Show us your best condition prewar card

What's the nicest condition/highest grade prewar card in your collection?

I don't have many, but here's mine: E92 Dockman Schaefer. I'm guessing it would grade a SGC 50 or 60? Love the color.

Honorable mention to my E270 Red Border Evers SGC 60.

Now if Quan would only trade me his CJ Matty, I'll have to amend this post

one of my good ones

I'm actually hoping to not own it that much longer, now that I've shifted focus yet again:

I have had this for several years. If I had to buy it now, no way I would/could.

I'm not sure if I show this card as much as Jay shows his Thorpe but you will see it from time to time until I kick the Bucket, then you will see it once more in REA and then it will be in somebody else's collection.

that e92 cobb is awesome. not sure of the pop but are there more NM and above e95 cobbs than all the e92 cobbs combined? (hypothetical question)

I don't really like graded cards and the few I have in my collection are all low grades. This one probably presents the nicest of all my prewar cards.

I do not know re the population difference in the two Cobbs. I do know that in any grade I see way more of the E95 than the E92.

My collection is thin on graded cards, especially in the high grades. This is one of the few:

This is my best condition card:



And I also have an SGC 50 T-206 Shag Shaugnessy. But I'd rather show the Kotton.

recently sold but prob was my nicest Fan Craze card

Eric, that T216 Gibson is a real beauty. Looks far nicer than the grade. I'm guessing a light crease at the top brought the grade down? Awesome card, I'll take 4's that look like that any day!

I have a few at this level but nothing too much better

Here is mine...

Here is the highest I have ever owned:



Here is the highest I now own:

Can't find the scan, but I do have a PSA 7 T202, I have owned other SGC 84 and PSA 7's in T206 and T202s but have always sold them off to pay for other purchases.

Thanks Ben. High grade T216's are tough to find.....and a 4 is definitely high grade. Actually there are no creases on the card. Should have probably graded higher.

Great cards all.....

I have a Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb prewar two card set...both in PSA 10 holders. I believe there are only a few prewar Ruth 10's out of all the sets ever made. IMO regardless of what it looks like, it still has value.

Ah, but this was my discovery about 13 years ago and is still my secret. I tried to get them listed in the book but was told they are too obscure. So now I just tell and not show. .

So for now I give you these:
