Though the condition is not great, this is my favorite card to look at:
Favorite player; favorite set; a card that is representative of the concept of baseball cards. This is a scan of the actual card I used to keep in my desk in school, way back in '78. I love the color, the script "Twins", and the supercool All Star shield icon.
PS: this card was also a milestone of sorts for me. It was from the last year that all my friends traded cards. The next year (1979) we all entered that abyss known as junior high. While I continued to collect cards into high school, all my "cool" friends stopped. I was ridiculed a lot for still collecting (and for other reasons, too!), but maintained my card relationship til about 1984, when I stopped for a few years.
I love this card!
