What is your favorite Joe Morgan card?
 
Joe Morgan cards are awesome!

What is your favorite card or memorabilia of the Hall of Famer, 10 X All Star and 2 X World Series Champion? Please add any thoughts or opinions on Morgan's career.

I have a thing for mid 70s cards and the AS banners/badges they used. A lot of cool cards in that era, but I suppose my favorite Morgan cards would be his 66 Topps and his 71 Topps.

1974, 1977 & 1979 get honorable mention.

1966 Joe Morgan!

I, too, love his 1976 card. There is something really stately about it.

Here are a couple regional issues of Joe Morgan. I like the oddball stuff.

Never understood why the helmet on the '76 card was airbrushed?

I always loved 1966, especially with the Topps rookie trophy

And don't forget, two-time NL MVP. Not many ballplayers can claim 2 MVPs.

My favorite cards are the '71 and '77 Topps as well as the 1966 Sports Illustrated with he and Sonny Jackson. The below photos are not mine, but I do have a signed copy (by both) of the SI.

Great thread! A lot of great choices for Joe Morgan. My favorite is the 73 Topps. I wish the 73 I posted was mine.

When I was a kid we all used to imitate his batting style of banging his back elbow against his body; although no one knew why he did it! In 1975 and '76 Joe Morgan was the best player on the planet. Why did Houston ever trade him?

Way cool:
