Top 5 pieces

[garymc]

I am a new forum member and this thread has completely knocked me out. I didn't realize to what extent so many board members have such exceptional collections. I love my collection but it is nothing compared to the ones on this thread. Very inspiring......

Great Thread.

I also can't compete with many of the posts on this thread, but I'm happy with the beginnings of my Oklahoma Athletes collection.

This is my favorite 5 at the moment. 1 & 2 will never change as I can't even imagine anything I would like more.

1 & 2 are my all-time favorite 2 players, a Wade Boggs and Roger Clemens wrong back pair. These are the only known pair and I acquired these directly from Score.

3 A very cool Tris Speaker with a huge print offset.

4 This Clemente is one of the few real missing yellow color cards I have ever seen. It is now in a SGC slab.

5 The little kid in me just loves the T210 Ft Worth cards with the FTW showing.

Yes I like error cards and value has no influence on how much I like a card.

I hope it is ok if I post 6 - I couldn't get it down to 5.

A picture of Mickey Mantle on his first pro team, the semi-pro Whiz Kids, from 1947 when he was 16 years old. Mantle and a few of the other players have signed the picture (the other sigs are barely legible). The condition is a bit rough because it is an original copy that belonged to one of the kids in the picture, Guy Crow, who was the bat boy (left end of the right bench).

Recently got my most prized possession back from SGC.

Wow, there's some amazing stuff here. Thanks for sharing.

I will just go with a card I really enjoy from each sport I collect:

Fond memories of those 1990 Score cards! That was probably the last year that I bought packs, and being from Boston (originally), gotta love the Boggs/Clemens with backs switched!

My current favorite 5 Prewar card selections.

So many great items, I need to contribute something. This composite isn't from the best resolution scans, but will have to do for now. A group of colored Detroit mounts.

Hey MattyC,

I saw your 52 Topps Mantle when it was on display at the Louisville Slugger Museum. Thanks for allowing me to see such an iconic card!!

Ben,

Thanks so much for seeing it!

Means a lot to me that you enjoyed it; that card always makes me smile.

Every time I see Matty's 52 mantle I think of the one in the Louisville Slugger Museum I think it's the same grade and displayed similarly. Sick card. The other 4 aren't too shabby either.

Note: Ben and I posted simultaneously. What a coincidence we had the same thought.

Note #2: I just saw the REG number is the same. Wtf? it's the same card??? How the hell did the museum get matty's mantle? Or how did Matty get the mantle from the museum????

Looks as if he let Topps show it off!!!
