Beautiful card, Mike! I'll have to think long and hard about my favorite. That's a tough one.

A quick story about the '50 Baugh. When I was a kid in the 70's and started collecting football cards, I used to go with a buddy to a local card shop and a local flea market where we discovered vintage football cards existed ... i.e. pre 1970 cards. I would try to pick up a card of a player I'd read about in a book (ideally their rookie card) every time we went but was constrained by having a kid budget so often had to pass. I did pick up a 1950 Bowman Dante Lavelli and 1951 Emlen Tunnell that I still have. Most of the others were late 50's / early 60's Topps and Philly cards.

One weekend I stopped by the flea market and a card dealer had a 1950 Bowman Sammy Baugh. I'd never seen it before and loved the color! He wanted $10 for it and I only had $8 in my pocket. He wouldn't budge on the price so I left without it. The next weekend when I went back, it was gone. Always haunted me that I didn't get that card as a kid so it was one I was after first when I started putting together the 1950s Bowman sets 5-6 years ago.

Love that card.
