What are your 5 favorite cards of all-time?

[David R]

I think it's very interesting that 75 percent of the threads on this board seem to be about t206s but they certainly don't dominate the lists of favorite cards of all time. Many lists contain no t206s.

I don't know that I have a top 5. But I definitely have a #1:

No particular order.

1954 Bowman Ted Williams
1893 Just So Cy Young
t206 Honus Wagner(sorry, but it's too Iconic not to list)
1949 Leaf Satchel Paige
1937 OPC Bob Feller

[oldjudge]

Second Five:

1. T210 Jackson
2. Felix Mendelsohn Ruth
3. W600 Wagner
4. W600 Cobb
5. Lone Jack Comiskey

I was scrolling down to see if someone else had posted the T3 Cobb.

That would be mine as well for #1

How awesome would it have been to have a Honus Wagner T3!


The T3 Cobb would be followed by:

T206 Kling
T3 Frank Chance
Breisch-Williams Honus Wagner
1986-87 Fleer Michael Jordan

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, perhaps.

Here are my current top 5 "of all time";

Ironically the CJ Clarke came from the OP via BST. His enthusiasm for CJ's was contagious and he gave me a great deal on my first.

Vic Willis came from Marc Del P just a few weeks ago.
