in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

I just got to wondering what everyone has. I only have a couple of friends who collect cards and we already know each others collections pretty well.

If you threw them up on Ebay or consigned to an auction house, what would be your top 3-5 cards in terms of value? anyone have a Mantle Rookie or 52 Topps? Key Tobacco cards? Great modern stuff?

George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    Not one (1), but two (2) 1952 Mantle cards owned by the same collector…nice!

    I agree amazing cards. Congrats to everyone...what an assembly!

    Farmboy27 those Mantle cards are stunning...and wanting a 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson...I'm jealous of your 4.5. I agree that the 48 Leaf Jackie should not have a red tint...sort of like '62 green tint cards.

    Handyman...incredible unopened item.

    Balco...love the '87 Fleer PSA-10 Jordan as well as the '53 Mantle and '58 Jim Brown RC!

    bgr...very nice Gretzky RCs! And pristine Payton RC!

    countdouglas... very cool '75 sheets!

    Chicago1976...gorgeous color on Stan the Man. Love the T206!

    Keep 'em coming!

    Speaker and Matty are awesome! Love the Payton 10! AGR those are museum pieces. Farmboy with Mantle’s rookie both Jakie rookies and a couple of Mantle’s second year card to boot. A ton of gorgeous 70s cards and Monte’s unreal eye. A whole box of Williams!! Love the Musial Red Heart. Jordan and Gretzky too! Thanks everyone for sharing your treasures.

    I love love love all the Brett rookies. those 2 8's are FANTASTIC looking!!!

    I must admit, it makes me a little uneasy seeing that Schmidt rookie so close to the Bretts. I keep my Schmidt cards in a completely separate box from my Bretts, you know, for safety reasons...

    Always a pleasure to see the 4.5 1952 Mantle. The Babe cards are stunning, too!

    Craig, speaking of Schmidt mlb network just came out with a documentary episode about him. It was very good, Brett and Johnny Bench were both on it along with a few of Schmidt’s teammates.
    Check it out if you get a chance.

    Wow, some truly beautiful cards! Mine can't compare to the Mantles and Ruths (wow wow!) but here are a few of my favorites from the niche areas I collect.

    Woodstock, love the niche. And have been thinking along some similar lines. A nice PSA 9 Nasty Nick or Evil Eddie is on my target list. Also have been eyeballing a nice Sarah Michelle Gellar auto. Waiting for a better price but doubt it comes. Especially with her back on Dexter. May need to hurry up before she gets on other people's minds.

    Wow the number of outstanding Brett rookies is crazy. That card rarely looks as good as all the ones posted here. Mine has a fisheye and I am now filled with shame.
