- '52 Bowman Mantle. The first expensive card I ever owned (that's an expensive card to me at least...not for some of you other guys on here..haha).
- '33 Goudey Ruth (red background). My first and only Ruth card.
- Tie between my '60, '61, and '66 Topps Mantles. All three are in absolutely awesome condition. Want to have them graded sometime soon, but I'm terrified of sending them through the mail.
Every card in my entire collection is raw, minus a '77 Topps Wax Pack with Ryan on the back (PSA 7).
Kiss me twice.....let's party.

Nothing in the 50s or before so:
60s - 66 Namath 8
70s - 76 Payton RC - 9
80s - 82 Marcus Allen RC - 9 -not high $$ but a big fan
90's - By Far overall favorite - 99 Don Elite Passing the Torch Walter Payton AUTO
00's - 2000 Don Elite Throwback Thread Autos - have most of the set but probably Bart Starr or Namath
Cool topic

It is not useless because I am pretty sure that everyone knows what these cards look like. If they did not know what they look like they probably would not be on this forum. Right?? If I say Vanilla ice cream is my favorite do you need a picture of the actual ice cream cone to know what I am talking about.
60's - 69 Pete Rose
70's - 1970 Nolan Ryan (First card I ever owned worth over $100 - paid $25 for it in 1989)
80's - 1984 Donruss Don Mattingly (Ahhh Memories)
90's- Any one of my 107 Peyton Manning RC's
00's - Ryan Howard Bowmans Best AUTO (Paid $10 for it four years ago)
20's - nothing of note
1933 Goudey Ruth PSA 4.5 the least expensive one
1948 Leaf Robinson SGC 86
1951 Bowman Mantle PSA 5
60'S - nothing of note
70's - Raw mint 1970 Don Kessinger
1986 Fleer Jordan PSA 8
Who remembers the Sesame Street song "One of these things just doesn't belong here"?
Kessinger was my best friend's favorite Cub. He was 8 at the time I was 5 ---- big influence on me

What I've noticed in my short time here...the expression "this thread is useless without scans" is a way many members state that they like to see some pics of the cards that the posters are talking about. It wasn't meant as a derogatory comment towards your thread; but IMO was more of a request for posters to include some scans of their cards. We all know what the cards look like, but as you know, exact cards can look completely different, depending on lots of factors. It's part of the fun of browsing the boards to see other people cards and conditions... take no offense as I'm sure none was meant... consider it "board slang"...
Nice cards Orioles

"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Here's one that I am partial to - I picked it up in a Greg Manning Auction in the early 90s - paid somewhere between 650 and 800$ - that's fer sure since I never spent more than 800$ for a card (and only once before that I remember) before the 2000s.
I think this turned out to be a good buy.

Well said.. You have to admit though, the remark about the ice cream cone was pretty damn funny. Made me laugh hard..especially considering how often you hear that phrase on the boards. I give "New Guy" Skywalker a +1 for humor.
Always buying Bobby Cox inserts. PM me.
My 1990 Topps Blackless cards are also some of my favorites.

what you are missing from your synopsis is the user that posted "this thread is useless without scans" is a total tool!
go over to the etopps boards and ask around. HE went there once the regs ran him out of here! I guess he is back? Since his "opinions" weren't well welcomed there either!

You should upload your photos on photobucket.com and then copy a link. This has worked best for me.
