I like these because of what they represent to me. When I was a kid, I collected vintage cards. In 1991 when I got married, I had no job and no money - so I gradually started dipping into my old cards and selling them. Finally, I was at the point where I was so far in debt that I was going to go bankrupt - so I took a huge binder of great vintage stuff to a card show, and got taken advantage of by a dealer who bought the whole thing from me for $400. Probably worth $20,000 today.
The last two come from the first set I collected as a kid.

Thanks for sharing. I can't disagree with you. That's a nice list, and to be able to check them all off would be a major accomplishment for many collectors.
JEB.
Oh yeah, Enjoy:

1951 Bowman Mantle
1953 Topps Whitey Ford
1953 Topps Mays
1953 Topps Mantle

Wow, that's a great Carew. What a beautiful card.
Mine comes from the first pack of baseball cards I ever bought, back in 1977. I opened it inside a grocery store. I remember pulling the Carew out of the pack and from that point on, I was hooked.
I still have it, and it's the only '77 Carew I have. Over the years it has been, umm, "handled", but I'll still never replace it. It's the only '77 Carew I'll ever own.
