Cards as art - one each, Topps ‘52 to current?
 
I’m guessing others may have done something like this.... but would love to see/hear good ideas from others who may have created displays of Topps cards from ‘52 to current (or maybe a variation, thereof). Not star or HOF necessarily, but could be, I suppose. Trying to do this semi-affordably

Trying to imagine a cool way to lay out and display a great example of a run of cards like this, all Topps issues since the start ... or maybe Pre-War collectors have another spin on the same idea?

All ideas are welcomed - I’ll show mine once I come up with a plan (maybe all catchers as sample, ‘52 to 2021? Rotate positions 1 to 9 over and over again? Maybe only Red Sox for the run?)

Thx for any suggestions.

1948 :rolleyes:

Sounds fun! I'll give it some thought.

Thought about 48 but it is a subset and not a stand alone. And if you include it do you have the include other supplemental or insert sets. What are the rules :)

Even for 51, do you pick one or include all 5 sets ?

This is getting hard. I actually did a binder for a friend some years back that included one card from 1951 ( used a Red back) through 1986,

Did not include 48 because I had no extras :-{

I had thought of doing this but just from 1951-1985. My goal was to pick 35 top players and have one of their cards and to not repeat a design/year. Each card would be a regular card, no multi-player rookies or other subsets. I never had the chance to follow through and now prices have gone ballistic, so it is not going to happen.
