This Elway has been in my collection for a long while now. It brings together the best of both of my favorite sport teams worlds. Seeing that young John Elway sporting those pinstripes always makes me smile!
A gold version of the Captain's farewell salute to the fans in the Bronx. It's an iconic moment for this Yankee fan. Not much else I can say about it.
Lastly, I'll go with this recent pickup. Lately, I'm really digging the oddball vintage stuff. This is not only my first card from the 1961 Post set, but it's also my first 'real', non-modern day, Whitey Ford. I've found myself looking at this card over and over again in the relatively short time I've had it.
There you have 'em! These are my current three favorite cards(that I've already shared). Though this was kinda cheating, I must say that both the Elway and the Jeter would have legitimate chances to crack my true top three on any given day, but there are some really great cards that will be shared sometime in the future.
Thanks for an entertaining read Frankie, keep up the great writing.
that Elway is awesome never seen that photo. I'm sure you have them but I have a few Elway doubles I'll send your way
ReplyDeleteYeah, that Elway came out somewhere around 1998 or so. I wrote a post about it early in my blog's history if you're interested.
DeleteNow I've gotta pick up one of those Jeter's!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love that Jeter, I've had to fight the urge to go for the 'rainbow'. It helps that there is no way I'd have the funds needed.
DeleteThree very unique choices!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I was at least going for some unconventional choices. Some of the others are definitely a little more 'normal'.
DeleteCan't go wrong with Post.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!
