My general parameters are:

- from his playing days
- prefer as a Boston American/Red Sox (but a bit flexy there)
- rarity does not matter to much to me (ie, rare backs, etc)
- looks like him (so many cards look like anyone other than ol’ Denton!)
- cool look (like the sharp red background on the E-90-1
- low grade is fine but eye appeal and cemeteries matter a lot
- budget is up to $2500

Appreciate visuals of your faves from your collection (or your own Cy Young quest!)

Thx

I'm just wondering, what do cemeteries have to do with it?

That was my Easter egg to see who was REALLY paying attention. Steve, for the win! (Damn autocorrect… in a work text recently I referred to our entire senior team as the “senile” team. I think Siri was messin with me)

You should see my autocorrect. I do stand-up and some of my corrections take it in a very bad direction. I recently had to email someone named "Cyntia"; u can imagine what my autocorrect made it.

I wonder when the last time a Cy Just So RC appeared on the market? Probably fetch a tad more than $2,500 today.

you mean the last time "THE" just co cy young appeared on the market?

I'm partial to the e90-1 boston portrait myself...and I also have an e93 cy young in my collection.

Cant go wrong with any of the portraits either!
