Top 3 favorite individual sports cards?

[jake33]

In the game used industry, many of us at one point collected cards, and some of us still do as well. Just curious, if you had to name your top 3 favorite sports cards that you do or do not own, what are they? Could be ones with high value, or just ones that you like the look of so some particular reason.

Great topic. I'm going to kick this around and reply in a bit...

Ok. I went with cards in my collection. I just like these 3 the best. For baseball:

1. I love the color tv 1955 Bowman look.
2. I have had that 1969 Bench since I was 12. I always loved the gold cup Topps card, and I always loved how young Johnny looked on it.
3. I love Nuxy! If you live in Cincinnati and don't, I don't know what to say!!

One of my favorite Brunell cards:

A close second would be the Playoff Edge Gameball card with him and Elway, commemorating the biggest win so far for the Jags!

#1 1967 Topps Tom Seaver rookie card, my favorite player growing up, the last card I needed for my Mets collection.

#2 1975 Topps Johnny Briggs, We are from the same hometown, I got the card in a pack in '75 and knocked on his door and asked him to sign it for me, still have the card.

#3 1974 Wonder Bread Larry Csonka, I think I tore the store shelf apart looking for a loaf that had Csonka or Griese,
