Hands down the T3 Ty Cobb. I sure do miss owning this card from time to time.

I would include these in my list, partial to the M101 Copper Plates and Sporting News (Wagner here), the Wajo portrait (always been my favorite), the Round Album (Anson here)!, E90-1s (the Karger shown is beautiful), the batoff Cobb.

Couldn’t find a scan, but maybe the best looking of all prewar cards are the 1911 sweet caporal hockey postcards, those are quite rare and gorgeous.

My first choice, which I posted above, is the 1940 Playball Bobby Doerr. This 1933 Goudey Carl Hubbell is a close second for me.

I agree with Joe G. that 19th century sepia photographs are gorgeous and I agree with Spike that showing an animal is a major plus. I think I read somewhere (probably the auction catalog) that this pose was meant to be ironic (a dog being known for loyalty while Whitney being known for changing teams often). I can't say if that's true but this is my current favorite card image (at least from my collection).

That said, I'm just going to say it, I know some of you are thinking it, there are a bunch of really nice cards in this thread, but there are also some real head scratchers. I'm not going to point out any of them since they are just my opinion, but I know you guys are thinking it too.

I guess we all just have different aesthetic taste, although in card collecting the subject of the card certainly seems to have a very large influence on the perceptions of many of us.

Nice choice Brian. Of course I meant what I said in humor, which I hope came across in the post. To each their own of course.

I have to agree with Dale, some of the early Bowman's have great artwork.

The E90-1's have several cards that seem three dimensional. Not sure if it was intentional, but adds a bit to the set's mystique.
