I choose the Ruth! I like that card!

The 1953 Topps Mays autograph was obtained by my grandfather sometime in the early 1950's in Milwaukee, WI. He claims it was his rookie year...he's 91 now so I'll give him a pass on that one. The Wagner is a recent addition and downgrade from a PSA 5 that I sold late last year. Still very pleased to own this one

This is my grail...

These are mine. A toss up between them

Leslie's woodcut. This one is awesome condition. This actual photo of it has been used in quite a few articles, including by John Thorn

My most prized possession is not a card but a 1987 Keith Hernandez game used jersey

Although not very valuable, one of my favorites given to me as a kid and it takes me back to the good old real NFL days.

To this day, I remember pulling Tarkenton from the year previous to this one. I bought the pack at a grocery store that was quite a distance from home, and I remember beaming from ear to ear all the way home. I was always a Tarkenton fan - very, very unique for his day.

That card takes me back also...

The days of Fran Tarkenton, Homer Jones, etc.

Nice.

I"m with you Bob. Nothing beats those years of skating and 80s cards for me.

[dwightclarkJ]

1980s most incredible decade ever!

One of my first cards and intro into hobby.

I've really gotten into the vintage hockey lately. Love the C56 set and this Taylor card. But I think I like this skateboard more. Took me over 10 years to finally find an original unused Tony Hawk that matched the one I got for Xmas 1985.

Searched for this card for years and years, and all of a sudden a couple of Authentic's popped up, then this one. Glad to own one!

[SyrNy1960]

I'm not a collector of early cards, but I sure enjoy all the cards and photos you all have shared! Thanks!!

Not pre-war or a card, but until I land an N172 Collins (Lowell,) this is it, by far:


MLB Authentic Game Used Fenway Park 3rd base (May 9, 2011 - extra inning win for the Sox.)

I bought this at a show in Anaheim from Mike Berkus. Encapsulated it many years later:



I wanted a Groucho signed Bowman card but never thought I'd find one. I mean, what are the chances, right? Then I was surfing eBay one night [insomnia] and there it was. BIN:

[begsu1013]

that groucho card is very cool!
