The 1962 Mantle/Mays (#18) is the most gorgeous of these. I also like the '66 with Aaron, Clemente and Mays (215) and the '63 with the severed heads of 5 HOFers on it. |

Peter IMHO the presence of Bauer detracts from that 53 Bowman. The 62 Topps I mentioned is not a LL - you'd be hard pressed to have Mantle and Mays on the same LL card! |

I'm glad to hear you say that and it is what I was noticing as well...these cards are not prized and premiums are not assigned...-which makes them even more attractive to me these days! |

Anyone ever compiled a checklist of these cards that they would like to share? |

I just re-read my issue of Baseball Cards Magazine from Fall of 1982 the other day, and they had a comprehensive list of combo cards (by player) at least for Topps and if I remember correctly, Bowman. I'll try and remember to scan the relevant pages this evening. |

combo cards are great...especially for getting autos. I was able to snag this from ebay about a year ago: |

I don't think they are dark as much as the contrast is pumped a bit. The flips read the right white point reading on my browser. |

I always dug the combos and never understood why they got less respect. However, even a HOFer by himself on an All Star is considered a lesser value than that same player on his own "regular" player card (as a general rule, not including some scarce series, etc.) Collect what you like, I say!! Anyway, I had my Toops '58 within arms reach so here's a few I pulled. And don't forget those O'Brien brothers on the Topps '54. |

I personally hate nearly all combo cards. I especially hate combo cards with Mantle. Not that I dislike Mantle cards, but there always seems to be multiple Mantle combo cards in nearly every set in the 50's and 60's (WS, LL, team, etc.), and they normally sell for far more than I like to pay for these type of cards. I would have rather seen multiple REAL cards of the same player in the same year. I'm looking forward to one day putting together the 1954 set purchasing two different Ted Williams (real cards). |

Nice combo cards. The Obrien brothers in the '54 Topps card is an underrated card. It was Topps first attempt at a combo card and people forget that the twins really were pretty good ballplayers. Card is difficult to find in nice condition. |

i don't want to speak for peter but i think he means they are not popular with collectors. an example would be that if ted williams had a card in the 59 topps set it would be more popular/expensive than any card in the 59 ted williams fleer set.(EXCEPT THE SHORT PRINT) another example is the fleer greats 1960 set has a ted williams card and he was still active but the nature of this set (old-timers) makes that williams card less valuable than if he had a card in the '60 topps set.well back on topic here's a couple of my favorites. |
