If you could only own five cards, what would they be? Just for fun lets assume that every card is only worth 25 cents and there are unlimited amounts of every card ever made and they are in psa 10 condition. This way we are not getting answers based on monetary motives, or every one answering 1952 topps Mantle or the Gretzky Honus Wagner.

My list

1. 1953 Bowman Color Pee Wee Reese
2. 1952 Topps Bob Feller
3. 1911 T-206 Ty Cobb
4. 1954 Topps Hank Aaron
5. 1963 Topps Lou Brock

    Granted these aren't cheap cards but I pick these for aesthetics only. (Plus, baseball and hockey are my main sports.)

    No particular order-

    1948 Leaf Stan Musial- a Musial rookie against a beautiful blue background. A great combo or what?
    1954 Topps Gordie Howe- the most beautiful hockey card ever made.
    1933 Goudey Dizzy Dean- another Cardinal and one of the most attractive cards in the '33 set. (I prefer this one to his '34.)
    1955 Parkhurst Rocket Richard- the 1950s Canadiens were the CanadiAn version of the 1950s Yankees. Le Rocket was Le Mieux!
    1953 Bowman Pee Wee Reese- Clemaz has good taste! Again, one of the most beautiful (baseball) cards ever made.

    If you're not fussy at all Columbia city has a damaged 35 wheaties hutson for 125 and somewhere I have a 57 starr with a moustache drawn on image

    columbia has a wheaties in ex-mt+++ too for $995 but for a starter hutson it's hard to go wrong for $125

    I dunno - I suppose a '51 Mick Bowman, a nice T205 Cobb, Mathewson and Johnson, and the T206 Wagner (in pleasing EX.)

    Close choices would be things like a Ryan '68 VZ in GEM, or any of the possible VZ Mantles in GEM (would love a '64 Mick VZ.)
