Default Favorite Image on a Trading Card

Just thinking about my favorite images:

1) 1969-70 Topps Chamberlain - I love everything about this card, great player, great color, the headband, the blue satin jacket, the cocky expression, seems as if he's jumping right out of the oval and it's a tallboy.

2) 1933 Goudey Ott - Look at that mug. Enough said.

T3 Turkey Red Ty Cobb is the best image on any type of card.

I wish I still had mine...

That I own? Probably anything from the Red Heart series. Specifically this guy right here:


That I don't own? This entire series is beautiful but there's just something about Matty. Probably the movie star looks he had!

Tough to choose between these two...... I think the first one might be altered.

This is a Sophie's choice thread, there are so many great images I can't pick just one but here are pre-war, post-war, and Japanese cards I never get tired of looking at.

Default surprised no one has posted this one yet

The great Johnny Grubb in a classic Grubb pose.



Seriously though, this Grubb is pretty sharp.

I'm like a broken record on this one. It's been my favorite from the day I saw it for the first time. 1911 Zeenut Halla.

Mine is significantly trimmed, but still makes me smile every time I look at it. Eventually I'll upgrade it when the right one comes along.

I must really like this one because we've been together for 30 years (got it at the infamous 1991 Anaheim National).

Here are some of my favorite Baseball images on a sports card - the 1933 Goudey Charlie Gehringer. The 1911 T206 Home Run Baker, Elmer Valo's 1957 Topps and Eddie Stanky's 1952 Bowman and the 1950 Bowman Ferris Fain.

I feel like it kind of gets a bad rap, but the '54 Bowman Campy I think has a great and fitting portrait. He was in a lot of pain in '54, and it shows. That card won't win any "best image" contests, but I love it.

Here is the 1954 Bowman of Campanella pulled from the web...Roy does seem to be barely holding back a grimace.

Always loved how careworn his face looks. In my opinion, this is one card that looks better roughed up a bit, to match the wear on Satch
