Top 10 Non-Pele Soccer Cards

That would open a few slots in the (mostly) pre 1950 cards above. Which Meazza card should we put it?

Thoughts?

I think all 3 of them are worthy specimens. Is one of them considered more of a rookie or harder to find than the others?

Agreed and fantastic cards--all 3 of the Meazza's are worthy (and i would be really interested to see how SGC was able to date the Editore Scono). The 1927 Lurati would be my call because the Zaini is an "in action" shot (1 other player) and while the Stagni Petazzoni is one heavyweight of a card, the date "1927-29" is likely not correct as the Ambrosiana part of the Inter name didnt come about until 1928.

This is truly a world class lineup Al--I just dont know that i would have many that i would add pre-1950 (there are a couple I may remove). There will be a few but like you suggested most will be post 1950.

While a far cry from most of the gems above I would think this card would need to be included in any discussion. More to come..
