I agree with Jeremy that's one nice pose. Here's a photo of it

Yep, that's the card. If I wasn't so concerned about focusing my collection toward the 19th century, I would go after that one.

I'm partial to the basic m101-4/5 version:

Peter- Thanks for sharing that card. Too bad we have to try & look beyond all the plastic. I understand, but it still hides the beauty of the card.

Yeah, although the scan heightens that effect, it's much better in hand (or with a good scanner ).

While it is not a flattering image his 1931 W517 card has in my opinion his most compelling portrait. Even at the height of his accomplishments and fame Pete was always battling an array of personal demons. The stark, weathered face on that card is a testament to his struggle.

Personally I don't like the CJ, if you look closely at his face it is not a good image of him it's almost cartoonish like an E91.

Most of the black and white cards have a tiny head shot for some reason. The W517 has a great portrait although it's generally not an attractive issue.

I went with the Fatima but they are hard to find. It took me years to find this one.

Great cards everyone! My top three would be the Fatima, M101-4/5 and this one (thanks to the member who traded it to me)-

What bothers me more about the CJ issue is that it looks like he's posing post-follow thru, but he's still got the ball in his hand.
