I'm partial to his '62 Topps because I like action shots and his big grin. I like his '66 Topps too.
But obviously, it's all personal preference. You can see all of his major issues here: https://www.oldsportscards.com/willi...aseball-cards/ And yes, its annoying that Topps kept recycling his images. Last edited by cgjackson222; 05-07-2022 at 12:23 PM. |

As you can tell from my avatar, I love the 52 Bowman, but the 55 Bowman is great too:

My favorite is still the 1954 Topps but also love the 1967 Topps pin-up since it's a larger image than his 1966 and 1969 Topps.

His 62 Topps card is a thing of beauty.

1953 Topps, 1955 Topps, 1957 Topps and 1965 Topps are my favorites.

My choice is based almost entirely on the nostalgia of Willie coming back home to New York (making kids across the boroughs go into a frenzy trying to get his card), so for me the best will always be this one...

Starts and ends with 1954 Topps IMO.

Wrong, Peter!
![]() There is no better looking Mays card than this one. The orange background makes the image of Mays really pop!
