pdub1819 · May 6, 2010 2:41PM

Here's my list:

1. Lou Gehrig - 1933 Goudey
2. Roberto Clemente - 1955 Topps
3. Mickey Mantle - 1952 Topps
4. Willie Mays - 1951 Bowman
5. Lou Gehrig - 1933 DeLong
6. Babe Ruth - 1933 Goudey #144
7. Stan Musial - 1952 Bowman
8. Mickey Mantle - 1951 Bowman
9. Sandy Koufax - 1955 Topps
10. Nolan Ryan - 1968 Topps

What's your top 10?

Don't have a top 10 since I'm not a big card collector anymore...

But - I would say the T3 Cobb in good condition would be a biggie for me.

Question: do these lists fit with your current collections? I could put together a list of the top ten cards in the hobby I'd like, but that wouldn't fit with my Will Clark collection. I'd really need two lists, I think. My top Will Clarks and my top baseball cards. Does that make sense? I should work on those lists, at least the Will Clark list...
