a card you bought just because you liked it

You ever buy a card just because you liked it and not that you "needed" it? I always thought this was a neat card. Now that he is a HOF'er I am surprised this went for only approx. $56 recently on ebay.....show a card that you bought just because you liked it, even though you didn't need it...(do we really "need" any of them?) |

99% of the cards I have purchased are "just because I liked it". I "need" 10 cards. That's it, that's all. The realistic liklihood is that I will pick up maybe two or three before it's all over. |

Well, I would have to post my entire collection. I only collect cards that just happen to catch my eye the right way. If I had to pick one good example of a pre-war (I collect all cards no matter what era) I would use this T-206 Jim Stephens. It's in sparkling condition. The scanner magnified the flaws 10X worse. What caught my eye was the vintage mitt he's wearing. |

Neal, I love that card. What issue is that from? I don't recognize it. |

Thanks! It is from the 1925 Turf Cigarettes. It was a two-series-50 card issue by Turf based out of the UK. George Sisler was the only baseball player depicted in the series. |

"Just because I liked it" applies to most of my cards now that I've officially renounced set collecting. (Well, besides my T206 St. Louisans.) But I really like this one - one of my favorite images coupled with one of my favorite backs: |

Its the only T205 that I own. It reminds me of the Mona Lisa. Mr. McGraw kinda has that smirk/smile thing going on too. The color combination also draws me in. The scan is borrowed because my card is in a deposit box. |

this singleminded 206 fella bought a NM 201 McGinnity just so I could have one of those tricky fold in half cards. |

I'm not much of a set collector - so most every purchase is because I like the card. |

Saw this and had to have it. Originally started with a beater, then upgraded. I did the same with the E95 Merkle but sold it off a year ago. Still looking for another one. |

That signed Gehringer is beautiful. Like you said - both card and auto! |

Agreed on the Gehringer. It's a knockout. If I remember correctly it was part of a 3 or 4 card lot on BST. I don't collect autographs or 33 Goudeys (though I think it's a great set), but I seriously considered buying it for that Gehringer. |

Bill, I would send it back to PSA, I'm sure it's a Cobb, the rare error version. |

I'm a do-it-yourself subset collector, so this is the kind of thinking that usually starts me down a road of a whole lot of trouble... |

Rob, that is one of the saddest mistakes I've ever seen. A monkey that was trained for 2 minutes might make that mistake. I only wish it would have read "white cap" on the flip. |

Actually, Rob, what you have there, according to my research, is a very very rare T205 chase preview card that was randomly inserted into the T206 Rack Packs. The odds on that pull are thought to be close to 1:2,500,000 |

I'll always remember the story I read as a kid - relating that Nick Altrock was the only pitcher ever to win a game without throwing a pitch. I believe someone else did it a few years ago. |
