I really dig my
1956 Topps Ted Williams PSA 6
Although, I just got a cool card in the mail that I really dig:
2006 Topps Triple Threads Schilling/Ortiz/Ramirez Triple Relic Gold 9/9

As for a favorite pull, I would have to say pulling a 1990 Upper Deck Dave Justice RC. It's close to worthless these days, but I was really excited at the time.

My all-time fave card is a 1979 Topps Rollie Fingers... it was the first card I ever had, and I remember thinking when I was 8-9 years old that the pic had a real "old-time" look to it, with Rollie's funky 'stache and all that. My second all-time fave card is the 1955 Topps Tom Qualters for a number of reasons:
a.) it sounds like a made-up name by a bad novelist (apoligies to any Qualterses out there)
b.) On the card, he looks like a 15-year-old farmboy dork, stoned and witless;
c.) At the point that the card was issued, his pitching career line thus far on the back of the card was like - one game, one inning, 5 walks, six earned runs, something tragic like that. I guess I just love others' misery. HA HA Does that make me a bad person?

In my collection, my fave single card is my Kevin Maas RC. HAHAHA just kidding. It's really probably my '65 Topps Mantle; after that, I have an old cabinet card that I have spent years trying to ID with no luck. Lastly, I have a Don Mattingly Minor League card I like a lot.

In terms of sets, I'm partial to the color blue, so my favority card sets are the 87 Fleer, the Fleer Brilliants Blue (from '99 or so), 1993 Select Rookie/Traded and the 1997 Pinnacle Totally Certified Platinum Blue. They just look sweet. The '93 SRT's are my all-time faves, I think.

Cheers

Mine is my 1984 opc Mattingly RC PSA 9. Not worth much but he is my favorite player of all time and I grew up watching him so it holds some sentimental value.

A close 2nd would be any of my Mike Bossy Autos. (Favorite Hockey player)

I'm a set builder and don't really collect certain players or teams, so my favorite card changes often. It's usually going to be a recent pick up for one of my sets. Right now, it'd have to be one of these recent pick ups.

My best pack: Cant say I usually just get depressed when I figure out what I could have bought on ebay compared to the junk I opened up.

oh and why are the sn's covered up gotsparks?

I block out the serial numbers and bar codes on all my graded cards that are online, where everyone can see them. A lot of scam artists out there will steal scans of cards and put them up on Ebay as their own. I would hate to be trolling around ebay and see some jerk using my scan to rip someone off. Granted, my cards aren't worth a lot, but scammers could still use them. And while this isn't foolproof, I think most of us wouldn't buy a graded card on ebay that had the bar code and SN crossed off.

Anyway, there is no reason why I need the serial numbers and bar codes on there, when I'm looking at them in my photobucket, and it only takes two seconds to block them out. It's the simplest and quickest way to prevent scam artists stealing your graded card scans (in my opinion).

I would encourage you all to do this (or use some other form to protect your scans like watermarks). The more people that do this, the less chances are available for scammers. The hobby has come under attack in recent years because of these jerks, and the good guys have to start fighting back.

I would have to say my favorite cards, if you want to call them that, are my
Nolan Ryan Highland Mint 92 Topps Replica Gold, Silver and Bronze cards.

I have had all of them since 1995 and the amazing thing is I bought the Bronze for $10.00 and traded less than $200.00 in Rookie cards to one person for the Gold and Silver.
