    Let's hear it, members and moderators.

    Mine is Jim Walewander, 1988 Topps.
    Because I make this same face about 20 times a day.

    The entire 1953 set—all painted images—is amazing. With this Satchell Paige card, it feels like you can see his entire life story on his face.

    Any more pictures of these painted sets? The card you posted looks great. I've never collected a single card in my life. But there's something great about a painted card versus the high-definition photos in today's sets.

    Some of the early Upper Deck baseball and football sets from 1990-92 -- football in particular -- were amazing. They had action shots instead of portraits on the front, and the pictures were incredibly sharp. I've kept cards of guys who were scrubs just because I loved the photography.

    Not necessarily a favorite, but I was obsessive about alphabetizing my sets as a kid and darned if he wasn't first every time:

    Not a favorite, but 1978 was the first year I collected religiously, and I swear I had about 80 of this card and none of several others. The reason I remembered it was I often played the game on the card backs. Bombo's was a home run.
