The '53 Topps Page was hard for me to not to include. Same with the 53 Bowman Color Reese card. I just already had 2 listed from that set.

My favorite post war card:
 A personal favorite I was lucky enough to snap up on a BIN one sleepless early morning [yay insomnia!]:  My favorite card of my favorite FB player:  This epitomizes the 1952 set for me:  My favorite card of the Topps Golden Age [1952-56]:  An early childhood favorite:  1968 Crack [Argentina] Pele, seemed appropriate for the World Cup:  My favorite Koufax:  Gotta thrown in the Louisville Lip, from the 1967 Crack Campeones [Argentina] set:  And finally, my favorite hockey card of my youth:

Here's what I wrote when this topic came up in another thread a while back…
 My All-Time Top 10 Cards In no particular order... (All photos are grabs from ebay) • 1973 Willie Mays - The first card of my idol in the uniform of my beloved Mets. • 1978 Reggie Jackson - The classic Reg-gie follow through. Awesome!! • 1972 Willie McCovey - Love the blurry hand. Can't recall another Topps card with that effect. • 1962 Roger Maris - As a kid I heard of Maris' accomplishment like it was ancient history. Had one of these cards with a hole punch in it squirreled away in my collection. • 1974 Nolan Ryan - This one needs no explanation. Look at that shot!! • 1976 Johnny Bench - In a word, "intimidation." • 1977 Dave Kingman - My absolute favorite player in a great photo. • 1958 Mantle/Aaron - I wish the Mick was looking at the photographer, but that's just splitting hairs. • 1965 Casey Stengel - Gesticulating while holding court on the dugout steps. What's not to love?! • 1972 Bobby Bonds - Look at that grin on his face. It says, "I can't believe I didn't launch that pitch!!" - See more at: http://s1226.photobucket.com/user/Jo....x74kYzs8.dpuf

Definitely can't sleep on the 52T Jackie or Willie.
The 56 Koufax and Clemente are gorgeous cards. The 57 portraits like Yogi, Clemente, and Koufax have great charm, too. I love me some 1959 Frank Robinson. That card gets slept on a ton. The 1951 and 1953 Color Bowman sets have almost too many beauties to count! Last edited by MattyC; 06-13-2014 at 04:10 PM.

I don't necessarily own all the cards that I think belong in the top 10. But here are some that I do...
In addition to the five pictured, I would add the 1953 Bowman Mantle, 1958 Topps Mantle/Aaron, 1956 Topps Mantle, 1964 Mays, and 1972 Clemente

I'm also going to pick one card per player which makes it a little easier, somewhat, I think.
In no particular order..... 1947 Exhibits Satchel Paige 1950 Bowman Ted Williams 1951 Bowman Mays 1953 Bowman Mantle 1953 Bowman Musial 1955 Topps Jackie Robinson 1957 Topps Aaron 1957 Topps Snider 1962 Topps Clemente 1967 Topps Rose Of course I may/will change my mind at any time

Great topic Bill, and great opportunity see cards (great ones posted so far!)
Here are the top 10 favs off the top of my head. I'll list them chronologically because it would take me hours to rank them. 1941 Play Ball Williams 1941 Play Ball Williams PSA 4 front.jpg 1941 Play Ball Dimaggio Dimaggio.jpg 1948-49 Leaf Dimaggio Leaf Joe Dimaggio front.jpg 1948-49 Leaf Musial Leaf Stan Musial 2.jpg 1952 Topps Jackie Robinson 1952 Topps Robinson iPhone.jpg 1952 Topps Mantle 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle 1.jpg 1953 Topps Mays 1953 Topps Willie Mays.jpg 1954 Topps Aaron 1954 Topps Aaron.jpg 1955 Topps Clemente 1955 Topps Roberto Clemente.jpg 1972 Topps Clemente (don't have scan, so will include the Clemente group shot... IMO Roberto is probably the photogenic player on his cards ever) iPhone pictures backed up July 26 997.jpg Last edited by itjclarke; 06-13-2014 at 11:01 PM.

Love the Clemente group shot there, Ian. I see the '58 card in there. That is in a constant battle with the '71 card for my favorite from Clemente. There's just something about his batting stance against that yellow background that just stands out for me.
