a few choices.....and I don't own most of these nor does value really play a role.

1. 1914 Baltimore News Ruth
2. 1911 T205 Cobb
3. 1893 Just So Cy Young
4. 1916 D381 Wagner
5. 1910 E90-1 Young - Boston


On any given day the last 2 of those could change for me. I doubt the top 3 would change.

1) 1970 Bench - great photo, huge glove;
2) 1967 Mantle - best head shot on any card, one of the first cards I remember getting in a wax pack, my dad bought the pack for me from Sal's Stationary store in Stamford CT after church at St. Mary's on a sunday;
3) T206 Magee - love the color;
4) 1969 Chamberlain - awesome card, Wilt is a monster;
5) 1953 Topps Dizzy Trout - are you kidding me?

The 1957 Topps Mantle is the perfect baseball card.

For pre-war I've got to go with CJ Jackson.

I am sure my answer would be different if I filled this out 5 times except my number 1 but here goes

1. Revelle portrait-t210-AWH-206-Old Mill cab.-any will do my number 1.
2. Matty 205-something about this card I always liked
3. Jacklitsch Mino
4. Adkins Drum 1/1
5. Cobb bat on my first vintage card-still have it ex for 100 bucks in 89 or 90.

206 Boston Herzog, the pink pose of an E card of McGraw, Wagner e107, w600 Matty, e 90-1 Upp, e93 Leach, t209 Hooker, pretty much any T3, Lajoie bat pose.
