What is the Mt. Rushmore of your personal collection?

rexvos

With the discussion of the Mt Rushmore of baseball cards last month, football cards this month, and I am sure we will see basketball next month, what is the Mt Rushmore of your collection?

Scans are a must for this thread.

I am guessing mine would be:

1957 Topps Jim Brown PSA 7


1986 Fleer Michael Jordan PSA 8


1976 Topps Walter Payton PSA 9


1965 Topps Namath PSA 6



Out of all of them the Payton is probably my favorite. I hope to one day do his basic Topps set in PSA 9 and better it is just hard for me to spendthrift kind of $$$ on non rookies in a high grade. (The Joe Montana, Tony Dorsettt and Archie Manning sets were much easier to complete)

I am hoping to see some nice Mantles in this thread, because if I had the $$$ that is what I would collect!!!!

I have a few different I could pick from but I think I would go with a panoramic photo of the 1909 World Series. There are several pictures combined to make up the entire item. The center photo has the caption "Cobb at bat, Crawford on deck, and Jennings coaching. I will post a pic later.
Thanks,
Robert

Great idea for a thread.


I have quite a few cards I love but these would have to be the four.

VitoCo1972

For cards only, I guess I'd go

orioles93

Id have to go with these 4.

milbroco

UGH! I misunderstood the idea of this thread...........................

Here's a hint: post scans of your four biggest cards from your collection lol

Stone193

Good question!

I'm gonna have to think.

So far - from my game collection - it's the Major League Indoor Base Ball Game:



Of the 16 players on board - 11 are HOFers!

From my coin op games and vending machines: Bat-A-Ball



2 to go.

ToneD

Great cards guys! I would go with these four.

What's the story with the Maki?

Fun thread, and great cards all around. ToneD, those cards are amazing. I'd have to go with:

<< <i>What's the story with the Maki? >>



Maki died May 12, 1974. Very tough to find a 71-72 Topps card with his signature, or any card for that matter, Topps in particular because he played in Canada where they only sold OPC cards - so you would have had to get him in a 2 year window on the road. He wasn't a big star but he was an original Canuck and is sought after big time in the hockey market. As a set collector, I put in a $2000 snipe when it showed up on eBay. I won it for significantly less but that's how much I wanted it...and thus why it's on my personal Mount Rushmore. It's the key to finishing 1971 Topps. I'm now 4 cards shy but DO think it's finishable. The four I'm still missing are Bruce Gamble (d. 1982), Dunc McCallum (d. 1983), Jacques Plante Leaders (d. 1986) and Roy Edwards (d. 1999 and I just lost an auction for one two weeks ago). I know that all of them exist.

Really nice cards shown so far. I'll go with these four.

Bliggity

Amazing stuff, everyone!

paleocards

If I had to pick four...

DanBessette

So much good stuff, guys!

Here's mine. It was tough to pick the 4th one. My Rushmore would really have about 7.

Since my 1926 & 1927 Bobby Jones are off for grading and I don't have any graded of Tiger, here's my current golf top 4 (subject to change next week)...

since the title didn't necessarily state cards, this has always been my sentimental fav. and takes up the entire mountain.

we got these at the ha black swamp auction @ the national in baltimore.

Neat thread. Wisconsin cheddar themed Rushmore. Never really noticed how much orange was in these cards until I put them together

Speechless. A nice Bart Starr rookie tops my want list. Those are 4 unbelievably nice cards

Also love several other cards in this thread. The Cochrane, Gehrig, Ric Flair, awesome Bowman Mantles, stunning 69 Bench just to name a few. Love the unique items as well!

Keep them coming

1986 Donruss Fred McGriff PSA 9

Some beauty cards!! Being from WISCO I Love the Cheddar Rushmore cards!!

These are some Baseball Rushmores from my collection - plus an alternate for Crazy Horse. A little hard to pick because I have other baseball favorites too.

That '62 Maris is one of my favorite cards. He earned the #1 spot in Topps' set because of his accomplishments in '61.

Mine are all hockey, and this is almost impossible. The Gretz and Shore are my two faves but the other two are in a group of 15 that could end up here:

Absolutely a gorgeous thread! Mine are all 1963 Topps San Francisco Giants.

Great items posted by everybody. Thank you for sharing.

MyDaughtersNameIsMattingly

Tough to pick 4, cool thread!

swish54

I couldn't narrow down a fourth card, so decided to go with my autographed Mays 16x20 of "the catch." Interesting how much is vintage and how little of everybody's items are modern.

begsu1013

first time I've seen this card!

certainly not an 88 topps but more info and how was it distributed, por favor...

weird it has the topps logo, but no yankee emblems???
