<< <i>Went a little nuts back in the day buying '75 minis. Always loved the Yount card look with the colors and him all by himself. Doug
I'm a big fan of this one. Love the fielding pose and the 75 design and colors as well as the player. Cool to see him as a teenage to young twenty something who doesn't look much like the guy who would celebrate his 3000th hit. As well as the nice landscape view in the background. For me, it's 57 Unitas. Always wanted one as a kid even though I didn't see him play and only knew of the legend. And love the big grin and the flattop. I like the design of the 57 with the colors and the two images. In the case of the Unitas, I like the action pose that is so particular to the timeframe. You're not going to see Brady or Manning in that pose. Also a sucker for the cartoons on the back.
it never fails to disappoint. Great cards, guys!
My favorite comes down to a tie between these two cards. Ironically, this would likely
be the most valuable and the least valuable cards in my collection. The '77 Topps Fidrych
has a sentimental value that can't carry a price tag, as it's from one of the first packs I
ever opened. I probably searched for a '14 CJ Cobb for 6 years before finally grabbing
this one off eBay a couple yrs ago. It's my Holy Grail, and as many know, nearly impossible
to land without caramel staining.

This Cobb is fantastic...nice one!!
This is my favorite Clemente because of childhood memories....I still remember the day that adult bought it off of me at a garage sale for $20! I'm still working to get it up to at least an 8.
And one day down the road I would like to get a PSA 3 or 4 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig.

<< <i>From what I understand Mullins is especially fond of '79 Gretzkys with "reprint " stamped on the back
funny.
1921 W516-2-1 #28 Eddie Collins PSA9
1926 W512 #2 Grover Alexander PSA8

Kiss me twice.....let's party.
My "other" favorite due to it's uniqueness
First glance it looks like a common 1933 R309-1
But it is unique (green border and name plaque, back easel design, crispness and clarity of photo)
Some think it is from the unreleased set cataloged as R340 Sport Kings Premiums (should have been obtained from a wrapper offer, but never issued as intended).
But it also may be a R309-1 prototype or proof. Besides the differences already mentioned.... Its larger than a R309-1 by 1/2" both ways (extra green border)

These may be the only 2 I would every hold onto if I get the back (minus the daughter)!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
What I like about this card is the setting and background.
But sometimes don’t make sense

I've got a PSA 6, A PSA 5, Two 4's...a coupel raw that would be 2s or 3s, an SGC 20, and some more raws that would be authentic or PSA 1s.
<< <i>Have always wanted this card and was fortunate enough to pick it up recently:
WOW
I really need to get this one re-holdered, as its badly scratched up.
<< <i>Matt....you should have let me send that in for you under the reholder sub I did. We got those back recently, and they shipped back out. Now I don't have anymore!! (and hopefully won't for awhile).... >>
Thanks Bobby, but its a $2000 card, and I refuse to ship something like that through the mail. I will have it re-holdered at the Sun Times Show in November, or worst case at next year's National. I forgot it this year, or it would have been done.

Oh...I didn't realize it was worth that much. These things are almost like casino chips. I got a stack of Dick Butkus cards, around $4,000 worth, just sitting haphazardly on the floor. Like casino chips, I guess I don't think of them as real money (even though they very much are).......
Today, this is my favorite card in my collection.
Yesterday, it was this one:
Tomorrow, it will be something different. (At least I've got it narrowed down to a specific sport; and for me, that's progress.)
