Best Baseball Card pix

The most beautiful card ever made ...




My other personal fav. is the 1984 Fleer card of Gaylord Perry and George Brett in the "Pine Tar bat" card.

That and a Donruss cards of the San Diego Chicken.

 

Now, this is the best card I own...

 

Best cards I opened out of a packet with my own hands when I was a kid.

 

God. Damn. That. Montana card.

My senior year of HS (1991), a kid down the street got me back into the card-collecting thing. At the time, I had a freaking shitload of cards in shoeboxes in my closet. Found three boxes full of football cards from the year of the Montana posted above. So I start searching, figuring I'm bound to have AT LEAST one of those bad boys.

So I start looking ... and looking ... and looking ... and looking ... and looking ... and finally, in the third box, I see printed on the back of a card "San Francisco QB"

FUCK. YES. That's gonna be worth HUNDREDS of freaking dollars at the card place down the street. So I turn it over and who's staring me dead in the eyes?

STEVE. MOTHERFUCKING. DEBERG.

Cocksucker.

 

What I love is the 70s era Topps cards. Back in the day, they had no competition and I think, as such, they often didn't even try when it came to photo selection. Two examples:




Meoli was no superstar, but I'm sure they could have caught him doing something else.
Brett, of course, looks like he was caught on the far end of a telephoto lense.

 

I got this card more than any other in the 1980s



Other favs from that set:

 

Looks like he is masturbating....



The oldest 53-year old in recorded history.

 

I was way disappointed this wasn't the post that started the thread. Thanks to the noob, my disappointment was short-lived.
