Jay Miller would also be #1 on my list but I was fortunate to study it while collaborating on the OJ book. The book gave me great excuse to study and view some of the world's best private and public collections including the BB HOF (nice collection of N172s and even more impressive N173s) and Burdick's collection at the Met.
There are still many more collections I'd love the opportunity to view. I won't bring attention to several private collections but will name the Edward Wharton-Tigar collection in the British Museum, London as a must. Some day . . .

Mine are easy....
Today's list, the three M's I may be able to bribe my way into two of these gentleman's lairs...but even in then I think I'd have to deploy the of' candy gram for Mongo routine to make it past their gates.  Miller Macrae Masson From the past: Burdick Tigar Halper P.S. I've seen McKee's but honestly it's nothing since pops sold the Baltimore News Ruth's, besides it's all raw so none of it really exists.

Yet another one of the books I have yet to read is 'Smithsonian Baseball: Inside the World's Finest Private Collections' which includes a write up '19th-Century Memorabilia' by Corey R. Shanus and Net54's own Barry Sloate, but, regrettably, also includes a Bill Mastro contribution.
Speaking of Mastro's contribution, it would be fun to see Brian Seigel's collection while he still owned THE CARD. I think seeing Barry Halper's Collection in person would have been a great thrill. If you don't have one already, I would highly recommend getting of copy of his catalog from when he sold everything that wasn't donated to museums.
