What's your favorite vintage card in your collection?

It's not a card, but it's my favorite (and only) vintage item.

Tough call. I have my obligatory raft of RCs, but I think my favorite is a tie:
51-52 Parkhurst Maurice Richard RC
66-67 Topps Bobby Orr RC

My two favorite old timers, hands down. I am lookin' to upgrade, but in no hurry to do so.
 
My favorite card has to be a 1988 Topps Matt Williams card autographed in person at Zims Restaurant.

hmm, tough choice, but that would be my 1962 Fleer Fred Williamson RC #74. I have a lot of older cards, but this is one of my favorites. I have ungraded ones and a PSA EX 5 graded one. Here are my 1963 ones :)

1989 Score Derrick Thomas RC :p... as vintage as this kid gets

i do have a 1970 Topps Lem Barney RC here somewhere in crap condition... only card older than 1987 that I have
 
Not a paticular card, but its a:
1979/80 Topps hockey Tray(not rack) pack of three unopened 1979 packs,
packs and packaging are absolutley gorgeous shape. Easily 9.5/10 for gai grading. Plus these packs haven't been touched by any hands since them were placed in the tray in 79!
 
I have a 1954 topps Duke Snider that is my favorite card. Will show scan when I dig it out of a box in the closet--jc
 
I mainly collect Vintage but this is my favorite. Funny that I pick a common card as my favorite even over all my vintage Orr, Esposito, Hull, Howe, Richard cards...etc.

As a young kid (10 at the time) I was going crazy trying to get this card. I bought maybe 5-6 extra box of card to try and get it. He was just traded to my Leafs and I had to have it. All my buddies had it but wouldn't trade because to them he was part of the Canadiens team set. To this day I still have the card and treasure it as my favorite card.

Favorite vintage card

My favorite cards are my t206 cards 1909-1911. I like my Christy Mathewson and Walter Johnson cards the most.
 
Vintage

I just got back my first vintage PSA 10 card -- 1961 Fleer Del Shofner so that is now my new favorite!
 
Best Uncle Ever

Here's a little story about how I started in this wonderful hobby. Back in 1988, I was around 10, My Uncle Mike gave me a gift I will never forget, a cigar box full of mid 1960's to early 1970's baseball cards from his childhood!!! He had somehow avoided the cliche story of "My mom threw out all my cards" that I had heard from my Dad so many times, and put aside this cigar box for years. He told me about the cards a little bit before giving them to me, and said they were in good condition and he knew a couple would probably be valuable. Imagine the excitement and thoughts running through my head as a 10 year old as I tried to picture the gift I was about to receive. The cigar box had a few hundred cards neatly stacked and in great condition. I want to give thanks to my Uncle Mike for really giving me a head start in this hobby. Here are my top 3 although the Mantle is definitely my all time favorite! All 3 1969 Topps

1.Johnny Bench (2nd year, Gold Statue is classic and Bench looks like he's 12
2.Mr.October RC
3.Mickey Mantle ( Mantle white letter variation SP, besides it being off-centered the card is a BEAUTY
