Best 50's cards -- non-HOF edition
Great thread from Doug got me wondering: what are your favorite cards from the 50's that don't feature HOFers? I collect '52 Bowman, and have always liked the Joe Adcock from that set (thanks to Dan Austin's "virtual card collection" site for the jpeg).

I think that the 1957 Topps Don Zimmer card is one of the best looking cards of the 50's. Particularly so in light of the subject matter.
Honorable Mention: 2. '52 Topps Gus Zernial 3. '57 Ted Kluzewski Jeff Last edited by HRBAKER; 09-07-2010 at 04:32 PM. |

Those were actually the first two cards I thought of. Scary stuff there!

Any/all of the 1959 Bazooka SPs.

1950 Bowman Bob Scheffling #168
Here's my pick. A great looking card, Cincinnati Reds player, and a catcher card. My two favorite combinations. I really like all the catcher cards from the 50 Bowman set, but this one is my favorite.

You Got That Right!
Val,
Good call! '59 Bazooka by far my favorite 50's set. |

A couple spring to mind...
1953 Bowman Color of Minnie Minoso
1950 Bowman Wayne Terwilliger (I LOVE how this image is constituted - color, pose, background, etc is a homerun for me) and the 1951 Bowman Luke Easter and the Joe Garagiola from the 1953 Bowman edit -ok, so when I say "a couple" I mean at least 4 apparently! edit #2 - Added scans from Vintage Card Prices.com to illustrate my point. Strong examples of these cards are classics, in my opinion.

Agreed with Zernial and Klu. I love the 57 Topps set. The aesthetic appeal is beyond compare. Some favorites from the set are Wilmer Mizell, Foster Castleman, Paul Smith, Rube Walker, and Elmer Valo.

Best 50's cards -- non-HOF edition
There are so many great Bowman cards from the early 1950s that I hardly know where to begin, but here are a few. I'm throwing in a Topps card to show I have an open mind ...

Chris, agreed on the Newcombe,...
in fact, your post served as a reminder and I went out and picked up a nice example of it for myself!
