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

i'll start......


T206 Wagner (not restored) :)

BN Ruth

T210 Jackson of course.

T206 Wagner.

restored white border wagner

hahaha
 

very funny Ronnie:D;)

sorry about my Wagner rant in the other thread:)

just one???? t206 wagner of course!!!!

cool
 

1988 Donruss #604 Newell , damn that was a toughie to ever find!

oh.....sorry, put the beer down......

a 1961 Fleer Carl Braun SIGNED card. That would complete my Signed 1961 Set!

Thanks!

Mike

One of the T206 Drums for my Providence team set.

Mine is pretty simple and not all that expensive. T206 Lundgren KC Carolina Brights. Otherwise, I'd go for the E107 Wagner.

An upgrade of my N162 Kelly...but not to replace all others I have collected, so I guess I'm not answering the question correctly.

...and that's the only upgrade I'm considering these days.

Very happy with what I have now.

I guess, when pushed, I'd like to add the Allegheny Wagner.

A signed 1953 Topps Howie Fox, though I’m starting to think Bill Norman might be tougher, as he was a high number and a coach.

wow
 

great responses so far..... very interesting:)

T206 Eddie Collins proof:


Attachment 337643

sean...
 

great pick! mr. keith is a lucky man:)

T206 Plank. It's not totally a pipe dream and can appreciate significantly in my opinion.

If I could only have one baseball card it would be a Four Base Hits Kelly.


.

T206 Wagner so I could sell it, buy a mid range centered 52 Topps Mantle and pocket the rest

Clean bright 1914 joe jackson. Grade not so important

That's a keeper! Is that a reprint of it?

these are
 

all great responses! I would love all of these:)

Joe Doyle N.Y. NAT'L HAH

1911 Zeenut Bohen.

Babes Ruth rookie

Old Judge Anson in Uniform

Last card on my bucket list is a signed T206 Cobb.

T206 Wagner

Johnny- you ate your Wheaties today, MrVPoster

High grade t3 Cobb.

Baltimore News Ruth for me. I guess one red and one blue would be nice since I can't decide on one or the other. lol

Pre War T210 Jackson
post war 1952 Topps Eddie Mathews
Modern 1981 TCMA Wade Boggs

As for overall favorite I have to cheap a little bit. My most prized possession by FAR is my 1990 Score Wade Boggs/Roger Clemens wrong back error. It is the only known error pair that I got directly from Score back in the day. I am not sure what the real value of the pair is but it would take a very large pile of cash for me to even consider parting with them.:)

PSA 10 1952 Topps Mantle

Baltimore News Ruth

1913 e137 PCL Zeenut Harry Heilmann

T205 Johnson Hindu back. Wasn’t in a position to buy it the last time it came up.

No brainer for me....a 1912 T227 card of race car driver David Bruce Brown to finish my set...started the set from cards given to me in 1985 and been looking for one ever since and have yet to ever see one in person...doubt I have another 30 years...lol

Good looking 1914 CJ Mathewson, expensive but available so there is hope.

wow...
 

very cool choices! I see some looking to get that last card in their set :)


Mike!

you and I have very similar taste:)

Very cool pick.

I hate to even say/admit this - I'd take a T206 Honus Wagner (not Heine). An N172 Anson in uniform would be a close second.

Nobody's going to say '81 Fleet Harold Baines? :)

Jim Cudworth Old Judge Worcesters. Or any of the Old Judge Worcesters.

A 2030 Topps Otis Mattsey Superfractor..

1949 Bowman Paige.

Baltimore News Ruth

1914 Boston Garter of WaJo. If not available, I'd take a Baltimore News Ruth over a T206 Honus every day of the week.

E90-1 Joe Jackson

Yes, there is only one original, and Keith Olbermann has it.

A unique pick, at any rate.

Hey Johnny, you know what I would do if I had Keith Olbermann money?
- Exactly what he's doing. :D

T206 Broadleaf 460 Marty dark cap.

Sean....
 

me too :D


great great picks so far

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.

T206 Wagner psa 8

1887 Topeka Golden Giants cabinet photo. Lost out twice on it☹️

E90-1 Tris Speaker

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

Brian

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.

1939 Father & Son Shoes Emmett Mueller.

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:

Highlander
 

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.

A Sharp Crisp 1933 Ruth
 

Would we have to pay any taxes? :D

This.

phenominal picks
 

goes to show how many true collectors we really have here!

hardcore I love it:)

my brother from another mother:eek:

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.
