Willie mays card
 

Im looking at purchasing either the 53 topps mays or 52 bowman mays but need help deciding. Both are awesome images but would like peoples opinions on which they prefer

I don't think you can go wrong with either one.I would pick the Bowman.It has always been one of my favorite Mays cards.

I find the size of the 52 bowman set to be a bit of a disappointment. The cards are tiny. But, you have to buy what you like.

I'm confused. In your thread " Which Card " , you asked if you should purchase a 56 Topps Mantle or a 52 Bowman Mays. You posted the 52 Bowman Mays as the card you purchased. Are you considering buying another 52 Bowman Mays card?

Long range perspective
 

Chris, i wasn't disappointed by the size when i opened Bowman packs in 1952, but my hands were a lot smaller then - even tiny, i guess...;)

Haha, fair enough :). OP, if you have small hands, please disregard my post.

I vote '53 Topps
 

'53 Mays is one of my all time favorites.. So I have two:D

I would go with the 53 Topps personally, but I don't think your making a bad decision with either card. Good Luck

53
 

My vote goes to the 53 Topps.

If I had to rank all of Willie's cards, I'm not sure I could put one of those two over the other. They definitely are two of his most visually appealing cards. Why not go for both? :)

I know this isn't one of the choices but I've always liked the 52 Topps over the rest of his cards. Between those two cards though I would go with the 52 Bowman.

I am with you Clint. I favor his 52 Topps card, and even the 54, over the 53
