Three Favorite Prewar Cards Under $500
 
1 Attachment(s)
What are your three favorite prewar cards in your collection with a value under $500 (approx. current value)? I'll start with mine.

Nice cards, Gary. That proves that you can get top tier HOFers for affordable prices every now and again. I have a w590 Ruth in an AUT as well that was ALSO under $500 that would qualify for this thread :)

Here are my 3, posted the first 2 a few times...$500!...hell these 3 don't even add up to $100! Nice topic.
1959T Musial - Card Ive owned the longest, first pre-1985 card ever purchased.
1957T Kaline - My Dad bought is 25 years ago at my urging for 50 cents b/c I knew he loved Kaline...it was a Christmas gift last year.

I have no idea about this card, so I'm just asking: Is that Babe Ruth really less than $500?

GregMitch34 06-22-2013 09:19 AM

Yes, a steal at maybe $400 (at least at the moment)

Three favorites
 
If this were three favorites under $50, I'd feel much better about posting. I love the B18 blankets (the blue one is my favorite, but I don't have a picture of it alone) and the waxed up beater I got for a couple dollars.

Hornsby is very undervalued in my opinion. I hope to add more of his cards in time. My one and only Rajah.

Good thread.

The Ducky Medwick - bought with my dad at a show in 1980 in Providence, RI as part of my birthday present.

The Dean -purchased with dad at the Roosevelt Hotel in about 1977.

Dad's not around anymore but the memories will always be!

Oh and the Terry I always just loved. There is no WAY you can win a staring contest against Bill.

Agree, and it hurts me as a Cubs fan to say so. Great card!

1929 Kashin Mel Ott

I really am attracted to the 1929 Kashin Publications set which features numerous Hall of Famers in action photos. They have lots of eye appeal, and are extremely affordable. My Mel Ott is perhaps the favorite prewar sub $500 card that I own.

my three favorite pre-war < $500:

square5000 06-24-2013 01:03 PM

Under $500
 
This is right down my alley! 99% of my cards are worth under $500, maybe even under $300.

Nice stuff, Derek.

Cool Obak Weaver, Peter, and any card with a "Wolf" on it is OK in my book! ;) :)

rhettyeakley 06-24-2013 07:13 PM

Is it me or does "Chicken" Wolf look like he is on a picnic AND trying to seduce you! (great image quality on that one despite the trim-job)
