What Is Your Favorite Card In Your Collection?

[mikecala98]

Not pre war but my absolute favorite.

[Brownie33]

Tough question! My favorites change from time to time, but as it stands today, this has to be my top.

Mines a recent win though REA...very rare and under appreciated card, nearly impossible to find with this eye appeal. I still can't believe I won it.

couldn't decide between one of them so posting my favorite 2...

If I have to pick just one, then it would probably be this one.

Hasn't changed in 17 years...still my favorite card and some day I hope to own an entire one! Has not one iota to do with price...just simply a gorgeous card. I can still remember the early 2000's seeing an SGC60 one available for around $250.00. I just didn't have the funds at the time to snag it.

That Menko is unreal. Super cool card.

Wow. A great pair
And an amazing Ruth

1957 Mantle. The card made quite an impression on me as a kid, and I still enjoy looking at it every day.

If any of those three become insubordinate, send them my way and I can put them through a rigorous employee training program that is likely to last several decades.

Webster, I'm lovin' your Voskamp's card of Wags! Ditto for all the other fantastic cards in this thread.

Being as I'm 99% NOT a set collector (except for the small Holland Creameries and A.W.H. Caramel sets), most of my collecting focus is on certain players, especially these three: Walter Johnson (to the extent my collecting budget will allow), Sam Rice (I'm striving for a master set), and Pete Runnels (my childhood favorite Washington Senator). Chosing a favorite from each of these 3 collections is tough, but here goes:

Looks like Hoss is indicating you should have gone with one.🤣

This is the 1st ‘vintage’ and Mickey Mantle card I ever purchased, so has a lot of meaning. It consumes none of my time. I don’t worry about it or obsess about it, nor actively consider how to monetize it. I just simply enjoy it whenever I see it. And one day my kids can have it without debate or stress over selling it for a windfall.

..I have never seen another anything of his using this image/pose. Neat that Miss Frances kept this all those years . He was a good-looking heart-throb in 1936 , and polite enough to write a nice note. It's rare for me to not be on the constant prowl for "upgrades" of my lower-end cards but this is as good as it gets to my eyes.

Mike - I love seeing cards (or postcards) I’ve never seen before. That is a fantastic card you have there, sir…and certainly one I hadn’t seen before. Thanks for sharing.

My Current Favorite.... but it changes all the time!

Enjoying seeing so many wonderful cards ya'll!! My favorites in this thread so far are Texxx's Red Cross McGraw and Aaron's Nadja Cobb!

I am with Val on the WaJo. Here are my two favorites.

My Hero growing up.....he stumbled and floated like a gazelle at the same time in patrolling centerfield......The Mets won Game 3 of the 1969 World Series because of him - two great catches and a home run to lead off the game.....

An iconic image on the 1970 Topps card of the '69 Met fan favorite..........He hit a home run in my very first baseball game I attended as a kid......This card will always be my favorite.....

[LEHR]

This is/was my favorite card; but it will be in the next REA catalog auction along with a few other goodies. Bid strong if you're interested. Daddy needs another 1968 Dodge Charger.

Lol. Glad you like it Ryan.

So tough to pick just 1? Dots is one of my favorite poses ever. And this t202 cobby/jennings is an all time classic.

[WillowGrove]

My favorite. Been collecting vintage for over 40 years and Ed Delahanty was always my favorite old timer. This cabinet is from 1898 and owned by the family. Address on back is the address of the Delahanty brothers tavern. Very proud to own it.

[pcoz]

Voskamps Wagner is mine. Only Wagner card with this iconic pose.

One day I’ll buy a Ruth card from his playing days, but in the meantime, I’d have to say this Honus Wagner, because well, it’s a Wagner and nobody truly knows what the heck these were actually from. The mystery of the issue is cool to me.

I've always loved this Smoky Joe:

Tough to choose between this Cobb or the T205.1922 E121 Cobb Batting SGC 3 Front.jpg

[BeanTown]

Changes all the time but these are always a favorite
