I'd like to see what people consider their favorite card. It's ok if you post a couple as I know it's difficult to choose just one sometimes. If you are anything like me your favorite changes from time to time. Right now mine is the Fan Craze Jake Beckley. I like the old time look he is sporting and generally think it's a neat looking card.

I know this is a pre-war thread, and my current primary focus is pre-war, but I just can't let this card go. Cal always was, and always will be my favorite player, and nothing in my collection, regardless of value or significance, has ever been more important to me that his 1982 Topps Traded card.. It's also the first high dollar card I ever worked hard and saved money for as a kid. So to me, it also represents that change from a typical kid/teen's collection to a more serious adult collection.

It might be hard for me to pick my second favorite, but not my favorite.

Based off of sheer beauty & quality, not value. This one....

As a type collector, figuring out the most cherished (or liked) one is very difficult. Today this can be it....

Heck, I can't decide, but these are definitely at the top of the vintage class:

I somehow kept it in nice shape through cross-country moves, earthquakes, burglaries, marriage and other tragedies. http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...size/Aaron.jpg Meeting a childhood idol can often be anticlimactic or even disappointing--Pete Rose and Willie Mays come to mind--but not Mr. Aaron; he was every bit the class act I hoped he would be. Remains my favorite player of all time. And just because I can't stay away from non-baseball subjects: http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...%20Shatner.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...ng%20Fists.jpg |

OK, and a more recent one I really like. |
In keeping with the theme of the board, this is my favorite pre-war.
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...4greenberg.jpg HOWEVER, this is my favorite card ever made and finally got one last year. http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...ge/53Reese.jpg |
Thanks for the props Justin & David. SGC claims a light surface chip on the reverse of the Lajoie portrait just above the letter "P" in Piedmont interferes with the parallel lines that run up word & shortens them ever so slightly. Talk about splitt'in hairs. I have never seen a nicer Lajoie portrait in any grade. If there was ever a card that screamed crack and re-submit to PSA this is it. :D

My first vintage card

This was my first vintage purchase. I've been hooked ever since.
I hope everyone had a great holiday! Tony |

Bet it was tough narrowing it down to one, Joe. And who can blame you.

Only One Graded...
Could this card possibly be the only one known? I doubt it, surely there must be another tucked away in someones personal collection. My favorite card!:)

Favorite? Yes and no

Surprised me greatly to get a 9. But PSA giveth, and PSA taketh away ... Sometimes I think they do it for fun. The higher the grade, the more likely they are to find the card miscut or off center.

Not prewar, I know, but at least he played in the prewar era....
