Most Desired Card?

[Archive]

Posted By: Sean

If you had all the money in the world which card would you want to get?
Mine would be a 1903 E107 Caramel Honus Wagner!

The E107 Honus Wagner is a great card and would be near the top of my list as well. There are so many great cards out there that it is tough to choose, but I have narrowed it down to these three:

(1) Baltimore News Ruth

(2) E107 Wagner

(3) T210 Jackson

I too would take the Baltimore News Ruth. It is the first card of the most significant player ever.

T210 Jackson

Definitely the T210 Jackson for me as well...I was a bit surprised to see it mentioned this many times this early in the post.

My #1 card right now is an attractive, lower-grade N162 Kelly in an SGC holder.

I have simple tastes.

If I had unlimited funds to purchase baseball cards, these would be the cards I'd go after.

1952 Topps Mickey Mantle

1914 Baltimore News Babe Ruth

1914 Cracker Jack Shoeless Joe Jackson

1933 Goudey Nap Lajoie

And of course the T-206 Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank and the Sherry Magie error.

I would also have to add the T210 Jackson to this list as well. Forgot about that one.

last card i need...1914 CJ Joe Jackson


al, would this work?? (not for sale, sorry)

Any 1909 Clement Bros. Bread card. It would still be hard to beat out Olbermann.

How often does the Baltimore Ruth hit the market and what is the range of price they generally sell for?

The card I hope to own someday is the 1916 Sporting News Ruth.

Id have to check with Sean to determine which card this currently is.

Apparently there are only 9 known to exist. I found this auction for a PSA 1 from 2006

That's the one, Anthony. Beautiful card.

I know it sounds stupid, but I just love the stormclouds in the background of that card. The color is amazing to me. I mean, I know it's not a super-tough card, but it's just one I really want.

Maybe I'll find one in Cleveland.

Nice non-sports selections Jerry. The unknown guy who owns the only Srongman #4 has to pass it on eventually.

I add T64 Robert E Lee.

As a Brooklyn collector, first thing that comes to mind is that unique Maple Crispette Stengel.

I agree with you Eric - That card is on my list also.

Hey Sean! Great question and great thread! If I had all the money in the world I would like a pristine PSA10 Horner cabinet of Joe Wood. And I would wish very hard for a T3 Turkey Red of Smokey Joe, too, even though they never made one.

"Apparently there are only 9 known to exist. I found this auction for a PSA 1 from 2006

http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/site/bidplace.aspx?itemid=3582>"



REA also sold a blue version of this card in a PSA 2 this year. It represents the 10th claimed to exist:

http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/site/bidplace.aspx?itemid=8168>



Added, from the description:

"In 2004 Robert Edward Auctions offered the first-ever PSA-graded example of the 1914 Baltimore News Ruth with a minimum bid of $10,000. That card sold for $243,000 in Vg-Ex condition...

The first 1914 Baltimore Ruth to ever appear at auction (the card was previously unknown) sold in the late 1980s for $6,600 to legendary collector Jim Copeland. That card was sold with the rest of his collection at the famous Copeland auction in 1991, where it realized $18,700. Barry Halper's example sold at the famous Barry Halper auction in 1999 for $79,500. The Robert Edward Auctions' sale at $243,000 in 2005 more than tripled that record. The sale of a PSA 1 example of the red-and-white variety at $150,800 in 2006 was all the more noteworthy..."

Turner -

I like the Clement suggestion. It is annoying that you will have to beat Olberman even if he already has the card. Ugh.

I would like a Kalamazoo Bat Giant, but would settle for a Philadelphia player.
