The most beautiful in the hobby...

[Beansballcardblog]

I don't have a picture of it to include, but there is just something about the image of the 1952 Topps Johnny Mize that gets me. I'm no Yankees fan, but...WOW!

Cobb bat off definitely qualifies for me too. Dark cap Matty is another that mesmerizes me.

We all have different tastes, but Leard will not be on many of our lists in this category.

[Redleg25]

53 Bowman Peewee #1
with several others tied at #2 including 53 Stahl Campy, WaJo port, 52 Topps #357 Smokey and 54 Wilson's Ted

One of the worst 51 Bowman #195 Richards lol

Two cards I don't own:

N162 Kelly
T205 Cobb

I don't know how you get more beautiful than those two.

I have many favorites, but here is a top candidate: The E101 of Christy Mathewson (the various E92 issues, the E102, E106, D303 and T216 cards with the same artwork would qualify too).

I couldn't agree more, Al. And thanks for auctioning this one so I could get it back in my collection. I have always thought the T205 Cobby might be the best looking card in the hobby.

I know this is sacrilege and I am at risk of being banned, but the T205 Cobb always reminds me of Michael Dunn (Miguelito Loveless on The Wild Wild West.)

T3 Cobb
T205 Young
1921 Exhibit Ruth
1934 Goudey Gehrig (either one)
1952 Mays
1952 Minoso
1968 3D Clemente

Count me in the legion of '53 Bowman Pee Wee fans. Actually his 1952 Berk Ross is up there for me as well. If the photo and print quality matched the pose quality it would be even higher in my esteem!

This is my favorite 206 too.

..1958 was a good year for Hank Aaron cards.....also , the consumption of root beer and bubble gum guaranteed the purchase of Porsches by dentists all over America...

Outstanding choices, guys. I will toss in a few:

I think T218 is one of the most beautiful sets ever made:





My favorite Mantle:



Better eat your Wheaties



Teddy Ballgame



My favorite T206:

I think I like the beauty seen in the non-boxing T218 cards even more than the boxers, which are as a group incredibly nice. Here are some of my favorites (the Irons card in the upper right is beautiful in its own 'coming at you with legs wide open' way).

Also this is my favorite Wheaties panel, from the same series as the Hubbell. (Mungo shown not mine. Mungo only pawn in game of life).
