Keith Olbermann's 3 favorite t206 cards

[bn2cardz]

Who cares which cards he likes? He is a man short of any logic at all, so what that he owns a Wagner t206. He can't even tell when one is trimmed. He may not even be able to tell that Burns glove is backwards and may think Dunn is a horizontal. For all I know he thinks the Shannon is the best looking t206.

I don't really like that such a hate-filled man is one of the main stream faces of our loved hobby.

Nice andy!

Okay, here are Keith's 3 favorites as told to me:

Matty dark cap
Paskert
Oakes

Paskert and Oakes not even in my top 100. Yours?

Not even close! Strange choices in my opinion.

I couldn't disagree more.

Oakes was the first T206 card I bought and is responsible for starting my addiction, oops I mean collection. I thought the composition was cool, but it is by no means one of the best looking T206's. Now, if we were talking about the Oakes E90-1, that would be a different story.

Perhaps one might want to ask him as to why he feels that way about the Oakes & Paskert?
Maybe there is a reason

Wow...interesting! I have to admit, I also like the Paskert and Oakes, but I like anything Cincinnati!!

I could careless about his political views...this to me was simply a fun thread in my view....oh well that's just me.... Btw...What's Glenn Beck's favorite card? Glenn Beckert? If it is..that'll be cool.

As noted by a few others, I couldn't disagree more. Keith is not what you describe and he probably knows more about this hobby - especially when it comes to tobacco cards and vintage Topps issues - than most of the rest of us combined. I may not agree with all of his political views, but I also don't agree with all my wife's views or my Dad's views, etc, but so what! We're talking about baseball cards. It kills me when people turn off their ears and minds to potential knowledge about a topic - or a hobby in this case - just because they dislike a person (a person they've likely never met) or because they have different poilitcal views.

BTW - he doesn't own "a Wagner" - he owns three. Actually, I believe it's now just two because he recently sold one so that he could donate a large sum of money to an institution that is near and dear to his heart.

Why does every thread have to take a negative turn?? It was a nice civil discussion until this occurred.

2 facts surrounded by 4 baseless accusations followed by 1 biased opinion, disguised as fact. Someone understands how Fox News works!

Ah, the old gratuitous Fox News cheap shot. Most folks with anything of value to say and not totally devoid of critical thinking skills can do better than that.

Must be a fan of the fair and balanced network. For the record if Mr. Limbaugh collected cards and had the knowledge and experience in the hobby of Mr. Olbermann I'd care about his card positions. Not being able to separate the two is silly. I can watch Frasier and laugh hysterically but find Kelsey Grammer's politics to be distasteful. If you are unable to do such things you are only short changing yourself.

Amazes me how many people here seem unaware of Olbermann's long collecting--and writing about it--going back decades and before hardly anyone else cared. So his picks, especially since somewhat surprising, should have a little extra interest.

They are. I'm not sure why people complain about threads they don't like when it's much easier to skip it than take the time to rant about it.

Besides contributing to the hobby magazines of the 70's & 80's didn't Keith write the bio's on the '75 SSPC and/or '81 Donruss cards?
Keith has an awesome collection and I'm glad he's posting here.

My thoughts exactly Greg. Thanks for posting Keith, and Happy Father's day to all!
