop.

Damn! That’s a show stopping Cobb!!!

Because I have a scanner that in general does not like graded cards, I have not scanned many graded cards. And about 99% of my cards are not graded. So here is my favorite scan of a graded card I have scanned, because the scan turned out almost decent.

I like to crop out all but the card. No free grading company advertising.


Brian (and with no back scan, you are also forced to trust me that this is not only a graded card, but also a E92 Dockman)

rgpete, I echo Leon's words, I'm very sorry for your tough loss, sir. There's a few things I have I associate with my long-deceased Mom & Dad, and I can relate .... --- Brian Powell

My green one (point five):

Here's one where the black insert really makes the card stand out even more. I can never get a photo that really shows how great this looks compared to an average OJ card

Everybody has their favorite. My fave changes but this is the first card I bought for my 2nd collection, so that's an added touch too.

Some real beauties listed! Looks like he took his time with this one, in blue pen with perfect placement, so it could just be one of his best finest auto.

I could only get it down to 6.
The Ripken in the GEM holder used to be a rare FF version. I tried trading/buying it from a friend for many years. A while back because of age and none of his family caring about cards he decided to sell everything. So even though we had bought/sold/traded hundreds of cards getting this one from him when he decided to sell everything meant a lot to me.

The Beckett slabs are part of grading history. These are 2 of the 12 cards Beckett used to test their slab design before ever grading a card for the public. I bought serial number 007 from Mark Anderson several years ago. I also have serial number 0005 that I bought from Leon a few years ago who bought it from Mark.

The Ted Williams card is from Teds collection that his daughter auctioned off. I have the LOA from her for it someplace. Just cool to own a card of Ted that he actually owned.

The Score cards are a wrong back pair of my all time favorite two players. I purchased these directly from Score back in the day. These are by far my favorite cards by a mile.

showed some D381s yesterday, so maybe this one? It's up there anyways, I can't pick just one fave.

[Brian Van Horn]

No favorite one, but I like this one.

[refz]

This is my current favorite graded card in my collection. I’ve had this card since I was 18 years old. Had it graded around 2007/08. No plans to re holder.

These are always fun threads and I love seeing the variety of everyones collection.

This is a favorite of mine for sure!

This card, by far. Scarcity, coolness of subject, image quality. By far my favorite

[Natswin2019]

This is probably my favorite graded card. It was always the holy grail for me growing up and having such a nicely centered copy is fantastic.

[tjisonline]

After a 25 year hobby absence, the ‘73 O-Pee-Chee is the card that brought me back in 2018. Went w/ OPC because it was $125 cheaper than the Topps version in the same grade.

Always wanted a Schmidt rookie for as long as I can remember. Schmitty was my fav player as a kid and was lucky to watch him play in-person from 1985-1988.

Favorite graded:


And a close second:

Jordan rookie!
