Are you going for issued "sets" or do possibly unique RPPC count? I really like those early circa 1915-16 Ruths.

Good question, was thinking sets or at least widely distributed, but whatever you feel qualifies.

I don't know how widely distributed that Greenville Jackson postcard was, but that thing is amazing.

My personal favorite is Joe D's 1903 PC of the New York Giants.

Unfortunately I couldn't find my scan.

yes...that joe jackson postcard is amazing! i would surmise that most listed postcards are known to exist in numbers barely approaching double digits at best.

And that the "honus wagner" of postcards will vary from pc collector to pc collector depending on what they need.

I like the Pebble Beach Joe Di Maggio - like that it's signed (as all Pebble Beach PCs are). Picture from Old Cardboard website:

Interesting, and great to see these wonderful postcards, but I don't get the analogy. IMO, there's not such thing as a "Wagner of postcards," since the circumstances of issue and collecting between T-206s and postcards are so different. To me it's like saying, "What's the Wagner of pennants, or pins, etc." There is no Wagner of those, or of postcards, either. But maybe this is just the contrarian in me.

I think the OP surely recognizes that but simply asks what is the holy grail of postcard collecting?

I'd love to have that 1911 Addie Joss Day All Star Line Up Post Card if I could ever afford it.

I think Jeff's HC Hubel Cobb is pretty high up there. I'll let Jeff post his copy if he chooses. This is my unlisted contribution.
