I always love seeing these kinds of topics. They bring out the little kid in me.

My Walter Johnson is still the centerpiece of my collection.



God willing, I can avoid going under the knife for a while, and start collecting again here soon.
Thanks Bill! I agree with you 100% on the Ruth. #144 is my favorite as well. Great pose and fantastic colors. Your WaJo is a great card too. Good luck on your health and future pick ups!

Alexander Cartwright, Harry Wright, 1939 Josh Gibson PC, and my Rube Foster/Pete Hill PC. Great thread.

Here's the mega card in my modest collection. Possibly soon to be supplanted after an upcoming auction

Some beautiful pieces in here everyone! I'll toss in a bit of a modern piece that I like, due to the number of legends. It is of the James Naismith sport (shame on you NJ!), but I like it nonetheless

I'm more of a set collector, so it's harder to pick one card. I look for front/back combos that don't come up too often, and it's fun to take them out and see the result of all the time (way too much ) that I have put into searching. I took a couple pics when I visited my safe deposit box today.

If I had to pick one card as the centerpiece, it might be my e95 Cobb.

This thread is amazing, and has lots of show-stoppers, but for whatever reason, Bruce's Duffy cabinet is my favorite thing that ever gets posted on this board. I drool over it every time.

Nor do I, Leon. Yours is a real beauty, too.

I am so tempted to sell my Harper and Trout rookies. Those would pay for about half of a nice PSA 2.5-3.

Bill,

If had the Trouts and Harpers worth the big bucks, I'd certainly sell to fund the purchase of #144!

If I had to pick a favorite then my Joseph Laughlin Old Mill Cabinet would be my pick.

Since the National has had a few days of trading, buying, and selling, I'd like to give this thread a friendly bump. Any new collection centerpieces?

Not really valuable, but one of my favorite pre war cards. I love the Crawford image in the postcard. I had a few more valuable to share, but I couldn't get the upload to work.
