Show your favorite card as of today.
 

I'd like to see what people consider their favorite card. It's ok if you post a couple as I know it's difficult to choose just one sometimes. If you are anything like me your favorite changes from time to time. Right now mine is the Fan Craze Jake Beckley. I like the old time look he is sporting and generally think it's a neat looking card.

I know this is a pre-war thread, and my current primary focus is pre-war, but I just can't let this card go. Cal always was, and always will be my favorite player, and nothing in my collection, regardless of value or significance, has ever been more important to me that his 1982 Topps Traded card.. It's also the first high dollar card I ever worked hard and saved money for as a kid. So to me, it also represents that change from a typical kid/teen's collection to a more serious adult collection.

It might be hard for me to pick my second favorite, but not my favorite.

Based off of sheer beauty & quality, not value. This one....

As a type collector, figuring out the most cherished (or liked) one is very difficult. Today this can be it....

Blank Back...
 

Blank Back Ellam :

The yellow just pops and the corners are crisp!! Is there a crease somewhere in there- how is this a 50/4??

Beautiful card!!!!

Agreed. How in the hell is that a 4?

gotta be this one over the '52 Mantle......and my E90 Jax RC is consigned right now so technically I don't own it anymore

Heck, I can't decide, but these are definitely at the top of the vintage class:

Now, turning away from rarity and value and towards pure sentiment:

The above was pulled from a pack when I was 11. I somehow kept it in nice shape through cross-country moves, earthquakes, burglaries, marriage and other tragedies.

Meeting a childhood idol can often be anticlimactic or even disappointing--Pete Rose and Willie Mays come to mind--but not Mr. Aaron; he was every bit the class act I hoped he would be. Remains my favorite player of all time.

And just because I can't stay away from non-baseball subjects:

Here's mine!! (today)
 

Baker, that is. Tinker was yesterday.

I've always loved that 76 Aaron card even though not a HUGE fan of Aaron (I like him) or the Brewers, and Hate the DH. Go Figure. Here's my favorite that is scanned.
OK, and a more recent one I really like.

In keeping with the theme of the board, this is my favorite pre-war.

HOWEVER, this is my favorite card ever made and finally got one last year.

Thanks for the props Justin & David. SGC claims a light surface chip on the reverse of the Lajoie portrait just above the letter "P" in Piedmont interferes with the parallel lines that run up word & shortens them ever so slightly. Talk about splitt'in hairs. I have never seen a nicer Lajoie portrait in any grade. If there was ever a card that screamed crack and re-submit to PSA this is it. :D

Until I land a nice T206 Chase w/ Loving Cup...
 

this is my favorite...

Bet it was tough narrowing it down to one, Joe. And who can blame you.

Nice choice Steve. Hoping to have one some day as well. :rolleyes:

yeah.... just one is tough!


that Boston Garter you posted is sweet! Love it!

Only One Graded...
 

Could this card possibly be the only one known? I doubt it, surely there must be another tucked away in someones personal collection. My favorite card!:)

Favorite? Yes and no
 

Not prewar, I know, but at least he played in the prewar era....

Collins ins SO UNDERATED
 

Eddie Collins' greatness is so underated in my opinion. For today at least, this is my favorite E98!

The Waite Hoyt signed E120 might be my fave currentlyAttachment 37303

My favorite T206 and the Coupon counterpart. (Speaker T206 my next fav from set)

This one is my current favorite

This is my favorite...
 

I've shown it a few times, but still one of my favorites!!! A 1923-24 Nip Winters La Moda backed Billiken issue...

Rube
 

Wow Jerry!!!

Holy Crap, is that card gorgeous...If I had that card, I'm pretty sure it might jump to the top of my list as well.
