If you can only have 1 baseball card, what would it be and why. Mine would be the 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle. Mantle was my father's favorite player and this is is rookie, plus it is a sweet looking card. I finally picked one up last year but since I can have more than one card I need to continue my collection.

    For good time sake , I'd love to have a Mike Bossy 1987 Topps Psa 9 , to see if the advanced formula Midol is all its cracked up to be.

    What say yee?

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On a less serious note , I really do not have an all time favorite card. I stand in awe of some of the cards that some of the great collections have. I know there is a T-206 PSA 10 that I'd love to see close up (trimmed like the Wagner ?).

    Gotta go with a Sporting News Babe Ruth rookie.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    Nice choice. I have a well centered Gibby RC 50/50 L/R with 45/55 T/B, but its a little rough, would say EX-MT. I need to sub it. I think a pack fresh with gloss centered would be an incredible find.

    If money was not a factor then a 1933 Goudey Dizzy Dean. Or a 1954 Topps Gordie Howe PSA 9. Or a mint 1955 Parkhurst Quaker Oats Rocket Richard. Or a mint 1966 Topps Bobby Orr rookie. Or a....oh, crap. You only asked for one!

    Nice! That would be a close second for me. Good luck finding one.
