1) '52 Bowman (without typical poor register or print defects, of course)
2) '51 Bowman
3) '53 Bowman (but only if the sky is blue (not pinkish) and only if the typical white print dot on Mantle's chin is not present)
4) '54 Stahl-Meyer (or Dan Dee)
5) 1953 Topps or 1956 Topps (depends upon my mood)

I mean Josh Gibson.
