For me, it is the 1934 Goudey of Lou Gehrig that is in Kawika's (David McDonald's) collection. Gehrig's gorgeous signature graces that card in the set that features him. To me, there is no better card in the hobby.

Larry is a sentimental favorite because he simply doesnt get his due respect in the game.

1957 Topps Mantle. It made a lasting impression on me as an 8-year-old collector. I bought one (PSA 5) as soon as I could afford it.

Solid choice, Brian. One of my favorites as well. I hope it's OK that I post the card here (had to do some digging to find a scan). Top notch card from a top notch collection.

Not a problem at all. I was going to get around to it eventually. I bought the Gehrig probably twenty years ago now. I was in awe. Over the next few years three or four other signed '34 Goudey Gehrigs appeared on the market. A couple were acquired by Net 54 members. One of them, in my opinion, had a somewhat nicer signature but don't take that as a complaint. Definitely one of my very favorite cards. It's a special feeling to behold something that the great man once held and to which he affixed his name, separated by nine decades and a 1/16th of an inch of plastic.

Been giving a bit of thought as to what I might post as "my favorite card of all time". I'm lucky to have a number of candidates that on a given day would qualify. I finally decided that my choice would be a card I no longer have. Some of you are familiar with the story of the Benjamin Falk cabinet of Christy Mathewson I won from Mastro which was revealed to have been stolen from the Hall of Fame. Matty is my guy, a man who prevailed over the sport and over the culture like few others. I took it to Cooperstown and gave it back. Broke my heart.



Am pretty fond of his 1914 Cracker Jack. Still own it, has a clean title as best I know.



Used to drive by the old Polo Grounds every time we came into the city when I was a boy, a dark abandoned hulk across the river by that time but once it harbored McGraw's Giants and one could imagine scenes like this.



Less than six months from now it will be 100 years since he passed away, a century in which the world has changed so much yet those distant times still evoke alluring dreams that are depicted by our cardboard souvenirs.
