What is your favorite card?

[RCMcKenzie]

I guess my favorite card is the T210 Joe Jackson card. I don't own one. My favorite card that I own is probably a T213 Ty Cobb. What is your favorite card?

(this is a perfect thread for a mock Jeff's board thread)

[mrreality68]

Not Sure if the Jeff you want to Mock is me or not (if so that is ok)

The Favorite Card I own is E90-1 Joe Jackson
The Favorite Card I wish I own is the Old Mills Joe Jackson

[Brian Van Horn]

No favorite card in the collection, but a favorite entertainment card.

[Leon]

As someone who likes centering it's probably this one.

[mark evans]

1957 Topps Mantle, in part I guess because of the impression it made on me as a young kid.

No, great cards, Jeff, and all. I think I was talking about a board started by another Jeff. It was supposed to be a friendly jab. I have forgotten the url as the board had stalled. Not sure if it is still around. It was mostly a pick-up thread board.

Let's see some more cards.

[sb1]

easy answer, I will go with this one..

[Rich Falvo]

My favorite card is probably the 1954 Bowman Ted Williams. Always thought that was a great looking card.

For my PC, the grail card would be a T206 Drum or Broad Leaf of one of the Providence players.

Wow!!! Absolute beauty!

So many great cards in this thread.

[brass_rat]

Amazing, Scott -- very nice indeed!

[LuckyLarry]

[darwinbulldog]

I don't think there's a nicer-looking card than a T227 Baker, but my favorite cards are my Louisiana type cards, especially these two.

One of my favorites this afternoon

I need to get a better picture but I have to post this one because it also has a story behind it. It wasn't my first Mantle but I fell in love with the card art, as how could you not? 1956 was a beautiful set for topps.

I acquired it at a small show that was run in the VFW building in Cooperstown, at a young age. My Father purchased the card for me. It was one of the first memories I have of really collecting cards, and it was also my first trip to the Hall of Fame.

I remember speaking to the man who sold it to me, who I later found out was George Mollyn. He must have taken a solid 20 minutes to talk to me about all different sets both pre and post war. Spent a lot of time talking about the 33 and 34 Goudey sets. Really one of the highlights of the trip, in my opinion.

I could find one in better condition, but I don't think I will. I don't plan on grading it or parting with it anytime soon. It's still in the holder and plastic that it was sold to me in. With the writing on the back of the plastic indicating the price. It'll stay like that for the future, as a way to remind me of that hot summer day, packed into the tiny VFW discussing cards as a kid.

I have three that it really depends on the day.

Today it's this one.

[DHogan]

[chadeast]

Like others it varies for me, but more often than not it's the Big Train

[VintageBen]

Still can’t really believe I own this card!!!

Great cards everyone, Ben, that Cobb is a treasure as is Chads Johnson.
Not sure the term "Chads Johnson" is appropriate for this sub.

[Wanaselja]

My absolute favorite player when I was a kid (I’m 44, never saw him play). I loved the beauty of his numbers. Never thought I’d ever own this card. Picked this up last year with an assist from these Boards.

My favorite card in my collection as well as my favorite in the entire hobby

[t206fanatic]

first serious card I ever bought

[Rhotchkiss]

This is going to be a great thread.

This is my favorite card (although I think the 53 Bowman PeeWee Reese is the coolest card). I love the two players, and I feel like Wagner is literally handing “best player in the league” honors off to Cobb for the next decade

[molenick]

Always hard to pick your favorite "child" but this is mine at the moment (excuse my reflection from the phone pic).

What an amazing card!!!! The 1914 Mathewson is my favorite as well, yours looks much better than a 1!

[icollectDCsports]

'33 Goudey #144, Ruth. To me, this will always be the quintessential baseball card for the game's most iconic player.

[CardPadre]

I’m not a collector of oversized stuff. But I love, love, love this guy. I can only imagine the excitement of sending in your wrappers and having him show up in the mail after an agonizing wait.

I’m guessing the writing on the back marks the exact day it arrived in the mail. Makes me love it all the more, pure collecting joy.

[Dead-Ball-Hitter]

Not my most valuable card, but can’t ever sell this one…. My favorite baseball card.

All time favorite, all sports, is 1957 Topps Basketball Bill Russell rookie.

[ClementeFanOh]

There are so many great cards- 1953 Bowman Color Stan Musial- perfect card. Cracker Jack Ed Cicotte- captured his arrogance perfectly. 1968 Topps 3D Roberto Clemente- the perfect storm! Great image, great player, rare and valuable. Trent King

Horizontal matty

[MVSNYC]

Man, great thread. Chris, your Chase missing color is one of the best errors extant.

Can I pick 3?

A few of my favoties

[Kzoo]

one of my favorites....

[jimq16415]

Mine doesn't fit in with your beautiful and rare cards. When I was 9 the Pirates were my team, Clemente was my favorite, and he led them to a World Series win. Any 9 year old would love Aaron and Mays, so when I got older this card was an easy card to love. It's not pre-war and even though I collect pre-war this card is "rare" enough that it's not everywhere and not everybody has one.

My favorite card that I don't have is a 1958 Kahn's Clemente. I would probably give up all my cards to have one.

POP on this in all grades is 67. POP of the regular topps card in all grades is about 1800.

Say Hey

[Johnny T]

Not my most expensive, nor my most rare, but still, by far and away my favorite.

[MikeGarcia]

..The more I look at this guy the more I like the card. ; It's also a pre-war thick-stock Wheaties Premium from "The Jack Armstrong The All-American Boy Radio Program" , from the same set as my Joe D. in the very recent " Dimaggio favorite " thread.

[michael3322]

So many wonderful cards here.

Here's my favorite - 1950 Bowman Jackie.

^^^ THAT ^^^ is the winner, and the best 42 card of them all, just my humble little old opinion.

[Vintagedeputy]

I can’t stop looking at this one.

[MVSNYC]

Great cards!

Andy, I used to own that Murphy BL 460. Really nice example. I was just saying to another advanced T206 collector, I think the really tough rare backs (Uzit, Drum, BL 460) have pretty much dried up; don't see them for sale too often these days. Enjoy the card!

[todeen]

This was my first Gehrig, and it's perhaps my favorite card.
