Most Valuable Card in your Collection

Amazing cards! I will never get tired of looking at this Anson.

Value only matters if you're gonna sell; if not, it's all a popcorn fart. This is my favorite prewar baseball card:



Had it since I was 12. Gonna have it until they bury me. Might even have my daughter toss it into the casket along with my other childhood cards: 1952 Topps Walt Dropo, 1969 Topps Wilt Chamberlain, and 1974 Topps Hank Aaron...

I’ve been lucky enough to add some sweet, valuable cards over the last 2-3 years, but forced to pick only 1, I’d have to say this Ted has the most “value” for me

For me - it would be this one

I *think* this is my most valuable card. It would be worth five times as much in a PSA holder!

This is a fun thread. I find it noteworthy that the overwhelming majority of posts are either of Cobb (mostly T206) or Mantle (mostly 1952 Topps), with Ruth (almost exclusively 1933 Godey) in third. I think there are more Cobbs, alone, or Mantles, alone, than all other players combined minus Cobb, Ruth, and Mantle.

My personal, absolute favorite on the thread so far is the Voskamp's Wagner - great card! So, in an effort to give Wagner a little love, here are his two rookies (although not his most valuable card). BTW - I always thought he looked a little like Fred Flintsone in this pose

Love that card. I think it's Ted's best looking one. Been looking to pick one up, but the prices have been going bonkers recently.
