Assuming we've all been good, what card would you ask Santa, or anyone, to bring you? I haven't been that good, so I know I'm not getting any cards this year, but if I could, I'd ask Santa for a Hindu-backed Ed Killian/Pitching t206. However, I think the elves only made one back in 1910 or 1911, and someone already got it, so I'm out of luck. But how about you?

Fan Craze Sam Crawford

Mino Bender

...a low grade SGC-graded Ty Cobb card!

Scott

T210 Jackson would be nice.

The PSA 8 T206 Wagner....so I could sell and buy some really cool cards....

A T231 Fans card - maybe the undiscovered Walter Johnson one, or a Ruth!

If Santa brought me the PSA8 Wagner I'd sell it and buy a lowgrade T206 Wagner for <$250,000 then I'd take the rest of the money and pay off my house and bills and still have enough left over to bank and live off the interest.

Nice try....at least wish for the Bigbee as it might exist somewhere.....

I'm not hard to please....a 1933 Tattoo Orbit Dick Bartell SGC 40 or better

i'm with leon. that's like when the genie says you have 3 wishes and one of your wishes is for a million wishes. good thinking.

once i sold the aforementioned wagner, i'd get an e98 hippo vaughn. in the interest of preserving (somewhat) the integrity of the original post, i won't list the cards i'd buy after the vaughn, which would be many, given the windfall i'd be sitting on from the wagner sale)

e.g., T206 Wagner, Baltimore News Ruth, CJ Jackson, and the like, I'd be thrilled if Hanukkah Harry brought me one of these each night:

--1925 Benny leonard "Flying Fist" Exhibit
--T220 Silver Jas. J. Corbett
--1939-47 Salutations Exhibit Lou Gehrig
--1948-49 Leaf Satchel Paige
--1954 Bowman Ted Williams
--1934 Goudey Gehrig portrait
--1939 Play Ball Ted Williams
--1918 Zeenut Lefty O'Doul

Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc

I'm too old (and big) to ask Santa for a pony...

so, if we're talking pie in the sky, I'd like an N172 Norris O'Neill otherwise I'd settle for an N172 Jim Tyng or Ned Williamson & mascot.

w601 PC Pittsburgh

My pick would be: d381 Wagner with tab

just in case the elves have trouble with that... I would ask for an e94 Wagner (other than gold)

I could get ridiculous with Santa....
and ask for an e107 Wagner or a T206 Wagner -

but if there is a scale between deserving the e107 Wagner or coal - I may be closer to the coal.... so how could I ask?

A Honus Wagner Novelty Cutlery or PC796 Sepia Postcard. I know that's two, but its the same image. Thanks Santa!

J=K Carrigan or a signed T206, Looks like my toughest gems on my want list.

Rawn

e100 Weaver

w601 PC Detroit

1911 Zeenut Bohen

A D381 Ty Cobb ANY condition.

E. Lewin

I'd ask Santa whether I can buy the SGC 20 E94 Cobb (olive) for a few hundred dollars less than the price marked.

E107 Mathewson, Mint

happy holidays!

barry

1869 Peck and Snyder Cincinnati Red Stockings. Leon's (on the type card thread) would do!

I was going to say a T206 Honus Wagner, but in the interest of being realistic I'm going to say a N172 Bid McPhee.

Santa stopped bringing me stuff right around the age of 10. Never figured out why.

Assuming the rest of you gobbled up all the T206 Wagners, I'd take an 1888 Sporting Extra Cigarettes Chicago Tourists, wrapped in a couple of E221 Bishop Team cards.

Simple answer...
T206 O'Leary, hands on knees, Detroit with Broad leaf 460 back.

Art

Sounds like Santa's elves just didn't make enough of the cards you and I are after.

Guess that could be said for everyone's wish, except if there were more, it would drive down the price a lot are expecting to make from the sale after Santa's/Harry's vist to pay off the mortgage, college loans, etc.

1923-24 Exhibit Al Simmons

collector grade e104 wagner with a nadja back...that would be neat

I would be happy with any common Kalamazoo Bats baseball player. I have several actresses but it is not the same!!!!!!!! If not that,then a 1954 Wilsons Franks Ted Williams would be nice.


Merry Christmas from Don Miller

I'd like to have any Cal League N172 card in nice condition... ok, I'll take it in any condition...

If I can't have that then I don't want anything from that fat slob that will again disappoint me. Every year, all I ask for is cardboard, every year the fat guy doesn't come through... I'd think there was an elf out there somewhere that could come up with something from my want list (T210 Jackson, Baltimore News Ruth, T206 Wagner). It's not like I'm asking for the impossible...

