When I saw that you had posted, Tony, I just knew the Lajoie would be included. Damn it.

Default Maybe Im the only one.....

I wouldn't sell my cards that came to me as a kid. I bought the 86 fleer baskerball set, borrowing money from my accountant father, sold the set and kept the jordan...it wont go up for sale. Also I have the fist card i ever bought still, a 59t musial, and that will never be sold. Mt father gave a 69 mantle in nrmt 20 yrs ago and that will never be sold. To say I'd sell for the right price is kind of pointless b/c who would offer me an ungodly pile of cheese for these cards? But every time i look at them i remember when, where, how and WHY i got them. There is a feeling that goes w/ that...you can bury those cards w/ me.

Mine is not a card it's a signed Nolan Ryan Ball the first thing baseball related my daddy ever gave me. I don't care if I'm on the street starving I will have that ball in my ragged coat pocket or shopping cart.

Thanks Tony...extremely hard to see glue residue on the back is only reason for the harsh grade. No way I could replace it with the same eye appeal without breaking the bank.

These three skinned Old Judges that my dad gave me when I was a kid...along with the advice to collect vintage cards and stop wasting my money on modern (1980s) cards.

My top one is not a card, but a multi signed ball my dad got when he was 12 yrs old at an Enid Giants/Joplin Minors game in Oklahoma. Sweet spot is signed by the local idol, an 18 year old shortstop- Mickey Mantle, who I think made 60+ errors, but hit .383 that year.

These two are definitely not the most valuable, and have little on others posted, but took me a long time to find, and love them both for that... (also- all cards given/acquired in some way through my parents are off limits, but it would be boring to scan a 1987 Fleer Will Clark).

BTW- Curious how is that T206 Johnson only a 3, and the green Cobb only a 2? Rear paper loss?

Being a bottom-feeder collector, I feel pretty fortunate to own this card even in its condition. I don't see myself ever upgrading or parting with it.

Hey, Gary:

Great choice on the c1915 Ruth RPPC. I was disappointed to see how cheap it went when you won it in a recent auction (it was my consignment) but I'm glad that at least it went to a fellow collector who appreciates it so much.

I have two that fit in here. When I started collecting in the early 80's I saw a picture of a '56 Ernie Banks card and that became my goal. I was all smiles when I bought that one. Almost 30 years after that I had a near fatal accident at work and eventually reached a modest settlement. The first thing I bought was a Banks rookie and the second thing was a Banks jersey.

I met Ernie Banks a few months after buying the card and told him what had happened to me. He had a shocked look on his face and asked if I was OK ( I am). I told him about my purchases and showed him the jersey I was wearing and he asked me if I'd take it off so he could sign it. The event organizers tried to jump in and say he couldn't sign it and I'll never forget what he said and did. He got mad at them and was almost yelling as he said "You all back off! This man was hurt and almost died! I want to sign his jersey and I'm GOING TO SIGN HIS JERSEY! You all need to learn what life is about." I was awestruck. I called my dad after that and we both had tears over what Ernie did. He is a real class act.

Here I am all wide eyed like a little kid at the event

Great story about Banks.Those kinds of stories restore some of my faith in mankind and sports celebrities in particular. Glad you are ok after the accident.

As for the topic, I am with Adam, I think. Nothing is 100% off limits. I think at some point I would like to do a catalog to sell my collection. Not sure when but I think that would be a lot of fun. Nice thread too!!

Agreed, great Banks story. Now to your second point. I've often considered going the same route, and start just constantly moving cards, and live vicariously through a checklist of all the cards that I once owned as opposed to simply the ones I own.. My addiction just won't let me do it though, I have a hard time letting go of doubles of commons, not to mention some of the all time great cards..

Default Signed T206 Collection

Really every card in my signed T206 collection, unless I have doubles. It is easy to fall in love with the Hall of Famers, like Fred Clarke, Cy Young and Walter Johnson. But my favorite autographed T206 card may just be my Lena Blackburne. I really just love the signature and overall presentation. Also, it is hard not to love Fred Snodgrass' comments about how he was once a catcher; my first autographed T206 card (Marquard portrait); or the highest graded signed T206 card (Doyle portrait) I have ever seen. The Clarke and Doyle are originally from the Jeff Morey collection, which I view as the best provenance imaginable.

Thanks, man. I may keep 'em forever, and in my safety deposit box, but I love sharing scans on my website and here, of course.

If you're going to keep special cards under lock and key for a generation, you owe it to the collecting public to at least let them breathe online.
