The 5 Most Famous Baseball Cards

!±8± The 5 Most Famous Baseball Cards

When you ask baseball card collectors which cards they would most like to get your hands on, most would agree on the top two - the T206 Honus Wagner and the 1914 Babe Ruth. There would probably be some disagreement after that, however. While condition of the card and market conditions certainly carry considerable influence over values, the following list includes five of the most valuable and recognizable cards in the baseball card collecting hobby.

Honus Wagner T206 - The most well-known rookie card in the baseball card collecting community, the Honus Wagner is generally treated as a work of art. It was included in the T206 set between 1909 and 1911 by the American Tobacco Company. Due to a dispute with the American Tobacco Company, between 50 and 200 cards were released to the public. The reasons behind the dispute continue to be questioned - whether Wagner didn't want his likeness included in packages of cigarettes or whether he wanted additional compensation. Whatever the reason, this limited availability made the T206 Honus Wagner the first valuable baseball card. Today, the card remains both an investment and a symbol of stature, as many famous individuals have bought or sold the card.

1914 Baltimore Sun Babe Ruth - printed in 1914 by the Baltimore Sun newspaper, the Babe Ruth rookie card has become the second-most valuable baseball card in the hobby. This 1914 set included Ruth with his Baltimore Orioles teammates, as well as the International League's Terrapins. The cards were available in blue or red and included a team schedule on the back. Given the overwhelming continued popularity of Babe Ruth with baseball card collectors, it is quite possible that this card will eventually replace the Honus Wagner as the most valuable card. For now, it stands as a firm number two with collectors.

1952 Topps Mickey Mantle - this Mickey Mantle card has been a darling of the baseball card collecting community for many years. The value of this Mantle card has fluctuated in price a bit over the past couple of decades, but remains popular with collectors and is widely considered the most valuable of cards printed during Mantle's career.

1951 Bowman Willie Mays - A PSA 9 Bowman Willie Mays card sold in a 2007 auction for over ,000, further establishing the card as one of the elite cards with collectors.

1933 Goudey Babe Ruth - of all Babe Ruth cards printed during his storied career, his 1933 Goudey cards remain the most widely recognizable. The 1933 Goudey issue included four Babe Ruth cards, reflective of his stature in the sport and in the hobby.

Honorable mention for top cards would have to go to the 1939 Play Ball Ted Williams and the 1949 Bowman Satchel Paige. Despite a spectacular career with the Boston Red Sox, the Splendid Splinter's rookie card is generally valued at a considerably price than Mantle's 1952 rookie card. While carrying a classic look, the 1939 Ted Williams is printed in black and white and visually is just not a particularly memorable card. Arguably the biggest name from the Negro Leagues, Satchel Paige had a brilliant career with relatively few baseball cards in circulation today. As a result, this card is seen priced at close to six figures in mint condition.

Rounding out the top ten would be an even more controversial task - Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb, Hank Aaron, Lou Gehrig, Jackie Robinson, and several others could deserve a seat at that table.

Black & Decker Dirt Buster exhaustion FV5000

My neighbor was throwing this out so I snagged it uop! You can remove the handle to make it a hand vac. Also the hose attaches to the bottom similar to how a Hoover Convertible does, although it's missing what I think is a dusting brush. My six-year-old son uses it to clean his room because of it's lightweight design.

Vacuum Cleaner Review

!±8± Vacuum Cleaner Review

Choosing the correct vacuum cleaner can be a tough job, but think of your requirements and check the features the cleaner has to offer and then choosing the correct one will be much easier.
There are several factors for selecting a vacuum cleaner based on the user's preferences. There are three ways of selecting which would typically reveal the true performance and real value of the cleaner, namely based on features, value (price), and on consumer reviews.

One of the best priced vacuum cleaners would be the Hoover U5140-900 Wide Path, priced at around , is a bagged upright model that holds on its own. Moreover the wide path system makes the cleaning of floors and carpets easier.

Hoover U5507-900 Elite Auto Rewind is a bag-less one, with seven height adjustment settings, HEPA filtration system, and the air flow indicator, this model of Hoover vacuum cleaner is made for modest budget without sacrificing basic quality. The stretch hose system is a special feature of the Hoovers is well known for its user friendliness and easy reach. I would personally prefer this model for sheer convenience.
Bissell 2080 Quick Steamer Power Brush is one of the favorites among public, because of its easy steam cleaning which is effective and financially viable. It gets my vote too in terms of being a low cost high quality machine.

I have also noticed that the Dyson DC17 is also one of the best vacuum cleaners as rated by consumers. Its allergy and asthma certified HEPA filters and powerful suction can grab pet hairs also from deep within carpets and furniture. Thus it has become a favorite for the pet owners.

Going for the high end consumers, where price affordability is not a factor, there can be few more options from both Hoover and Dyson.

Dyson DC25 All Floors comes for 0, and from the name itself it can be said that the cleaner works fine over carpet and any type of floors as well. Although expensive the machine's performance is worth the money. It weighs 16 pounds but as it is mounted on a rolling ball it is easy to move it. This is probably the best vacuum cleaner to go for.

Hoover Platinum Bagged Upright with Canister UH30010COM it's the lightest, weighing 13 pounds and it's easy to carry it up and down the stairs. But the separate mini-canister vacuum which is required for cleaning other areas except carpet harms its handy reputation. It is priced at 0. Though I have personally not used it, friends are happy with its performance.

Bissell CleanView Helix Delux 21K3 priced at 0 is a bag-less vacuum cleaner which collects dust in a separate removable bin; this saves you from buying and replacing new bags.

Thus, I would say that you must match your requirements with the features available in the models and then decide which vacuum cleaner to go for.
