Back To Basics. What is One Card You would like to have that you do not have

[mrreality68]

Hi Everyone,

WE have had alot of great threads recently. About AI, Auctions Houses, PSA, and so much more
Some Positive Some Negative and some WOW

I would like to Get Back to Basics for at Least One Thread.

I Love Seeing Photo's of Cards

What is the one that you would like to have that you do not own

THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE

There is no requirements, no budget, just what could would you like to have

Posting pictures is Fine

I am a Joe Jackson Nut so This is my card I would love to own

[parkplace33]

I really want a 1953 Topps Paige. That is my next big pickup.

[puckpaul]

No explanation needed…..

[MuncieNolePAZ]

I know that the Drum and BL460 Red Portraits are much rarer (probably a couple more as well), but this is my all-time dream card that I will never own.

1924 Diaz Cigarettes Guy Morton



Once I pull him off I just have to talk someone into selling me the 8th card

[Casey2296]

This one would be fun to own.

Hard to pick just one so I have four.
A E-107 Beckley, Gehrig 1925 Exhibit card, 1948 Leaf Feller and Paige.

[Luke]

Broad Leaf 350 Speaker for me

Same pipe dream.

[JCM2009]

1949 Bowman Satchell Paige. A must for any serious Tribe collector who has $3K+ to spend on a baseball card. I'll buy Leroy's card one of these days....

[Exhibitman]

Attainable, though I would prefer to trade into it than buy it. The unattainable is always a T206 Wagner.

[Ricky]

My dream card that I’ll never own is a CJ Cobb.

Me too, had a contact at a card shoe in the 90’s. He said he had this card, gave me his phone #, called many times, never answered. Deal never happened. Lol. Never saw him again. Joe. PS, I could have afforded it then, not now.

Man that would be a tough pill to swallow. Sorry to hear.

1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #181 for me. I'll buy one someday. Hopefully sooner than later.

[commishbob]

No doubt (among PreWar cards) this one. It's a card I doubt I'll ever own. But I can hope anyway.

My post war most wanted is much more attainable, Billy Pierce's '59 Bazooka card. I've come close on a few in the past. Now with a brand new grandbaby (our first with a second to come in October) I have a hard time justifying money for big ticket cards that should go to spoiling grandchildren!

[BCauley]

T206 Walter Johnson portrait. Had it at one point and hope to have it back in my collection within the next year.

As a t206 collector

[Jdoggs]

T206 Wagner psa 8

[Seven]

51 Bowman Mickey Mantle.

I regret passing on one before the Covid Boom every day.

[TigerMike]

I have the same regret about the 51B Mantle. But I'd have to say the 14 CJ Mathewson.

[Kidnapped18]

1914 Cracker Jack (E-145) #88 Christy Mathewson

[CobbSpikedMe]

I've always loved this card and would choose it if I could have any one card for my collection.

T206: Johnson

Pre-war: B18 felt Cobb

Post-war: Connie Mack AS Tris Speaker

Modern: 2004 Topps Signs of the Future auto Joey Votto

I have been in love with the B18 felts since I was a boy. I bought two in high school at an antique shop. The Cobb felt would just be a stunning addition to have in my cabinet. I think they present so cool as a diamond.

Mine would be a Rose company Sam Crawford Postcard

[clydepepper]

I've had several that I wanted for a long time. The only ones I really, really wanted but never got are:

Moonlight Graham Rose Postcard.jpg

1937 OPC - Bob Feller.jpg1911 SPORTING LIFE M116 SMOKEY JOE WOOD.jpg

1887 Kalamazoo Bats Denny Lyons.jpg1909 Cliff Blankenship Postcard.jpg

[Baseball Rarities]

Mine would be a PC760 Rose Co. postcard of Tris Speaker. Beckett added it to their checklist in 1982, but I do not know anyone who has ever seen an image of it.

Jim Beckett was pretty meticulous about doing research at that time, so I am still holding out hope and think that there is a chance that the card exists.

If it does exist, it would be part of the "no team" additions that were done after their original 1908 set which consisted of 12 players for each of the 16 teams. All 12 Red Sox players are already known to exist, but the Rose Co. did update their set in late 1908 or 1909 with a few new subjects, so Speaker theoretically could exist.

I talk with Jim periodically, I'll ask him next time I do!

[LeftHandedDane]

So many great selections so far! For me its the 1933 Goudey Lajoie.
