Top 10 E, M and T card portraits - HOF only

[Tao_Moko]

Some great suggestions and caused me to do some revisions already. But, where is Cobb and Lajoie?

1. M116 Wagner
2. E95 Plank
3. E90-1 Young
4. E90-3 Evers
5. T206 WAJO
6. CJ Tinker
7. T205 Matty
8. E104 Collins
9. T206 Cobb (Green Background) *Wankaticket's Cobb was inspiring and I need green on my sheet for background to balance out the red.
10.

*The e96 Mack is on honorable mention. I had not consider it.

I don't have one but the E90-1 Lajoie is a great looking portrait card. M116 Cobb is a nice portrait.

The E90-2 Wagner has trumped the M116 on my list. That's a nice card my friend. I've had the E107 Plank in my watch list to look at everyday too. Thanks for showing.

Another Cy to consider.

Thanks Jim. I have shown it too many times, just like this one Peter just pleaded me to post.....,but I never get tired of looking at beautiful cards. There are certainly some awesome ones in this thread. And I know you have some you never show that would be at the top of this list...

[deadballfreaK]

Three of my favorites are from E95. Plank, Cobb, and Bender. Here's my Bender. I'm sure someone could put up a far better E95 Cobb than the one I have.

Ty Cobb Domino Disc

[HRBAKER]

Always partial to this one:

[DeanH3]

Here are a few. I hope you guys mind me posting these again. I would definitely add the T206 Lajoie Port.

Terrific example of a great card, Leon. I recall a short while back there was a thread criticizing T205s and specifically (by some members) this card.

It was knocked for being to garish or "busy", and also the fact that Mr. Cobb appeared to be lacking a neck. For me, this all adds to the charm and appeal of the card. Who made the rule that baseball cards had to be anatomically correct?

This card has it all -- the color scheme; the gold borders; an artistic, stylized portrait of Cobb wearing his crumpled Tigers cap with white prinstripes resting within a baseball diamond. The crossed bats, mitt, and catcher's mask are framed perfectly below Ty's chin, while the Tigers logo and team name rest above him on the outfield grass. A great piece of art, and a fantastic example of lithography from the early 1900s.

If you need a Nap I would go with his T206, and would have to break my rule of 1 card per set and have him take the t205 spot.