N338-2 (SF Hess) Pretzel Getzien

Best Regards,
Joe Gonsowski

T210 Joe Jackson

I'd like a Horner cabinet of Smokey Joe, preferably without the dogbite.

Any of these:

L1 Walter Johnson
T204 Walter Johnson
Texas Tommy Walter Johnson
Darby Chocolates Walter Johnson
Plow's Walter Johnson
G&B Deasley

Bill

1915 Cracker Jack (Shoeless) Joe Jackson

 

marty

Kalamazoo Bats Pirates team card. Heck I'd even trade Santa some Old Judge cards for it if he didnt want to just give it to me!

R72 Schutter & Johnson No. 4 - "I'm Going To Be A Strongman" - in any condition.



Santa did get me my 2007 card, R21 Ripley's BION No. 34 - "The Great John L." , so maybe I'll get the Strongman card.

Butter Cream Babe Ruth

1915 CJ Joe Jackson --

of Chas. Ferguson

I'd love to find a Big Eater under the tree!

1915 Coveleski Zeenut

Texas Tommy- Joe JAckson

a low-grade E103 Chase or T215RC

Any E98 with a REAL Old Put back or I'll just take a Zeenut Thorpe as a stocking stuffer.

W600 Cobb

If I was very good this year, I'd ask Santa for a T205 Hoblitzell "No Stats." Since I'm not perfect, but good-hearted generally, I'd settle for a T202 with Joe Wood and Tris Speaker on it! I'd even replace Santa's milk and cookies with some jalepeno poppers and a good single malt if it helped...

Take Care,
Geno

and bring me this crazy Joe Doyle card






TED Z

T206 Herzog Boston National with any of the following backs:

Black Lenox
Uzit

Dear Santa,



For Christmas this year I would like a T207 Ward Miller card. If you can't find this then a T207 Vic Saier card would do just fine.





Love,



Little Kenny





P.S. I'm sorry about last year when I shot at Rudolph as I thought he was an alien from outer space with your sleigh. Also could you find it in your heart to let the Cubs win the World Series in 2009. It's been over 100 years.

Ken, regarding your last request: I'm afraid Santa can't help you on that one. In fact, I'm pretty sure at this point that even intervention from God won't help, sorry.

Really been craving a well graded 1940 Playball Dimaggio

Jeff,

If you are going to dream, DREAM BIG!!! Go Cubs Go!!


Kmac

I just want Jeff L. to come to a National !!!

Alan, I'd rather have the W600 Cobb

I'd be thrilled with any one of the following:

-t214 victory type
-t215 pirate type
-e99/e100 type

Just So Cy Young
N172 Anson in uniform
T206 Doyle, NY Nat'l
T210 Joe Jackson
N167 Mickey Welch

Ok, that's five. Sorry.
JimB

I would like to have:

1898 Cameo Pepsin Pin Louis Sockalexis
1913 E270 Colgans Tin Tops Walter Johnson (I wouldn't mind a Thrope or Jackson from the set as well)
1913 Zeenuts Harry Heilmann (for set I'm working on)
1911 D311 Pacific Coast Biscuits Roy Castleton
1911 Western Playground Roy Castleton



-Rhett

T210 Joe Jackson
or T213-1 Cobb

I've been really good..I deserve a SGC 10 Kalamazoo bat card of any player.

Ricky Y

Since I am Santa in my house (shhh), I would be happy to obtain a NM version of any of the following:
48 Leaf Musial
53 Bowman color Mathews & Campy
50 Bowman Berra
51 Bowman Mantle or Mays

But if I were to really be greedy and have a real Santa deliver something truly special, my needs would be far greater!
MINT examples of any of the following:
T200 Premium Cleveland
T206 Lajoie w/bat
Wagner PC (forgot the name of the issue, but the horizontal real photo of him just about to drop the bat after swinging)

Non-Reality: T206 Wagner, best condition 'ol Santa has.

Super Non-Reality: I would like the "yet to be discovered" Satchell Paige card from the early 1930's.

Reality: T206 Cobb green PSA 6

steve

IS this the Wags PC you are speaking of?

T200 Fatima NY Americans... in good shape of course!!!

tim...i agree...those t200 ny americans are darn tough...you just never see em'!

Hi Steve,
How do you distinguish the reality vs. non-reality criteria? I think I stayed strictly in the non-reality area.
JimB

Steve,

Do you mean this one?

Like to see this come to life as a Christmas miracle...

Haha! Whatsup with the Paige?

