Most attractive card
Back when I was opening wax packs, I loved seeing this Clemente card. Then a few years later, action shots such as these, appealed to me.

Here's another Clemente vote.
someone posted this a few years ago and pointed out the great action shots in this set. it nudged me to purchase the Clemente. When I received it, decided to put together the set raw in "good/vg" condition. 38 lots later, then selling 1381 duplicates in one fell swoop, I had the complete set for net about $320. took me about 5 months total. sold the dups on 2-6-10 . That was probably the most fun I've had collecting. opening all those lots every few days, continually replacing cards with the slightly better condition ones that came in new lots. I just bought lots till the set was complete. Biggest lot was 346 cards for $20. fond memories  p.s. the card pictured isn't the one in my set Last edited by tonyo; 11-08-2021 at 02:33 PM.

Some very good picks above. One I haven't seen mentioned yet is the 1976 John Bench:

Card number 400 (of 407) in the 1957 Topps set. The final card of the great Brooklyn Dodgers. Even without Robinson, who retired the year before, this card will feature 3 Hall of Famers once Hodges gets in.

One of Topps' best IMO.

And to go along with it, a great photo of a ballplayer preparing for work on the grass of Ebbets Field- dirty uniform, no batting gloves, multiple bats in hand:  The only thing missing is a lunch pail.
