The 1952 Topps is a much nicer looking card, in a more impressive size than the 51 Bowman, and is in a more significant set. All my opinion, but I prefer my 52 Topps to my 51 Bowman. I see the appeal of the 51 Bowman as it�s his rookie card, but, if that wasn�t the case, I don�t think there be any discussion or debate about what is the better card. Add in the fact that people have been convicted 52 Topps high numbers were dumped and that a first Topps issue is the equivalent of a rookie for Mantle, and it all makes sense, to me anyway.

I think the same arguments for JD's '41PB over his '39 can be made for Teddy's '41 PB. Admittedly, his '39 is an action shot, while his '41PB is a head shot, but for me, the color just jumps out. Maybe someday I'll own one . . .
