Default E92 Matty
Yes, yes, yes - E92 Mathewson is a beauty

and I love the 1967 Panini Cassius clay

Near perfect centering is a MUST!

Default Any T3 card & most any 1953 Topps card
I agree with Jay on any of the one hundred 1910-11 T3 cards. The Bob Bescher T3 always puts a smile on my face though. I'm also a fan of the 1953 Topps set, and I think the best examples from that set have already been mentioned. I also like the 1958 Topps Batting Foes card with Mantle & Aaron.

I would pick this Ruth photo. I like the Japanese postcard version because you can see the crowd and newspaper photographers really close to the action right in the background.

Then for postwar I'd pick the 53 Bowman Musial or this card. Since the 53 has already been shown I'll pick the 52 Bowman Musial.

Thanks Bill! It was in a BVG 4.5 (yeah, that company that "overgrades by a full grade" haha) and is now in an 8-pocket sheet in a binder

Default Try as I might...
I really cannot pick one card when it comes to aesthetics. If you narrow it down to sets I believe almost any Obak and Diamond Star card would qualify for the most beautiful prewar cards. Postwar is even tougher, but I do like the design of the 1963 & 1965 Topps issues and the photographs on the 1979 TCMAs.

Here are pictures of a few of my favorites.

Best regards,

Joe
