Mid grade T210 Jackson. Close 2nd would be my 90 Leaf Frank Thomas.

There's a low grade T210 Jackson on eBay right now... and it's only $145,000 BIN. :eek::rolleyes::mad:

Ugh, if it's just one, I'll go with a mint Baltimore News Ruth.

I was also tempted to pick either the E107 Mathewson in street clothes, or the same pose found on a W600 cab, both jaw dropping cards.

Dream Card
 

My dream card to own would be a T206 Cobb with a Ty Cobb back. I actually got to hold one once at a dealer's table at a National years ago, actually he made me come behind the table to hold it! Don't blame him.:D

Gretzky Wagner and I won’t accept another

Prewar:
1923-4 Exhibit Babe Ruth

Postwar:
1964 Penafiel Koufax

Modern:
1993 SP Derek Jeter PSA 10

BN Ruth without a doubt. W600 Cobb would be second.

E90-1 Tris Speaker

You dreams can come true...there is one on BST right now.

Highest graded T204 Ramly Walter Johnson

If someone was giving me one free card of my choosing I'd obviously take the PSA 8 Wagner or psa 10 52 Mantle. But if I had to sell everything to buy 1 card I'd probably go with the nicest Ruth rookie I could afford. Or a 14 CJ Jackson.

Hey....
 

If I'm the Mike you are referring to, I'm flattered. If not......well then......I'm guess I'm just fatter (than I was ten years ago!) :) hahahah

Take care Mrvster,

Peace, Mike :cool:

Either a Chesbro or a Keeler e107 for my type/team Yankee collection !

I need the right Speaker.

If money's not an object I'd take the top one. In the realm of things I could maybe afford but might have to wait a very long time for, the bottom one.

Would we have to pay any taxes? :D

mindreader!


I might add the Wagner scrap:)

1914 Baltimore News Ruth (not picky about either color) :D

distant second would be any of the early 1890s Cy Young Cabinets (again, not picky about which one)...

OMG! Planks missing color are soooooo 2009. :rolleyes:

Definitely a 1914/15 CJ cobb

It would be easy to say the Wagner or a '52 Mantle but if I'm being honest I would probably go for a really ridiculously high-grade 1914 Cracker Jack Cobb or Jackson. Those cards are so beautiful. Ah well, seeing as my wife is going to be loathe to let me take out a 2nd mortgage on our house to pay for a single baseball card anytime in the next 40-50 years...back to reality I guess. :p

Mike
 

Yes you have taste like mine:)


great choices!

I wouldn't mind a BN ruth either:)

If I could have any one card, I would want it to be something unique, something I wouldn't just be able to buy if I had the money. Lets face it, if you hit the lottery you could have a T206 Wagner or PSA 8 (or possibly higher) 52 Topps Mantle by the end of the week. A BN Ruth might fit my criteria, but has never really appealed to me, so would probably take the Just So Cy Young.

Clint-I have two copies of Golden Giants cabinets. One strangely has an image of a battlefield on the back. I might free one up (oldjudge@gmail.com) for the right deal.

Jay that would be great if we could work out a deal. I’ll email you once I get home from work. Very much appreciated!!

The 1915 SGC 8.5 that PWCC had? Yes. Good grief that card was sick...:cool:

I believe that Jeff L. owns an even better one. :eek:

I would love
 

to see someone get a piece they have always wanted from this thread:)

A 1926 Spalding Champions Babe Ruth. My Back up is a 1913 Garter Larry Doyle...Hey, dream big right!

I see a T210 Authenic Altered the guy wants $145K for. Good grief, Charlie Brown...

This would be my question, are we only allowed to own 1 baseball card or are we adding 1 card to our collection? If I could own only 1 card, it would be t206 Wagner. If we are adding 1 card, it would be the Baltimore News Ruth.

The most expensive card in the world (at any given time) so I could pay off my house, give the kids full boat to a good college and retire to buy and sell more cards just for fun! Oh, and move somewhere when it never gets colder than 70 degrees and almost never rains (continental US only).
That's not asking too much is it? ;)

If you could own one baseball card, what would it be?
 

Hey Johnny V

Your question here is somewhat unclear.

Anyhow, for 30+ years my ultimate goal was to acquire a T206 Plank. Especially, when I attained 467 cards in my all-SWEET CAPORAL Factory #30 set,
which comprises of 469 cards. I searched for a Plank with a tough to find SWEET CAP 150 Factory #30 back. Also, one that would be consistent with the
overall grade (Vg-Ex) of the 467 cards in this set. I'm happy to say that this story has a happy ending.

T206 Reference

Great card, Ted. Why is it an A? Does the back have some kind of residue on it?

btw, I guess if I could have one card it might be a BN Ruth...or a few others :)

A W572 Barbare. Then at least I know it actually exists. (W572 Duncan would be second - but SGC graded one, so I assume they got it right and the card exists).

Ted!
 

I was so glad when you got that!:)


I'm talking about a card you don't already have....the dream card.....the card that seems pretty much out of reach either through rarity, cost, ect...

example Balty Ruth, 206 Wagner, Doyle National, psa 10 mantle...

So many good options here. But most of them would require that I follow up the getting of this dream card with an investment in storage, security, and insurance. With that in mind, if I could only have one card, I'd like to get the same Alan Trammell/Paul Molitor 1978 Topps Rookies card I had when I was a kid. I sold it in 1993ish and have since gotten another one that might even be in better condition, but it would be fun to have that original one I owned as my one card.
