I am like Stache, my favorites are my favorites due to my love of the hobby and the memories it gives me from my childhood or my son.

"Keating Candy" Eddie Collins: Inspired by my son and my collection of 1919 Black Sox.

E102 Otto Knabe: I bought this card as pre teen. Didnt know what the heck it was, just that it looked like a T-Card. I didnt find out what it was until 2011 when i got back into cards and found out it is kind of rare.

Another "find" when i got back into collecting. Brooks was one of my top 3 favs of all time and i bought this as a pre teen. When i got back into cards in 2011, i noticed it was in incredible condition. BTW, if i sent this to SGC, what would it grade out as in your opinion?

BONUS:
THis is my all time favorite card. Reason is, i did not have much time with my Grandpa on my Mothers side, as he lived about an hour away, and when we did visit, he was so busy with his work. He was a "grumpy ole fart" and kind of scared me even. But one day, he needed to go to the store (small town on New Strawn, Ks.) and he asked me to come along. I was scared, but really wanted a pack of cards, so i asked. He actually said YES!!! This card, with the "cool" look that stuck in my head was in it. I will always treasure this card because of the story :-)
