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:

And yes, its annoying that Topps kept recycling his images.

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.

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...

Of course, second place goes to him actually donning the Mets uniform...

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

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!
