Mike (18colt)My top 5 I collect/have collected (not all vintage):
1) T-206 (80% complete, and like some others, low, low, low, low, low, non-investment grade cards -- shameless plug -> looking to trade my dups)
2) T-3 (just started these this year - plan to mount and frame these)
3) E-96 (the red print player listing on the back sets them apart from other E-cards, in my opinion, and it's somewhat easy to obtain).
4) 1963 Fleer (years after I collected all of the others, I finally found the dreaded checklist - unmarked!)
5) 1954 Topps (from my dad's youth - with no Mantle, it was easy for me to collect on an allowance in the 1980s).
Honorable mention: 1968 Topps Game (because, as with the 1954 Topps set, I could buy it with my allowance as a kid), 1951 Bowman, 1954 Bowman, 1955 Topps, 1956 Topps, 1941 Play Ball, 1982 Topps, 1985 Topps, 1984 Donruss, 1983 Topps Glossy (you had to send away for these), and 1986 Sportflics.
Thanks for the great thread!
