Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>Steve,'<br /><br />My favorite completed set is the '57 Topps all raw and ungraded. My favorite prewar is my '33 Goudey Mel Ott with bat. This is a real beater but most of the red surrounding Mel Ott and the bat is intact. Also, all the printing is legible on the back of the card.<br /><br />I'm a real Giants fan and this was my first '33 Goudey. It would be a waste of time and money to get PSA to grade this card. It would be the first PSA card to grade .5 lol. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Peter

Posted By: <b>Eric Brehm</b><p>My pre-WWII cards are all T206 HOFers and 1933 Goudeys. From the Goudey set I think the purple background Charlie Gehringer card is one of the prettiest; cmoking posted an image of it earlier. From the T206's, one of my favorites is the Ed Walsh portrait. Not really sure why, it just seems to capture the essence of the period and the card set:<br /><br /><img src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r143/ebrehm1/scan150Walshpsa5.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Kevin Saucier</b><p>&lt;"That Olympic & Titanic card is gorgeous. Total color from edge to edge. Is everything in that set the same way? And are they expensive?"&gt;<br />It looks even better in person. It's the only trade card that shows the Titanic "before" it sunk and is a regular issue set of one.<br /><br />Some would argue that they are not rare but I only found a dozen last year on ebay and only two so far this year. Beaters (grade level 1 or 2), which are almost all of them, sell from around $40 - $150 raw. So far it hasn't really hit our hobby yet...but it's very poular with Titanic collectors who often consider rounded corners with no paper loss or creases as high grade. <br /><br />The SGC 5.5 above, is "by far" the best I have seen and has an insured appraisal value of $8,000. It will soon be on the way to the Branson, MO Titanic museum.<br /><br />Kevin

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>Kevin,<br /><br />Thanks much for the response. What ebay category would it be in? <br /><br />I think the card is just mezmerizing. It's so different from what I am used to seeing, and I love that it is so colorful but still subtle, and with no borders.<br /><br />Very, very nice card. Good for you for being able to own such a nice example. What a thrill that must be.<br /><br />Joann<br /><br />Edited to remove questions about other cards in the set, as I just reread Kevin's post.

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>Whats really cool about that card is -<br />and I'm not sure how they knew this when they printed 100 years ago...<br /><br />if you zoom in on the front of the ship...<br /><br /><img src="http://www.internetville.com/stuff/titanic.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br />(seriously - with my silly attempt at humor aside... that is a really cool card, and an awesome piece of history - thanks for sharing.)

Posted By: <b>Kevin Saucier</b><p>The card really is stunning.<br /><br />It has everything a collector is looking for; scarcity, value, mystique, attractiveness, tragedy, fame in addition to having a well documented and known subject matter. Titanic is so famous, the name is used to define an era in time.<br /><br />Unfortunately it’s a British card which is probably why it hasn’t hit it big in our hobby or have catastrophic value. <br /><br />I’ve always thought that this card has the potential to be "The Card" of non-sports...in other words, have higher profile than Horrors of War Hitler.<br /><br />The movie reference / pic above is hilarious!<br />_________________________________________________ ____________<br /><br />Here is my favorite baseball card:<br /><br /><img src="http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s139/only_child/t206shappe.jpg"><br /><br /><br />