Steve,

It's not a card. It's a picture with an article in a Negro League magazine from 1934.

Since I doubt that Santa can wrestle the Jewish Grail away from one of the Board's distinguished members, I'll go for a CJ Jackson instead, a card I want almost enough to go back to work. Mark

I lurk here as it's a great place to learn about the items that I don't collect (can't afford them) but I love the images of Hughie Jennings and Santa can bring me this

1. Jim Bottomley 1923-24 Exhibit
2. close second, E98 Jack Coombs (red)

I would ask for all of Brian Weisner's rare back T206's



I truly am jealous of your collection Brian!! I will try to buy some of them from you at the next national so make sure to avoid me........


Dan

Dear Santa;

I've been as good as I know how to be, all year. Please choose from the following:

N28 Cap Anson, PSA 9
Diamond Stars #1 Lefty Grove, PSA 9
N28 King Kelly, PSA 9
Diamond Stars #99 Pie Traynor, PSA 9
N28 Chuckles Comisky, PSA 9

As a last resort, Keith Olbermann underoos, size 74.

Thank you. I will try to do better next year.

Bobby

T206, any player, with a Hustler back. They are out there somewhere!

I'd post my "wish" card, but don't want to get laughed off the playground.

As for the Cubs fans, just ain't gonna happen in '09. I was pulling big time for a Red Sox - Cubs WS last year, but the Cubs collapsed, as did my Red Sox team. Perhaps trashing Bartmann so badly, and blowing up the baseball (which was clearly and well into foul territory) upset the alignment of the Universe. There ain't enough cookies and milk you can lay out for Santa that will change the on-going destiny of the Cubs. Could be the Blogo thing putting some bad funk in the air.

I will say that my not long ago visit to the ballpark was very enjoyable, as was the scenery in nearby establishments! You folks know how to party before and after the games!!

PS, Shooting at Rudolph won't help your cause.

Merry Christmas and a great New Year to all.

It is one of Brian's cards that started this whole thread. Maybe we should ask Santa to take Brian's collection and bust it up amongst everyone on the board, so they all get something they want?



Where's cousin Eddie with the tenement on wheels when we really need him? Merry Christmas! Sh!tters full!



(edited because I can't spell)

A beat up e107 Detroit player would be just fine. Or maybe a bb gun.

I'm hoping Santa picked up the Gypsy Queen Kelly last night to leave in my stocking.

I think I've been as good as I can get this year...really I have!
So my Santa wishlist only has one card on it.

It shouldn't be too tough to find a T208 Cullivan's Fireside Eddie Plank...

I'll get up early on Thursday and check the stocking. I'll scan it and post it for those of you who were too naughty to get your own.


Brian L
familytoad
Ridgefield, WA

~~~~~Okay, maybe that won't be so easy, so a 38 Goudey Joe DiMaggio would be fine too~~~~

I would ask for either a purple e94 Wagner or a purple e94 Young (in particular, a very fine looking purple Young owned by a certain N54 Board member )

Cobb with Cobb back or N173 Cabinet Detroit any player.

Joe

Ty Cobb, Spikes flying!

1910 Punch Cigars Ty Cobb

Lave Cross

T206 St Louis versions of either O'hara or Demmitt.

T206, any player, with a Hustler back. They are out there somewhere!

Happy Collecting!!!!
Merry Christmas!!!!
Glen

Been kicking around the idea of putting together a small collection of Jackie Robinson cards. Post-war, I know, but it'd be pretty cool if "Santa" could hook me up with a Parade Sportive of Jackie -- or some other "card" of him in a Royals uni, if one exists.


Regards,

Richard.

1952 Red Man Ted Williams PSA 7 or 8 (2nd Greatest Player of All Time, after the Babe)
1933 Goudey #144 Ruth PSA 7 or 8.
I'd be happy with either!

It would be nice to have a N172 Anson in uniform.

Turkey Red Waddell

A 1941 Playball common in a sgc 84 or better holder.
I try and keep it short and sweet.

Dear Santa,

I was rather disappointed that you did not bring me the T207 Miller or Saier cards I wanted for Christmas. Also did you have anything to do with my Cubbies being swept in the playoffs for 2 years in a row? I don't think I can believe in you anymore and I think that I and Little Ronny Santo will be asking the "Easter Bunny" for any future favors.


Love,

Little Kenny

P.S. I hope you didn't have any problems with the x-lax tainted cookies that I exchanged for your regular cookies. Stressing the term "regular".

any t206 printer's scrap

1911 Zeenut Heitmuller or Lindsay
