My favorite is the Diamond Star Greenberg. It is the first vintage card i ever saw and bought in 1989 at a local card show in NY (first card below). I had collected cards as a kid in the early 70’s but never knew about the broader hobby. Aside from being a cool-looking card of a historically great athlete, looking so boyish and earnest, it drew me to the culture of past days and history which i love about vintage collectibles. I have picked up a few more as i just like collecting that card.
