Show Off Your 4 Cornerstones of your PC...

[AK11]

I saw this idea on another forum, so I thought we could try this out since we could always use another show off thread. Try to pick 4 and only 4 cornerstones to your collection. There are 4 bases on a diamond, so 4 cornerstones for a baseball pc should be fitting. Hopefully people share what they have whether it is favorites or most valuable or whatever you deem a "cornerstone". Here's mine to start off:

I collect multiple sports, so the true 4 cornerstones of my whole pc varies from this, but for baseball, it works. Alright, let's see some nice cards...

 

[Nate Colbert 17]

Walter Johnson and Christy Mathewson T206's, a Tug Arundel Old Judge

and of course...

This cornerstone represents my favorite team, the St. Louis Cardinals.

This cornerstone stands for All-Stars and also good, old-fashioned, pack-pulled cards.

This card of the greatest baseball player of the last 10+ years also represents my collection of in-person autographs.

I love sending cards through the mail, and this Niekro is one of my favorite TTM cards.
