Mine doesn't fit in with your beautiful and rare cards. When I was 9 the Pirates were my team, Clemente was my favorite, and he led them to a World Series win. Any 9 year old would love Aaron and Mays, so when I got older this card was an easy card to love. It's not pre-war and even though I collect pre-war this card is "rare" enough that it's not everywhere and not everybody has one.

My favorite card that I don't have is a 1958 Kahn's Clemente. I would probably give up all my cards to have one.

POP on this in all grades is 67. POP of the regular topps card in all grades is about 1800.

That Clemente/Aaron/Mays Venezuela is amazing!

These first two mean the most to me sentimentally. I'd keep them even if I sold everything else. And then the Young is the card that gives me the biggest rush when I look at it.

Not the best copy known to man, but I proudly own it, thanks to Luke on net54!

The T206 Matty portrait is my favorite. T206 Matty white cap would be my most desired, with a Wajo portrait closely behind, and then a Speaker.

One day I'll make it happen...until then, I cherish my banged up Mathewson!

I love the pose, and the card means even more to me because it came from the collection of a dear friend of mine.

They are not my most expensive or my most sentimental cards, but I just can't get over their beauty. These would likely be the last 2 cards I will ever part with.

It's so hard to whittle it down to just one or two. But these would be among my choices.

T206 Red Cobb - It took me many years to find a red Cobb that had centering, color and registration that fit my criteria. It was worth the wait.

Bond Bread Jackie - Such an iconic card with an interesting history which I figure has more to be discovered. So lucky I bought it when I did.

..The more I look at this guy the more I like the card. ; It's also a pre-war thick-stock Wheaties Premium from "The Jack Armstrong The All-American Boy Radio Program" , from the same set as my Joe D. in the very recent " Dimaggio favorite " thread.

If I could pick one card in the hobby to go back in time and purchase it would be a sporting new ruth. Amazing card.

I know that you’re a big fan of centering. When it comes to a card like this, how do you evaluate centering? In particular, it seems like the upper black line slants upwards as it moves across from left to right. Not sure if this is just an optical illusion that I’m seeing, but would be interested in your thoughts about whether the top/bottom centering should be measured on the left side, the right side, or in the middle.

Hey Raulus, on the 52 Jackie specifically, they all have that uneven top boarder, it's part of the design on that card. Any copy in which the bottom inner image is parallel with the bottom edge of the card, the top inner image is always uneven like that.

Great cards!

Andy, I used to own that Murphy BL 460. Really nice example. I was just saying to another advanced T206 collector, I think the really tough rare backs (Uzit, Drum, BL 460) have pretty much dried up; don't see them for sale too often these days. Enjoy the card!
