This was always one of my least favorite cards of the T206 set. Looks like an awkward drawing, cartoonish.

Somebody mentioned their distaste for the T205 Cobb. I suppose this serves to prove that there will always be someone on the other side of any opinion-based discussion. I can't remember hearing anyone else have this opinion, but it's refreshing in spite of my not sharing those feelings.
If I had to explain a collector's appreciation for the artistic beauty of prewar cards, the Cobb is the very example I would point to. That is everything a baseball card from that era should be.

Some of my top picks were already taken (the Jackson rookie, obviously, the Rose rookie, the CJ Wagners where he looks 90 years old), and I am shocked by some of the picks (T205 Cobb? 1951 Mays? And Ted Williams has some of the most beautiful cards, esp his 1949 Leaf!), but I will throw one more on the pile:
1952 Topps Willie Mays. It still looks to me like they surprised him coming out of the bathroom in a dark clubhouse. I don't get how that was the image they used.

I like Mike Schmidt, but I just can't choke down his rookie card. And the 1973 Reggie Jackson is a no go.
Love the '77 Seaver, '74 Ryan, '74 Steve Carlton, '77 Carlton Fisk, '76 Bench.
