I always knew you had impeccable taste. Was scrolling to the bottom to see if anyone had posted this card yet.

As for general design I think red 1959 Topps cards are, to this day, what I think of if you say "Picture a baseball card"

Default Some personal favorites....

The T227 Cobb single-handedly drew me into vintage collecting about 10 years ago now.

Agree with tons of what's been listed already, including some sleepers I've always loved ('33 Goudey Richards, etc.). Cards = Art, no question.

I'm a bit surprised that no one has yet nominated a Diamond Stars card.

Diamond Stars have always been a favorite, and here is Duck, Poison and the Fritz that I find extra appealing, with the Fritz getting my extra vigorous nod.

I think 1910/1911 Obaks could be represented too...I have a few in mind, and fortunately I have the mind capable of posting a few in a few.

As for all the cards I pulled out of packs I can't ever top Mantle's 1965 card but a close second are his 1966, 1968, 1969 Topps.
Of all the one's I have bought it is the 1953 Bowman Musial which shows a guy who loved the game. Happy 100th birthday Stan.

By far, the best-looking Mantle card is his 1959 Bazooka card (shown in post #42 above).

I agree that the T205 Cobb is a very nice-looking card! Here are some hockey cards:

The '58 Musial is iconic - we waited five years but got a spectacular card.

This is a great thread. The fact that there are thousands of cards, from all eras and sports, that fill this category reinforces what a great hobby we enjoy.

I am partial to vintage, but don't overlook some of the outstanding photography from the modern sets. I started a binder a few years ago of eye-catching photos from the cards since about 1990 . . . above the wall catches, point of contact swings, airborne double plays, diving catches, home plate collisions, etc. It wasn't long before I filled a large binder and started another. My grandsons absolutely love leafing through those pages. Now they're starting to ask about the older stuff. Yes!

That ‘54 Topps Gordie is just fantastic.

Nice to see so much energy around this topic! I thought maybe this was a big old “been/there, done that”.... but I should have guessed we all have our faves and love to show them off (whether we have them in our own collections or just aspire to someday)

Since 2020 has been such a disaster of a year in so many ways, how about we close the year strong in cards and formalize this little opinion exercise a bit? Just for fun...

Maybe we have some kind of Net54baseball vote to choose the 10 most visually admired baseball card of all time? I’m still new here... under a year. But I’d be happy to try and pull it off. I could probably set up a survey Monkey and link it here.

To long term members and Leon.... have you ever done polls like this before? Any interest in having a “Little Miss Sunshine” card beauty contest?

Jeff

Default So many to choose from!

First one that came to mind for me is 1952 Topps Mays

After that:
1956 Clemente
1968 Clemente 3D
Many T206 Portrait cards
Many T3 cards
