You can have one post-war Ted Williams card...

Setting aside the question of cost, I think the 1956 Topps Ted Willams is one of the top ten cards ever produced.

'48 Leaf. Preferably centered and w/o the print schmack, which takes it out of my affordability range. The red background enhances the image beautifully.

Figured I would post images of these two since they were mentioned as favorites. I do like them both a lot, but still choose his 51 Bowman as my favorite.

These are not mine by the way.

Thanks,

I like the 1952 Red Man. I am also a fan of the 1956 Topps.

Beautiful cards, guys. My vote is for '56 Topps.

I'm going for the '54 Wilson Franks. Any card that has franks on it is ok in my book.

My favorite non-Yankees player when I was a kid growing up in the 1950's.

Does anybody have any thoughts as to why there is a puffy white appearance behind the signature on the '56 card?

[bbcard1]

gman, it think the white airbrush/retouch was a simple device from keeping it from blending into the background...I actually think that is one of the things I find most attractive about the card.

The Wilson Franks would be my top choice, but that card is pricey, even in low grade. So I'd say it's a toss up between '50 Bowman and '54 Topps #1 or #250 (The '54 Topps #250 has one of the coolest backs found on a card, ever )...

I am a big fan of the 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set. Great photos and not too costly on the budget. The Number 2 with Babe and #70 with Thorpe are my Favorite.


Even the Wrappers are pretty Cool!

I've always liked both of the 1954 Topps.
