Most significant or sought after postwar cards (besides Mantle)

[hcv123]

1) 1955 Clemente - Iconic rookie of an iconic player (Also my favorite personally). A difficult card to find well centered. The key to the 55 set.
2) 1952 Topps Willie Mays - First Topps card of Mays - another Iconic player from the Iconic postwar set. After mantle one of the keys to the 52 set.
3) 1954 Topps Aaron - Grossly underappreciated in his lifetime - a third Iconic player and the key to the 54 set.
4) 1963 Topps Rose - One of the most loved players ever to play the game. Key to the 63 set and a really cool card.
5) 1968 Topps 3-D Clemente - Probably the most valuable of the more readily available "test" cards and one of the most valuable of the 50's-70's. Hard enough to find that it is on many want lists. Expensive enough that it will stay on many want lists. Also a shining example of Topps willingness to play with new ideas. A spectacular symbol of 1960's culture, baseball and Clemente!
