Cards you like to show

[atx840]

For me it's all about seeing the cardboard. Would love to see your favorite, nicest, worst, rarest...whatever it is let's see some cards.

[t206fix]

Honus wants to be first...

[Leon]

Not sure you can get a better Cobby but you can get other different and great poses...

No offense, Tony, but what was SGC looking at when they graded that card? They do realize that the corners were square when the card was issued and not round, correct? How could they give it anything other than a 1 or possibly even a 1.5, giving them the benefit of the doubt?

Maybe it was that $50 bill I taped to his back...

...Top two are Worch Cigar Premiums from 1933 ; bottom two are postcards from 1937-40 ; Joltin' Joe is from the Orcajo set ; Hammerin' Hank is from the Burke RPPC set from the late thirties... all four spent their lives in scrapbooks..

...sometimes ya juss gets lucky.......

lol, Tony. I thought maybe the centering helped them out...........

My favorites from my favorite set:

[Laxcat]

I think the Peckinpaugh qualifies as the rarest and the worst in my collection. I could only find info on 3 graded copies. But maybe I was doing it wrong.
The Caramel Cobb is my nicest. The Sporting News is my favorite. The last two took forever to find. I know they aren't pre-war. Still some of my favorites.

Luke, that Cobb is awesome.

[packs]

Loose definition of card but I rarely get to show this one off. Here's a 1903 Carl Horner of Monty Beville. He's wearing the first ever Yankees uniform and was a member of their inaugural squad. Might as well throw in a Bob Ewing for good measure:

Whenever I come across this pic it puts a smile on my face, probably my three favourites.

[Tyler]

[DeanH3]

This one has always been a favorite of mine. Love the pose.

[Sean]

I think that this is the nicest looking card in the T206 set:

Yesterday was the 100th anniversary of Babe Ruth's first home run in the majors, so here's to the Babe:

Love the Joss photo, Tyler...

Here's a few of my favorites

[Epps]

Great cards everyone. Two elusive ones of guys from the 1919 World Series

Here is one of my favorite scans from a few years ago when I was trying to put 345 Old Judge cards in alphabetical order. I had to stop and step back to take a picture because it looked pretty cool laid out like that.

Sean,

Not when it is mine!

Here's a couple of my rarest mellos:

Cards I love to show.....

[DHogan]

My favorite. It isn't much. But it always makes me smile.

[pawpawdiv9]

Being mainly post-war i love these LEAFS:


Here is the other, despite the wear, its pretty hard to come by


My only pre-war card i have currently and i showed it before.
Its my 1st Cobb, it was unique with double names top/bottom, and 'raw' making this a great buy.
Hope to add a few more pre-war cards in near future


Foremost, the 'cream of my crop' and the 'white whale' is my 52 Mick, which i proudly display as my avatar

[bnorth]

This is one of my favorites.

Hard to decide

[1963Topps Set]

Is Cobb actually cracking a smile on that coin or is the wrong player shown?

Better scan Pinkerton Blank Back and Wally Yonamine

[sycks22]

Love this Twig and Goudey Feller

Two "cards," two Indians, two HOFers

[Mikehealer]

These kind of threads are my favorite, love seeing everyone's favorites.

[mrvster]

a great thread! wow! what eye candy here.....of course I love the scrap, but the other pieces are great ....

I will post a few in a little......

[68Hawk]

If it weren't for the stories and the people - like Shoeless Joe, baseball would be too one-note for my liking......capturing his image either during or close to the black sox scandal.

[Cerberus]

.......of all my unopened tobacco packs, this is of course my only one where the card actually shows. Love to show it:

[frohme]

Donnelly was the last card I needed for the set, became my avatar, and through the help of others on the board, finally found a new home.

Ironic how much the two players didn't get along

[Kenny Cole]

Some of the Cubans I like.

[wonkaticket]

Kenny amazing, just amazing!!

[leaflover]

Here's my favorite. Paid way over SMR....just had to have it!

[margoaepi]

Love these four. Have them hanging in a custom display in my office.

[mrvster]

Krause / knight front ghost.....Thanks to Tim C for the decipher.....and Adam

[MattyC]

Amazing stuff here; this thread is like a cardboard museum...

Some personal Pre-War favorites with The Mick...

[bcbgcbrcb]

Kenny:

Some of those Billiken cards appear to have black borders, never seen them before. Or are they part of the background that SGC has inserted to keep the card from moving?

[Kenny Cole]

Thanks John. I appreciate it.

Phil, all of the Billikens are standard - none have black borders. It must be the insert that is giving that illusion.

Kenny

[bcbgcbrcb]

Thought so, thanks for the clarification, Kenny.
