Posted By: <b>Brett</b><p>My favourites are : e94 Wagner, e94 Young and E98 Mathewson. I only have one, so I have to say this one....<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1174448201.JPG"> <br /><br />I was also suppose to be getting a e98 PSA 1 Mathewson orange background. The seller and I had an agreement on the price, but he never returned my e-mails.. so I guess he didn't want to sell <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Dylan</b><p>Deleted previous scan for Dan Kravit...<br />My most favorite cards are yet to find their way into my collection, but I am excited for this to arrive in the mail! I've always liked the Hindu backs and Scott Elkins informs me that the Hindu Lindaman is the toughest back that can be found for his card. I am also very fond of my expanding collection of T206 backs and Ecards.<br /><a href="http://img69.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hindufrontbd1th1ad1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/3583/hindufrontbd1th1ad1.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Uploaded by ImageShack Toolbar" title="Image Uploaded by ImageShack Toolbar" /></a><br /><a href="http://img69.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hindubkbx0th2qy6.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9102/hindubkbx0th2qy6.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Uploaded by ImageShack Toolbar" title="Image Uploaded by ImageShack Toolbar" /></a>

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Jim, I was thinking the same thing when looking at that E93 Matty. That is far and away my favorite Matty card, my favorite E93 and yours is the best example I've ever seen. That card just blows me away.

Posted By: <b>Dylan</b><p>Well all Leons post said was post your absolute favorite card, nothing was stated in his post that i had to own it. I make no claim to ownership of the D359 Bender. <br /><br />...I just went through and read the rest of the thread and see that Leon, in a later post, stated to post cards of personal ownership. I dont always read the dozens of threads everyone posts before posting myself, esp. on "monthly pickup" threads or simaler threads like this. Take a chill pill bro, I like the card, thats all.

Posted By: <b>DMcD</b><p>Very difficult to pick just one but this '34 Goudey Gehrig gets the nod. Gehrig lives and breathes on this card.<br /><br />A corollary thread might be "Your absolute favorite card that belongs to someone else." Also very difficult to pick just one but for me Joe D.'s Giants postcard is the winner. The players are in their athletic prime, Matty and Taylor look like big kids. You gotta love it!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/Gehrig/34Goudey_Gehrig_autog.JPG"><br /><br />edited: Taylor for Hoy. Anything is possible if you don't know what you're talking about.

Posted By: <b>Cat</b><p>Matt:<br /><br />Glad to see you post that card. I got in a bit of a discussion [argument] with a board member that the Pete Hill card was owned by another board member "who does not post a great deal" but didn't want to out you personally since I couldn't remember if you had shared that card with me privately or on the board (kind of thought privately but my memory is so crappy and I wanted to error on the side of caution and privacy).<br /><br />Very important card in my view too.

Posted By: <b>E, Daniel</b><p>After getting married we weren't exactly flush - but nonetheless I had worked hard to find a quality diamond for my precious gal's finger....So around a year later I was breathing heavy over a scan of this card while perched at my desktop, wistful but not wishful. She walked up behind me, sensed my greater than usual interest, asked if it was a card I really wanted, and responded to my starting protestations (somewhat half-hearted <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>): "It can be YOUR diamond ring".<br />I'll love her forever for being such a generous soul.<br /><br />Daniel<br /><br />Ps. And its even prettier in hand, deep deep blue background and super focus, I recommend one to everyone!<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1174616135.JPG">
