What is Your Favorite Card?

[yanksfan0134]

I love seeing threads that showcase all of your best hits but I would like to see what everyone's favorite card is. I want you to post your favorite (not most valuable) card and tell why exactly its your favorite :D

I couldn't choose one so I chose three. i picked these three because I'm a die hard Yankees fan and I just love how the old timers played.

Kind of cheating here but I had a Blowout member make some custom cards for me to send to spring training. I sent to 7 players and Travis Snider was the only one that mailed them back. He was already my favourite before, but this really made me happy:

This was the first card that I pulled that got me into the hobby.

Everyone seems to post threads asking for your favorite card, and then post 5 of their own or something.

Remember looking at Becketts as a kid and always thought it would be cool to own one of those cards (1951 Topps Red/Blue Backs).

[gopherfan]

1980 Topps Rickey Henderson RC

It was the first year I collected cards, and he was a favorite. I have always liked the base stealers.

Kenny Lofton, and now Ben Revere. Revere will end up being a favorite since he plays for the Twins.

I will have to go with either the Rendon because me and my girlfriend pulled it. But I love the Trumbo because I bought it for $300 when no one was giving him any credit and thought he would be positionless.

My favorite baseball card was my Nolan Ryan '87 Topps that I have since it was pulled at Christmas '87. Now it has been replaced by a Mike Scott Fan Favorites auto. It is the '87 design and he was my favorite Astros as a kid. He was dominant for a few years and led the league in K's one year. I got it from a member on here for less than $10. I will post a pic when I get home.

Too many to list but here is one

Heres the story I posted on another site:

I was 10 years old and less than 25 games into the season the Blue Jays traded away my favorite player, Jesse Barfield (damn you Al Leiter), to the Yankees.
I needed to find a new player to follow that I could watch somewhat often even though I was in Toronto.

I remember going to the LCS a good while after the trade and they had packs of 1983 Topps for sale!
I don't remember the cost but out of those 3 packs I pulled a Ryne Sandberg RC that I though was a really cool looking card.

Low and behold WGN was one of the few US stations I got that actually showed a decent amount of games (wanna say maybe 2-3 a week at the time) and I now had a favorite player.

I wore # 23 on my teams (baseball and hockey), wrote 23 on my glove (even though I played 3rd), collected his cards going forward, and always wanted his autograph on the Topps RC I pulled.
My favorite card outside of the RC was the 1991 Topps with the horizontal pic that had the 40 HRs bolded on the back as league leader.

Anyways, I have never been able to get the RC autographed, but when I found this for sale I figured it was the next best thing:

http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt151/ChrisAbateMMA/Baseball/Sandberg2-1.jpg

2001 Topps Archives Autograph

They dont come up for sale often but when they do they dont come cheap. Actually comes in at the 4th most expensive card I have ever purchased.

Anyways I was pretty stoked when I received it yesterday and it is now my favorite card within my collection!

Thanks for reading.

What? Believe it or not, those put your basketball cards to shame!! LOL, way to be a multi-sport master, like me!

[yanksfan0134]

Holy crap ! Your guys cards make mine look like absolute crap. Especially those ruth autos and barrel cards. Hopefully one day I can afford a card like that

[rarthur]

In mid 2009 I decided to buy a box of 2008 Donruss Threads baseball and pulled this and it's been my favorite card ever since.
