Back To Basics. What is One Card You would like to have that you do not have

[mrreality68]

Hi Everyone,

WE have had alot of great threads recently. About AI, Auctions Houses, PSA, and so much more
Some Positive Some Negative and some WOW

I would like to Get Back to Basics for at Least One Thread.

I Love Seeing Photo's of Cards

What is the one that you would like to have that you do not own

THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE

There is no requirements, no budget, just what could would you like to have

Posting pictures is Fine

I am a Joe Jackson Nut so This is my card I would love to own

[parkplace33]

I really want a 1953 Topps Paige. That is my next big pickup.

[puckpaul]

No explanation needed…..

[MuncieNolePAZ]

I know that the Drum and BL460 Red Portraits are much rarer (probably a couple more as well), but this is my all-time dream card that I will never own.

[packs]

E90-1 Tris Speaker

[Casey2296]

This one would be fun to own.

[jakebeckleyoldeagleeye]

Hard to pick just one so I have four.
A E-107 Beckley, Gehrig 1925 Exhibit card, 1948 Leaf Feller and Paige.

[Luke]

Broad Leaf 350 Speaker for me

[fisherboy7]

E107 Wagner Matty or Lajoie, in any condition!

[JCM2009]

1949 Bowman Satchell Paige. A must for any serious Tribe collector who has $3K+ to spend on a baseball card. I'll buy Leroy's card one of these days....

[thatkidfromjerrymaguire]

1933 Goudey Babe Ruth 181

My dream card. The fun thing is that in lower grades, it is a fairly attainable card. The bad thing is that over the last year, it become a little less obtainable because of exponential price increases.

I like that image so much, I bought the "poor man's version", 1935 Goudey Ruth. Scratches the itch a little...but I'd still like the 1933.

[Exhibitman]

Attainable, though I would prefer to trade into it than buy it. The unattainable is always a T206 Wagner.

My dream card that I’ll never own is a CJ Cobb.

Same.

[Vintagecatcher]

Here is the top of my wantlist:H801-7 Old Mill Cabinet Red Munson!

[riggs336]

Need it to complete the set.

[hcv123]

1962 Kennywood "Pittsburgh" exhibits Roberto Clemente 5 of spades (i owned it and was talked out of it years ago). I want to own it again. Also a T3 Cobb - haven't owned one yet.

[commishbob]

No doubt (among PreWar cards) this one. It's a card I doubt I'll ever own. But I can hope anyway.

1915-cracker-jack-19-chief-bender-22994.jpg

My post war most wanted is much more attainable, Billy Pierce's '59 Bazooka card. I've come close on a few in the past. Now with a brand new grandbaby (our first with a second to come in October) I have a hard time justifying money for big ticket cards that should go to spoiling grandchildren!

[jingram058]

I guess this would be it for me. My only complete set is 1953 Bowman. Other full sets on back from there just aren't in the cards, as they say. But I do have a few desirable pre-war, t-cards, etc. This would be the crown jewel, but not likely to happen.

Me too, had a contact at a card shoe in the 90’s. He said he had this card, gave me his phone #, called many times, never answered. Deal never happened. Lol. Never saw him again. Joe. PS, I could have afforded it then, not now.

Man that would be a tough pill to swallow. Sorry to hear.

[Snowman]

1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #181 for me. I'll buy one someday. Hopefully sooner than later.

I had two Clemente's that I let go many years ago and to this day I lament my decision. I wished I could have these once again.

1962 Sugardale- Mine was totally free of stains and any yellowing; I didn't realize what I had until much later.

1968 Topps 3D- This was well before grading, it would probably be graded in Very Good to Excellent today, but it was the Clemente to have almost 40 years ago. I knew what I had in this case, but I needed the money for a non-hobby family expenditure at the time that was more important than the card.

Oh well.

Phil aka Tere1071

[judsonhamlin]

Either a Yum Yum Mike Tiernan or E107 George Davis

[Marslife]

Need this one for my back run, probably never get it :-(

seems pretty scarce ....

N172 Doyle would be my first choice. There's a specific subset of 8 OJs that I'd like to put together, and most of them can be found for a few hundred dollars. Doyle not so much.

[kmac32]

T205 Mordecai Brown with Drum Back

[paul]

W600 Burkett.

[BearBailey]

T3 Cobb

[ValKehl]

I was the first underbidder for this card when it was auctioned a few years ago :

[Jason]

T210 JJ of course.

[mrreality68]

WOW

I Love the Great and many cases unique cards everyone is selecting

I Like the pictures, I like the stories behind some of them and/or the reasoning.

I even like when we ask about the 1 Card and some give multiple because often hard to pick just 1

Keep Them Coming

[Arazi4442]

My “wow, I won the lottery” choice would be the Baltimore News Ruth

Kind of realistically hope to get someday is a 1907 Wolverine News Ty Cobb. Always loved the look of that card.

Maybe the best-looking uniforms ever.

[tbob]

Joe.

[Foo3112]

I could name quite a few cards but I also want to be real and not name something that I know I will never be able get. For me, a 1968 Nolan Ryan RC in PSA 8. I almost picked one up at this years National. It was between that and another card and I went with the other since that's what my intended target was.

The 1968 card I did see of Ryan's was beautifully centered. What turned me off was that it was in an old holder and also seemed to have a tiny crack. The crack didn't seem to affect the grade however. Again, it was a tiny crack. If PSA was reholdering at the show, I would have possibly given it a shot but since they were backed up, they stopped taking all orders so it was an easy decision for me on the pass. Now if I had enough money for that card and the one I also picked up, I would have bought both for sure.

I will own it one day.

[tuckr1]

52 Topps Mantle!! I am currently trying to trade for a 52 Topps Mantle for a 35 Chicle National Football Stars set

[x2drich2000]

From a fantasy prospective, I would love to own the Just So Cy Young. From a someday this might be possible, today's pick would be an E92 Nadja Mathewson.

[Ricky]

I'll be checking my mailbox today to see if anyone sent me the CJ Cobb...

[Joshwesley]

1948 Leaf
Satchel Paige
Always has been/always will be

Good to see a few other people listing SP cards

I’m
Born and raised in Mobile, Al….

Satchel will always be the goat to us…….. although Mobile has produced a lot of HOF’s !

[peterb69]

T205 Hoblitzell no stats is my dream card and need to finish my master set

[Natswin2019]

E95 Cobb for me. I love the E95/96 sets and would love to add that cobb one day.

[BCauley]

T206 Walter Johnson portrait. Had it at one point and hope to have it back in my collection within the next year.

As a t206 collector

[Jdoggs]

T206 Wagner psa 8

[Seven]

51 Bowman Mickey Mantle.

I regret passing on one before the Covid Boom every day.

[TigerMike]

I have the same regret about the 51B Mantle. But I'd have to say the 14 CJ Mathewson.

[Kidnapped18]

1914 Cracker Jack (E-145) #88 Christy Mathewson

[CobbSpikedMe]

I've always loved this card and would choose it if I could have any one card for my collection.
