Recent pick-up, not in the best condition, but I love the image. Apple orchard in the background, perfect central Washington backdrop. Certainly not the four horseman. 1929 Entiat High School:

Outside of some wire photos the only three original photos I have are displayed in the Pickup thread you reference.
Here is one that I was really excited to see I won. There are a couple other shots of Musial with Jackie Robinson, but this is my favorite as it shows a front shot of Musial greeting the only universally retired number in baseball, 42.

I like some of everything I guess. I try to look for a few things: iconic images, images that I consider to capture the essence of the subject, images from important events, and early career images. Here are some examples:
Iconic: 1920s Apeda studio Jack Dempsey, used in many cards, premiums, etc.:  Iconic: the essence of the Cincinnati Cobra, Ezzard Charles:  Iconic: the Brown Bomber, Joe Louis:  Important event: Louis, training for the Braddock fight:  Jim Jeffries resting at the camp training for the Johnson fight, 1910 Dana Studio stamped Type I:  Early career Clay/Ali:   Early career Gene Tunney:  David [Skywalker] Thompson in college:  ETA: plus, it has to have a good composition, decent focus, not to much damage or editorial markings [though I will buy anything with these defects if the price is right]. If I happen to collect a subject, I will accept more issues. I also will grab photos shot by 'major' photographers if I can find them at what I think is a good investment price: 1911 Fred Welsh by George Grantham Bain:  1967 Cazzie Russell-Rudy LaRusso by George Kalinsky:   And then there's just plain fun stuff:

Some of Mickey
Although not my favorites of Mickey, these are a few Type I’s that I actually have scans of and think are nice:
Taken on Sept.14, 1950 in his Joplin uniform and used by the press as he was about to start a 2 week tour with the Yankees which began on Sept 20. On the back of the photo, in addition to the photographer's name, written in pencil "to the Yankees". June of 1951, shortly before Mickey was sent down to the KC Blues which clearly shows the effect of the enormous pressure he was under during his first 3 months in the majors (Graig certainly should recognize this). 6/9/1956, Associated Press "Riding the Crest". The perfect photo -content, clarity, contrast, composition and condition.The upward angle at which the photo was taken perfectly frames Mickey's great smile and that pile of lumber against the backdrop of the famed YS facade all in the midst of his triple crown year. Vintage, original, first generation 1956 period Gallo photo - Mick's favorite - with original Raymond Gallo Photographer stamp (no zip code). This 11X14 beauty hung in Mickey's office during the first few years of his Holiday Inn. 1952 Spring Training. To me Mickey's expression seems both majestic and pensive at the same time - perhaps conveying the conflicting sense of confidence and self-doubt that he still felt going into his sophomore year. Pre-season 1951. Smiling even when he’s up in the air! 1951 up against Feller, who by his expression really means business. This time Mickey flied out to right. Just a nice early 1950’s portrait I got from Henry. 4/26/1951 at the Kenmore Hotel in Boston (later provided the stage for some of Billy and Mickey’s off the field exploits). What a dresser and what a smile!!! December, 1950 after working in the mines. Original frame which hung on the walls of the office at the Eagle Picher Mines.
