C'mon Phil! Those are really your top 10??? You've got nicer stuff than that in your collection! This is in the pre-war space, so give us your best...none of that post-war stuff!!

Well - my top 10 isn't exactly the most diverse - but enjoy! Love the thread idea Matt (BTW - one of my 9th grade students must tell me everyday that his favorite movie of all time is Paid in Full!)

great jackie robinson bb's...a few of those poses I had not seen...apparently neither had PSA!!!!

great catch!! At least they were in order on the submission (only one digit different & with the same grade)...so it looks like they simply put the wrong card in each holder...now CharleyBrown will have to keep them together so in aggregate, it all works!

fun Thread
 

Here are my top 10 favorites from my collection. (In all honesty my sliding Billy Hamilton cabinet would probably take the place of Alex but it's not available right now. don't tell Alex) Top ten to me means what cards 'do I like the most' - some have big value some smaller and some bring back memories of my dad who bought me cards when I was a kid.

I think after I post I'll scroll down from the top again to see everyone's beautiful cards. Thanks for asking so I have reason to pull them together and scan them. -peter

Great cards Pete, you know I'd love any one of those CJ's you picked up as a kid...didn't know you had that 1869 P/S card, what a beauty! Too bad each of us didn't wind up with another card to put in this group, maybe next time!

This is an awesome thread! Some really beautiful and valuable cards. I know this is more on memorabilia side but wanted to share anyway (hope that's ok). Here are my 7 all related to Creighton ranging in dates from 1860 to 2013. FWIW, I do have another project that I'm working on that is card related and interestingly enough will get me to 10 items :D

Thanks, Derek. I wanted to try to stick with some sort of theme so I figured post-war rookie cards (I did not want to start the same thread on the post-war side so thought I would just stick them in here). :)

My top 10...

great stuff, Chris!!!

+1

Agreed, that group rocks, Chris.

Chris- I think you got that Yum Yum from me.

If You Asked Me Today,........I Think

Truly amazing collection of Cobbs, Jeff.

Agreed, gorgeous.

Scan quality sucks, which is both frustrating and a long story. In any event, I'm going to have to re-scan pretty much all of my cards (again) with my Cano Scan. That being said, here's mine.

Thank you, fellas.

Love EM&R Kenny. Awesome aguilitas!!!

Thanks Al

You should post your stuff. I love to look at your Punch cards. They blow pretty much everything else away. Please post some!!! They make the "hard" to get cards look easy. Best,

Kenny

Great thread & great cards everyone! Jeff, I'm glad you don't (seem to) focus on WaJo cards! Speaking of WaJo, all my WaJo cards are tops (with me, anyway!), so I'll show these 10 WaJos, each made from a different real photo (which I prefer over artist-rendition cards):

Going with pictures instead of cards:

Thanks for the kind words everyone - Barry you are right; the Yum Yum Welch did come from one of your auctions!

That Joe D WWG is one of my favorites-- a very slept-on toughie.

And what a fantastic card of Ruth and Gehrig leaning on their bats up above!

Really cool to see all these windows into various collections.

Mark - I have always loved your collection and the way you set up your website!! Probably the best collection website in the hobby.

You definitely have 10-20 cards on my "must-have" list....problem is, for at least 3 of them, I've never seen another example...

Here's my favorite group of ten Negro/Winter Leagues team postcards.............

Great Walters, Val, and I know you have many more great ones. What a terrific thread!

My top 10.

Nice, Clint.

Uh Clint - I assume you and Hank and Val have had some conversations about all things WaJo? :)

Clint, great WaJo PCs! I never tire of seeing them!
Val

Thanks guys. Val your collection is top notch. Love the Holland and Texas Tommy cards.

Pete, yep we've had a couple conversations. Val and Hank are two of the best in the hobby.

Being married to a KS farm girl, I appreciate your devotion to legendary Kansans. Just imagine if Smokey Joe could have pitched as long as WaJo, and faced him a couple dozen more times. Great pics

Amazing collection, Clint. Humboldt's just applied for a Smithsonian local history exhibit grant for 2015, and I told them I would help. If they get it, we'll be coming for your Walters to put on display!

Amazing stuff Phil and Clint!!!

Phil Garry Collection
 

Phil - that's more like it!!!

I didn't know that you ended up getting the Page Fence Giants Ad Card after all. And the c1908 Leland Giants Team PC is probably one of the best PCs in the hobby!!

Wow

Quite a bunch of stuff.

First 5 of the top 10 Speaker cards from my collection:

And the next 5 of the top 10:

Bosox Blair - Gorgeous Speakers!! I love the sharp corners on your Novelty Cutlery!!

Thanks, Derek! That one has quickly become a fave of mine, even though I don't usually collect postcards.

Cheers,
Blair

Great Speaker collection.

Thanks, Jeff! Your Cobbs are incredible...some of them I never see except in your collection.

Cheers,
Blair

As a general comment, I'm blown away by many of the Top Tens shown in this thread - amazing stuff :eek:!

Cheers,
Blair

Thanks! I think it shouldn't be understated how rare it is to find the Mino and Kotton and Mendelsohn cards you have in such great condition. I don't know that I've ever seen such fine examples of any of these cards, let alone of one HOF player in one collection.
