All time baseball card team - what would yours be?

[jason.1969]

I'll answer a little differently just to avoid a lot of repeats. Though I'm not really a rookie card collector, I will list my top RCs per position.

C - 1968 Topps Johnny Bench
1B - 1934 Goudey Hank Greenberg
2B - 1965 Topps Joe Morgan
3B - 1975 Topps George Brett
SS - 1979 OPC Ozzie Smith
OF - 1954 Topps Hank Aaron
OF - 1957 Topps Frank Robinson
OF - 1969 Topps Reggie Jackson
P - 1972 Topps JR Richard

I know my pitcher looks like he doesn't belong, but I'm a big fan of his. Plus I sold my Koufax so my only other pre-1980 pitcher RCs are Eck, Sutter, and Blyleven.

No right or wrong here. Not even anything to debate. Just another angle on sharing personal preference of card collecting - can be, but doesn't have to be cards you own. Overlap, no overlap -doesn't matter -what are/ would be your picks?

Maybe these with Ted as DH.

These, for me, were ones that I thought, artistically, just....wow! Not necessarily the best player or the most expensive card, just cards that have really caught my eye over the years. (I shall own that e95 Cobb someday!)

Starter: Walter Johnson t206 portrait
Catcher: 1953 Bowman color Roy Campanella
First Base: 1888 Goodwin Dan Brouthers
Second Base: 1933 Goudey Charlie Gehringer
Shortstop: t206 Wagner
Third Base: 1935 Diamond Stars Stan Hack
Right Field: 1972 Topps Roberto Clemente
Center Field: E95 Ty Cobb
Left Field: 1974 Topps Pete Rose

Runner up is '34 Goudey Greenberg

This is a fun idea. I'm going to go with cards that are actually in my collection. (Otherwise we're going to get a lot of 34 Gehrigs at 1B.)

That's a good team but no Sam Crawford or Harry Heilmann?
