Yes, I know that this is possibly subjective and a matter of taste - but it would be fun to hear what you guys think. It would be nice to be inspired for additions to my "want list", too

Which card is your favourite soccer card, by all means: rarity / importance / aesthetically pleasing etc. You don't need to own it. Maybe is a card you wish you had Which card is for you the "1986 Fleer Michael Jordan" of soccer?

I never tire of this one: 1968 Crack Pele from Argentina:

[Spartan833]

The card that I most want to own is Giuseppe Meazza RC and #2 is Ferenc Puskas RC


My favorite card that I own is:

One of the first two soccer cards ever made

I LOVE this Crack 68 Pele, you don't see these so often. I collect Pele mainly from 50s until 70s and this is an addition I would love to my collection

Spartan833: Which card is considered as Meazzas rookie? I guess the 1930s card(s)? I have the chance to get my hands on some of these, but I have no idea which publisher these come from. Do you know anything more? Here they are:



And what a nice Bassett card. Whole 118 years old, geez.

Keep them coming!

[Spartan833]

Great cards, but I don't consider any of those his RC. There is a Stagni Petazzoni. Looks like this, but Meazza

Yes, I have seen that one and it is actually in my want-list. Very hard to find, though...! Post it here for sure when / if you pick it up. Cheers!

Mine are these 2. Neither are in very good condition but they are pretty difficult to find at all.. So I'll take them in this condition.

Might not be vintage but it loks old.

Don't get me started.

I mean ... what kid wouldn't want a rookie card of "Death" or a picture of Jack Cock in Action.

Also couldn't resist adding some Matt Busby cards from the 1930's and a cool oval Stanley Matthews card.

Really cool cards. Eagles33, if you ever decide to sell / trade that Titulares #86, here you have your man! Keep me in mind

And here comes my favourite: in my opinion one of the most important soccer cards ever. My personal favourite from the 1958 Pele rookie cards, although I would love to get my hands on at least one from 1958 from Brazil and the 1958 V.A.V. card. This is the most recent addition to my collection - and I really love it, its really hard to find it in better condition. I have one more - as I wrote in another thread - for trade / sale.

1958 Alifabolaget #635 Pele .
Issued in Sweden where the World Cup was held. Presents a 17 years old Pele, at the time widely unknown. The youngest player of the tournament.



And as a bonus - one from my collection that I find totally subjectively aesthetically attractive, and rather rare too:

1964 Simon Chocolates Pele (Spain)
