Keith Olbermann's 3 favorite t206 cards

[GregMitch34]

I've known Keith a little bit for the past decade, as I was on his MSNBC and then Current shows numerous times. Occasionally we got to talk a little about cards in the green room etc. Tonight on Twitter I asked him what his three favorite t206 cards were--based purely on aesthetics. At leas two of his choices surprised me. Care to guess what he might have chosen, knowing a bit about his collecting? Then I'll post his three picks.

going out on a limb, I`m guessing three lefties .

I'm guessing three cards that, "doesn't look trimmed to me"Dave.

Just looked it up on Twitter so I won't ruin it. Personally, my favorite T 206 based on aesthetics is the Lajoie bat on shoulder.

I dont know anything about his collecting...
How about Beals Becker, Dummy Taylor and Tinker Bat on?

I'd be shocked if Fred Merkle isn't one of the three.

Merkle, Wagner and Doyle

[Craig M]

Well for starters, Mr. Olbermann is the man because he is a T206 guy.

I would say his first favorite card is his Schulte (Chicago).

Second would be his Eddie Collins (batting) pose card.

Thirdly, I would say the Doyle (hands Above Head) NY Nat'l card.

Interesting, because these are also my favorite three.

Why does anybody really care what he thinks.

+1 I don't really care about his politics or what t206 cards he likes best.

Even within the Reds team I'd go with Lobert, Karger or Griffith (portrait) before these two:

I certainly agree with the second clause.

I think what some are missing is that if you have very little respect for someone, and they are a public figure, then you probably aren't going to give a shlt about their other views either, especially when it has to do with a hobby that you enjoy. To those of you who disagree with my statement - that's certainly your right, but it isn't going to change my thinking.

[Big Ben]

I like Keith and I think he is very good for the hobby. That being said, I disagree with his choices for aesthetic T206 cards. No big deal, I am sure people will disagree with my choices. The selections that people have made so far make for an interesting thread.

My selections:

1. Lajoie Bat on shoulder
2. Engle
3. Brownsfield
3B. McIntire

Does anyone know the favorite cards of Mother Teresa, Justin Bieber or Vanna White?

I'm obfuscated by the relevance of this thread.

If anyone of those people owned two (or three) Wagners I might be interested.

Mother Teresa = Sleepy Bill Burns
Justin Bieber = Chick Gandil
Vanna White = Hal Chase (Trophy)

They all like the bad boys.

I'm just happy to see a post with the word "obfuscated" in it. Touche' Frank!!
