The Most Beautiful Card Ever

[Bicem]

most any T3.

Not a pre-war card, but love the 1953 Bowman of Pee Wee Reese high in the air.

I don't own one, but to me a bright red, white bordered Cobb Cracker Jacks...if a member has one please post

[ullmandds]

I agree...the cj cobb is suh-weet!!!!

[GregMitch34]

T3 Ty Cobb.

(although the '14 Cracker Jack Mathewson has a lot going for it, too)

Neither are in my collection, so I'll politely request that those who might own such epic cards post their scans should they choose.

I'm with Jeff P.
Most any T3.
I suspect that I'm partial to my Paskert framed alongside its matching
Conlon vintage original photo.

Just picked this up last night, surely one of the most beautiful Goudeys--and most soulful.

+1

i also love the t206 mathewson portrait, and any of the minor league t205's

You guys beat me to it! I was going to post my E102 horizontal Matty.
If I had to pick a second most beautiful card, I would probably go with one of the 1909 Obak cards, so many beautiful ones in that set. If you have a 1909 Obak in high grade, you have a beauty

I am always floored by this one:

I've also always liked the '33 Goudey Lefty Grove

This one is near the top of my list for aesthetics....

[GregMitch34]

Great picks so far, folks, keep going. I was hoping someone would mention the colors in the Waddell. Of course the Anson and Kelly mentioned early on have to rank very high. That Grove Goudey '33 is indeed great but a lot of competition from that issue, including the wonderfully cartoonist Hack Wilson. You could argue t206s all night--is that Cobb really more beautiful than, say, the Johnny Evers portrait (and so on)? Among the t205s one of the coolest obscure cards has to be the Batch minor leaguer. What about the M116 blue Matty (or blue Lajoie)? Shall we talk Obaks? And on and on.

[HRBAKER]

To me, any of the color (non-underwear looking) Boston Garters.
I think that they are 1914s.

I am partial to the colors of the 1933 Goudey Chuck Klein. I don't own one yet but hope to add it to my collection soon. The scan is from one that Probstien has that has already passed my budget.

[jthorst75]

+1 for calvindog's T227 Cobb but I also have to agree with Jlighter with the T206 Johnson portrait (striking image) and the
1921 Exhibit Ruth; its just a timeless photo of the,at the time, new Yankee. Would definitley love to have that T227 Cobb!

Here are three nominees for me...
