This is not necessarily one you own, or what has the highest grade, or what is the most valueable. I'm looking for which cards you like esthetically. As I've begun my short journey into vintage, I've come to realize how much more out there there is, mostnof which I've never seen and I'd love to see some pics of some of the cool and interesting stuff out there that people like. If I'm not the only one that enjoys this sort of thing, then perhaps we can do this with other players and eras.

As for Wagner, I'm sure I haven't seen everything, but I absolutly fell in love with this card when I saw it

Leon,

Thats a great card :!: Wagner to me has this worn look to his appearance - like he has experienced a busy life. It really comes across in this card and the Cracker Jack above.

Edited to add - I like the M110 Sporting Life Cabinet that they have for sale in REA

My father-in-law, who was raised in Pittsburgh, found this card in his grandpa's papers after his death. It was issued after his playing days, sometime around 1944. It's in the SCD book, but not a lot of info is known about it. Speculation is that it was printed for Honus to hand out kind of like a business card as a company spokesman. Because of its regional flavor and personal story, it's my favorite. Plus, everything is better with bacon!

Not vintage, but since a couple mentioned modern Wagner cards, I thought I would post this since definitely going to be hard to ever find too many Wagner patch cards:

I won this in a contest in the 90s - second place. First place was the real deal.

It is a phone card.
