Brett, ol' Teddy Ballgame could still hit .300 swinging a frankfurter.

As a Braves fan, I have to go with the '54 Johnston Cookies set as my favorite. But the '54 Wilson Franks set isn't far behind. That Williams card is simply divine, and I will own one, though a nice one will cost me a kidney.

The '54 Wilson Franks set actually has a really nice checklist. Only 20 cards, but Williams, Gil Hodges, Bob Feller, Nellie Fox, Roy Campanella, and a criminally underrated Vern Stephens...lots of star power in it. And, for Milwaukee baseball fans, a handful of players with a Beer Town connection: Harvey Kuenn, Red Schoendienst, and Brave Andy Pafko.

But the Johnston Cookies set trumps it. I mean, Hank Aaron's rookie card alone makes gives it "king of the mountain" status against all comers, imho.

BTW, Jerry, beautiful example of the '54 Williams you have there.

Thanks for the kind words Bill. I think it's one of the best looking cards in the hobby. Very fortunate to have it in my collection.

Thank you for your kind words. I just have always loved this set since I've seen it and was the most enjoyable to put together.

Default Morrell meats
Is it me or is photography on the Morrell meats sets as nice as 53 Bowman?

Just picked up '60 Koufax. Also have the 1959 Dodgers team postcard that uses the same picture as the '61 Morrell meats Koufax (which I unfortunately don't own)

Default Not a Major League issue, but here's a rare regional
This is my lone example from one of the rarest post-war regional sets out there. A 1968 Red Barn Restaurant Memphis Blues Mike Jorgenson. I had been looking for just a picture of one for many years and finally came across a lot that sold on Ebay a few years ago. I managed to acquire this one from the buyer. A few from that lot have come up for sale on EBay since then, but other than that I haven't seen any others for sale online. The most recent example on EBay sold in June 2015. It was also a Jorgenson that was graded PSA 4, Population 1. It sold for $125.

Default Greatest regional sets
These 1949 Bowman PCL cards may not be the "greatest regional set"....but, it perhaps is the toughest post-war set to complete.

Displayed here are 12 of the 36 cards to complete this scarce set. I will post the other 24 cards later.
