Default Suggestions for some visually appealing non-RC HoF



Quick back story: Way back in 1999 my family took a road trip up to NY to see Nolan Ryan's induction into the Hall of Fame. They had an event where kids (I was 12 at the time) got into an autograph signing and we got post cards signed as well as the personalized sheet that is hopefully showing up in this post. I've decided to display this along with some pretty sweet career contemporary card (preferably non-RC). So my question is do y'all have any suggestions? By the way, I plan on putting multiples of some players (such as Ryan with all four teams and Spahn in both Milwaukee and Boston). Thanks for the help!

Player list:
Nolan Ryan
Orlando Cepeda
Harmon Killebrew
Juan Marichal
Tom Seaver
Enos Slaughter
Mike Schmidt
Rollie Fingers
Don Sutton
Yogi Berra
Phil Neikro
Warren Spahn
Al Kaline
Lou Brock

For Nolan Ryan, I think his best looking cards for each team are '69 (Mets) '74 (Angels), '82 (Astros) and '91 (Rangers).









For Spahn, I love his '53 Topps.

I've always like the 1980 Topps Nolan Ryan card. Similar action shot to the 1974, but with an A.L. All Star banner.

For Seaver, you might consider going a little exotic with his 1971 Bazooka. Sorry for the grainy lines in the scan. They're not in the card.

I do like that 71 Bazooka! One of my favorite things about this site is finding out/ learning more about the non-Topps/Bowman releases.

The 71 Topps Nolan Ryan is my favorite. It's as if he was waiting to be anointed the strikeout king, just exploding out of the Royal Crown sign

I also like the '72 Topps Ryan. Great portrait shot and one of the very few examples of a good Topps cap airbrush job.

For me, the 1953 Bowman is Warren Spahn's best looking card.

I can't post a photo at the moment, but Spahn's exhibit card is pretty awesome too.

I second Bill's nod to the 53 bowman Spahn, one of the best baseball cards ever made!
