Nice HOF style collection!
Are you intentionally also doing it 'type' card style, so that you don't repeat any issues across your collection?
And if so, was it a big decision to go 51' Mays and 52' Mantle? :p

If only I were that organized!;)
Not any specific type of collector.. I more or less just go for stuff that I like, and exclude nothing based on "rules". The cards posted are an accumulation over the years, first pick up being the Aaron around 1999-2000. (though there has been a spurt over the past 12-16 mths)

Bill/Dan- thanks both... And Mr Mays will always be in my top 5 Dan.

I could never pick five favorites, but here are five cards I really like that haven't been scanned in a long time

This Mark "The Bird" Fidrych rookie card was inside one of the first packs I ever opened.

And then the current "top 5" from my collection...

Unreal John!!! Especially that Delahanty. Nothing from the 1880s should be that clear.. Wow

MattyC 05-01-2014 11:38 PM
The contrast on that Ed is off the charts. Gorgeous piece.

John, those cards are the shiznit! That Gehrig is the next card I'll be working on after I have purchased by Walter Johnson replacement. It won't be quite as clean, of course, but I can't wait to hold that beauty in my hands!

Seriously, you guys, I just love this thread. These cards knock me out!

Kenny Cole 05-02-2014 12:01 AM
John,

I like my Delahanty pretty well. I like yours better. What a great photo!!! That's an awesome card. I'm glad you shared it. Best,

Kenny

wonkaticket 05-02-2014 12:03 AM
Thanks guys! Bill you can have the Gehrig on the weekends. ;)

Here's my fav 5 ports & action shots from my set.

Thanks Kenny, your Lloyd, Charleston & Mackey Aguilitas are off the charts…just amazing.

Kenny Cole 05-02-2014 12:17 AM
Thanks John. They are three of my five favorite cards. I'm not a set collector at all, but the Aguilitas Segundas set is the one exception. I'm a Cuban card guy and the Aguilitas are my favorite. I'm going to have to keep plugging to upgrade my set. Best,

Kenny

Really like the stories by all. I miss the real card shows that we use to have here in the Kentucky area, circa 80's-early 90's. There were 4-5 50+ dealer shows a year. Too many stories to tell from those, but all good times.
