Cards that satisfy you

[wolfdogg]

Got to be this......when I got this card I started selling most of my pre-war collection because they just seemed to not compare to this card. This was the card I had wanted since 1983, at age 12, when I saw a picture of one (with a Famous & Barr back) in a "Baseball Cards" magazine that featured a small Ruth checklist. After school I started the quest to find one at a good price but most were in auctions (and in higher grades....I often wondered if it existed in lower grade....LOL). Bid on a couple in auctions and lost out then finally found one for sale that I liked and here it is.......finally

texasleaguer, this card makes me feel like a kid again...I always think about how many hands have handled this Plank (and sometimes wish I could break it out and handle personally as well ) since it was originally packaged by Philly Caramel Co. Whatever kid or adult that originally found it in their pack must have been mesmorized by the bright colors, pose and iconic ballplayer being represented (certainly feelings I share). That's what I think about every time I look at this card...and why it definitely satisfies!

Johnny Evers a with a Coupon back is one of my favorite type cards. Pat Seerey, who hit 4 Homeruns in one game has only a 1948 Leaf issue to be remembered by. Johnny Wyrostek..Note the jersey striping on the PSA5 example. I have never seen another example with that detail.

This one does it for me. This must have been taken before a game as the stands are empty and someone is walking in the background. He has a wad of gum or something else. He has almost a distant look on his face as if lost in thought; yet he has taken a gigantic swing. I am not sure what he is looking at...it doesn't appear as if he is looking at the ball, the pitcher or anything else. I look at all the energy he expended making this swing and wonder about the context it was taken in.....unfortunately pictures capture only a moment in time.
