OK so here is where I will put some of my Fave cards from my vast never ending collection. First off in my TCC BLOG I usually mention the latest cards I have gotten from Group Breaks, Ebay, Trades etc. I also try to mention those cards in the Mail Day board. I have some of my cards in My TCC Gallery but not very many and I don't think there is much traffic there. I think SHOW & TELL is the highest traffic area to show off part of my Collection. I'm a life-long fan of both the WASHINGTON REDSKINS and the LOS ANGELES/ST. LOUIS RAMS. Why the REDSKINS? Easy I was born and raised in the WASHINGTON DC area, they are my Homie Team. Why The RAMS? Well it maybe because I was born under the astrological sign of the ram. Anyway that is my story and I'm sticking with it. So Thus is why I am a RAMSKINS Fan. I've been collecting cards for most of my life, During my 20s-30s it was mostly off and on, so I have some gaps during the 80s-90s overproduced years. I think that was what turned me away from the hobby for a little while. Over the years my trading tastes have changed, I used to do the typical try to get the whole set, but with full sets being 100s of cards, plus a 100 or so inserts, you need to have access to more money than I have. My Signature has my want lists (I'm not sure how current they are, I need to update them I think) and main areas of interest. My main interests (in case you want to trade, sell or give me something) are: Current and Vintage (especially 60s & 70s), heck almost all years. NFL: Rams (L.A. & St. Louis), Redskins, HOFers (Mostly 1970s and back) MLB: Nationals (Thus Expos, heck I was into them in the early 70s because of the Red/White/Blue Logo), Senators, Orioles, some Mets and Rockies, - Vintage Teams: Senators, Pilots, 45's NHL: Capitals mostly with some HOFers. NBA: Not much into it but Bullets/Wizards is about it. If I can score some good MJ in Wizards or vintage Bullets Unis then great. I DON'T collect Letterman cards, and I'm going to phase out my GU eventually, it's mostly the concept of the things. That doesn't mean I won't admire the things. I collect Rookie cars, but I try to stay away from Sage and the College Only Products. I have some college cards, some of which I will keep of players I like, but I'm not going out of my way for them. Anyway one of my absolute fave cards I've had since way back when. I think it must have originally belonged to one of my Brothers when we were kids. It is one of my faves because it is my Birth year 1965: 1965 Topps Ernie Banks Another fave is: 1974 Topps Washington National League Team Card: Around 1973-1974 there were rumors the San Diego Padres were going to move to Washington DC to fill the gap that the Senators who skipped off to Texas to become the Rangers had left behind. Well we all know it took 33some years for Baseball to return to DC. So Topps produced about 15 cards marked with Washington NAT'L League using the Padres colors and regular photos. The only difference in the cards are the Team name, the card numbers on the backs are the same as the regular issue. The full set of both "Teams" is difficult to do, but not impossible. Somewhere I've got some dupes of a few of them since I had tried to build the team sets one-by-one but then when I reconnected with my local card shop one of the owners built a set for me. Next stop is to finally get the entire 1974 Topps Baseball set together. I used to be into the 1975 set back in the day, but now I'm not. NOTE: This first post is subject to updates. I hope you enjoy viewing this thread and occasionally track it.This post has been edited by captkirk42: Nov 27 2010, 11:22 PM

Ah Inserts. Some of my fave inserts are the Vintage inserts from the 1960s - 1970s. The Topps coins, the mini posters, the 4in1 mini booklets, the card games. 1968 TOPPS BASEBALL GAME INSERTSIn 1968 Topps put out a card game as inserts to the regular set. Each card has a star player, many of whom are now Hall Of Famers on the front with the result of an at bat. 1968 Topps Baseball HANK AARON Game Insert Card1968 Topps Baseball FRANK HOWARD Game Insert CardOne of my Fave Washington Senators NOTE: I may edit this post later to add some more Baseball here, I thought I had a scan of my Frank Robinson Game insert card, I guess I haven't yet. NOW ONTO FOOTBALL: As long as I can remember I've been a fan of both the Rams (I guess because I was born under the sign of Aries) and the Redskins (My Homie team). 1971 TOPPS FOOTBALL GAME INSERTSOne of my fave Insert sets is the 1971 Topps Football Card Game Inserts with the Mini Posters, the backs of which have the field for playing the game. Similar in theory to the 1968 Topps Baseball Card Game Inserts each card in this set has the end result of a play. I never played either game because I never had enough of either type of card, in fact I don't think I had more than one or two of those cards when I was little. I don't know what happened to them if I did. I am trying to build both sets, and also the Football Mini Poster Set. 1971 Topps Football JOE NAMATH Game Insert Card1971 Topps Football SONNY JURGENSEN Game Insert Card 1971 TOOPS FOOTBALL MINI POSTER INSERTSHere are a couple of the mini posters, of my 2 All-Time Fave QBs, Sonny Jurgensen - Redskins (Originally with Eagles) and Roman Gabriel - Rams (Ended career with Eagles). Oddly enough I'm not an Eagles fan. 1971 Topps Football SONNY JUREGENSEN Mini Poster Insert1971 Topps Football ROMAN GABRIEL Mini Poster Insert Here is probably the rarest card from the batch, but with the internet, it isn't difficult to track down. 1971 Topps Football Game Insert Field Marker Card1971 FOOTBALL CARD GAME INSERTS - MINI POSTER GAME FIELD This post has been edited by captkirk42: Feb 20 2009, 03:20 PM

One of my fave all-time REDSKINS quarterbacks is good old NUMBER 9 SONNY JURGENSENSonny started his NFL career on the EAGLES and was traded to the REDSKINS for Norm Snead and Claude Crabb in 1964. When I was a kid I had a very nice #9 Jersey. It was comfortable and I wore it a lot, over the years I had to save it from going into the goodwill pile or the pile of old shirts to be used for rags. Sometime during the '80s (late 80s I think) I lost track of it. Perhaps my mother finally gave it away then. Well at least I have memories of it, and a picture or two with me in it. 1968 TOPPS STAND-UP INSERT(I need to find a better centered version of this) 1971 TOPPS CARD GAME INSERT(The Mini-Poster/Playing Field I already scanned earlier in this thread) I love this card and this series, as well as the 1968 Baseball Game Insert set. EEK! I don't have any more SONNY J cards scanned at this time. WHY? Bummer because there are a few of his cards that are up there as my faves with the 1965 TOPPS ERNIE BANKSThis post has been edited by captkirk42: Feb 19 2009, 03:43 PM
