Long Time...No See

We thought it would be fun, and informative, to ask each Board member to list the three cards that have been on his/her want list for the longest period of time.

As most of you know, we collect high grade rare type cards- so here is our list

Texas Tommy (Grade 5 or better)
T 209- Color ( Grade 7 or better)
Williams E 103 ( Grade 5 or better)

And just for good measure

1958 Topps PSA 8 or PSA 9 Ryan Duren

Looking forward to hearing what's on your list

I would have to say

1. American Beauty T205 Cobb in mid grade

2. American Beauty T205 Matty in mid grade

3. Cycle T205 Joss in mid grade

[Leon]

My 3 top ones (since I got my Greiners Bread card)

1. D355 Niagara Baking
2. D351 Grennan Bakery
3. everything else

[Robextend]

Good thread

3 cards that will probably remain on this list for a long time because of scarcity and the premium they carry:

1 - Rose Co Postcard Rube Waddell
2 - E107 (Type 1 or 2) Rube Waddell
3 - T206 Brown Hindu (Portrait or Throwing) Rube Waddell

Honorable mention (and more attainable):

E91C Johnson
R313 Dimaggio
HOF RCs I don't have - Mantle, Mays, Paige, J Robinson, Clemente, Koufax to name a few

[rholmes]

Here's mine:

1. 1909 Cabanas (Detroit players)

2. E90-1 Stahl

3. T205 Joss

Hey Rob, did you see the E91C WaJo on eBay last Sunday? It was a nice one.

My list is more peculiar than anything:
E121 (80) - Rip Collins
Canadian Goudey R314D - Jake Mooty
V61 Neilsons - Ty Cobb

[Irwin Fletcher]

My list:

1. 1933 Worch Cigar Arky Vaughan
2. 1936 R312 Vaughan/Wagner
3. 1935 Goudey 4-in-1 Harder, etc. or Deshong, etc. in SGC 60+

[Zach Wheat]

Hey Bruce, welcome back. Good thread...mine would probably be

T3 Cobb/Matty
Texas Tommy any condition

Zach

[M's_Fan]

My list doesn't have any really rare cards, but for one reason or another they have eluded me for some time:

T206 Marquard throwing SGC 60 +
T206 Wheat SGC 60 +
N162 Andrews SGC 30 +

[Peter_Spaeth]

From VCP the Duren does not look that rare?

105 and sunny here today. (It was 86 when I got the paper at 6:30.)

We'd kill for a cloudy day!

I'm heading out to the Giants-Cubs day game today. I'll fill a mason jar with fog and mail it to you.

It's been so hot in central Ohio, a lot of lawns are dying.

Sincere condolences to their families and the entire Kentucky Bluegrass community.

Edited to add:

1. Van Patrick postcards of Hal Peck, Les Willis

2. E94 Lajoie, purple background

3. Nice example of an E101 Lajoie

[Rickyy]

I'd love to have these for my type collection....but at my price...lol.

1. Kalamazoo Bats team or player card
2. Yoo Hoo card with Tab
3. 1955 Felin's Franks Card (any player)

[perezfan]

T3 Fred Clarke
T3 Nap LaJoie
T3 Mordecai Brown

None are that tough to acquire... I just always seem to be under-bidder. I like Turkey Reds, as they straddle the line between cards and memorabilia. Plus, they're stunning!

[Wite3]

Well...

I added two to my wishlist thanks to a board member and an auction...N172 Whitney w/ dog and T205 Drum earlier this year so I guess that leaves...

Any Felin Frank
T205 Hobby no stats
Any Father and Son's Shoes Phillies

Glad I own a Joss already...and one of the very few PSA cards I own is a '58 Duren in PSA 8. Interesting to see some of the cards on other people's lists that I already own.

[ValKehl]

Low grade with nice eye appeal works for me.

(1) 1925 Holland Creameries - Peckinpaugh.
(2) Any Walter Johnson card I don't have - e.g., E122, E123, E270, E271, etc., and especially M101-4 Indianapolis Brewing.
(3) Any N370 Lone Jack Cigs, for the type collection.

Val

[T205]

This card has been on my list for over a year and half and it will complete my T205 Boston Rustlers set for the T205's. Seems like it is a tough common.

T205 Bayard H. Sharpe PSA 4 /SGC 5.0
