As far as I am concerned, Hank STILL is the home run king. And will be for a long time to come.

I had to give this some thought. I could have easily picked either of the 57 Robinson rookies or maybe the 58 Mantle All Star which I love. But Murray’s 78 card is just a unique piece of baseball art to me. And it’s the first card of one of my favorite players.

58 Mantle AS is my favorite card of MM. I think it's gorgeous.

Agreed... There's a lot of nostalgia tied to it for me and as you said, it's just a gorgeous card. I wanted one for the longest time, well before I even considered building the sets I had as a kid. I had a limited hobby budget and waited until I found one that looked good and was affordable. I later bought two more from someone on this board several years ago.

The first card I chased as a child was that 1974 Topps #1 Hank Aaron. Since it was posted already I’ll go with these two. I always dreamed of owning them as a kid. It took a while to actually add them to my personal collection. Whenever I look at them I’m 12 again.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
