Top 20 Most Sought After Cards of 19th Century
 

Greetings fellow collectors. I think it would be interesting to poll the top 20 most sought after cards of the 19th century. To start off my dream cards are 1887 N172 Anson in uniform, 1888 N172 Ed Delahanty batting, 1888 N172 Amos Rusie, 1887 N172 Sam Thompson,1895 N300 Mayo Kid Nichols. Look forward to some posts.

Just So Young, G & B Spalding, Peck & Snyder Cincy.........

We have done this before but it's always fun to see...in no particular order:

Four Base Hits Kelly
G and B Spalding
G and B Reach
Peck and Snyder 1869

Peck and Snyder Jim Creighton would be at the top of that list.

N167 Ewing.

Not rare, but a great looking card -- N162 Anson.

Besides all those already mentioned, I'd consider any NY Mets/Giants N690 KBats or N693 team KBats.

I'd put the N142 Ed Delahanty on the list.

Oh yea, and the N43 Buck Ewing.

In addition to the others, I would include:

86 MacIntire Studios Harry Wright
N690 Harry Wright
N690-1 Boston BBC
N173 Ewing & Mascot
