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

[UKCardGuy]

1930 Lou Gerhig W554

I need it for my set but I love the card and the image.

M110 Wagner or a mid to high grade T206 green Cobb.

I'm going to cheat because I need two for my set:

[egri]

Signed 1953 Topps that I still need, especially Howie Fox, Vern Bickford and Bill Norman. Per PSA/DNA, they're out there, I just haven't seen them yet.

I've also been passively looking for a signed 1949 or 1951 Bowman Jocko Thompson for a while. I watched A Bridge Too Far recently, about Operation Market Garden, which he received the Silver Star in.

Today I'd have to say a 1934 Goudey Jim DeShong, because it's the last card I need for my set (if anyone has a low-to-mid grade copy they are looking to move, please let me know!)



Longer term, though, I would definitely like to add one of these to my collection:

Once I pull him off I just have to talk someone into selling me the 8th card

Love the look of that card and the pose

The T227 David Bruce Brown is the one I'd want. He ran in the first two Indianapolis 500 races before being killed later in 1912 during race practice.

This is likely the most valuable racing card because of the scarcity.

Seeing as it went for $23k earlier this year in an REA auction, I'll never own one unless I win the lottery.

I’d love a nice 1933 DeLong Lou Gehrig.
Prices have gotten a bit out of hand, but this one is on my short list…

[atx840]

This card is confirmed but I’ve yet to find an image of it. My photoshop version.

T206: Johnson

Pre-war: B18 felt Cobb

Post-war: Connie Mack AS Tris Speaker

Modern: 2004 Topps Signs of the Future auto Joey Votto

I have been in love with the B18 felts since I was a boy. I bought two in high school at an antique shop. The Cobb felt would just be a stunning addition to have in my cabinet. I think they present so cool as a diamond.

Mine would be a Rose company Sam Crawford Postcard

[clydepepper]

I've had several that I wanted for a long time. The only ones I really, really wanted but never got are:

1887 Kalamazoo Bats Denny Lyons.jpg1909 Cliff Blankenship Postcard.jpg

Mine would be a PC760 Rose Co. postcard of Tris Speaker. Beckett added it to their checklist in 1982, but I do not know anyone who has ever seen an image of it.

Jim Beckett was pretty meticulous about doing research at that time, so I am still holding out hope and think that there is a chance that the card exists.

If it does exist, it would be part of the "no team" additions that were done after their original 1908 set which consisted of 12 players for each of the 16 teams. All 12 Red Sox players are already known to exist, but the Rose Co. did update their set in late 1908 or 1909 with a few new subjects, so Speaker theoretically could exist.

[Danny Smith]

T206 plank would be my pick.

[Schlesinj]

1923-24 Tomas Gutierrez Oscar Charleston

I talk with Jim periodically, I'll ask him next time I do!

I'm close to finishing a 1948 Leaf set. I still need the Doby and Newhouser which are still somewhat affordable, so it's probably the Paige that I would want since I don't know if I'll ever be able to afford it.

[LeftHandedDane]

So many great selections so far! For me its the 1933 Goudey Lajoie.

[campyfan39]

52 Mantle has always been holy grail for me.
I have all the rest of his topps regular issues.

[Bobbycee]

Cobb Bat Off PSA 4. Let one pass me by about a year ago for $5,500. D'OH!
