Default Larry Doby... best looking, coolest card to have?

Would love some Net54 crowd sourcing input on which Larry Doby Card YOU think is the best looking card - a few parameters:

- looking to be budget friendly, say under $250
- prefer a card when he’s with the Indians
- as great as the 50 Bowman is, I think I prefer the 51 Bowman since his name is on the front. Great card!
- open to less traditional cards... I like diversity of look and shape (eg, love my Redman Yogi Berra and my 1970 Kellogg’s Tom Seaver)

Thx for your suggestions and nominations!

Jeff

For less than your budgeted number, maybe much less, you could buy a Cleveland Indians Photo Pack. Doby was included every year 1947-1955. I highly recommend the 1948 Pack. Its crammed with HOFers. In addition to Doby there's Paige, Greenberg, Feller, Boudreaux, Lopez, Lemon, McKechnie and Veeck.
Here's a picture of the '48 Pack I found on eBay. Doby with a great smile.

The photo pack that riggs336 recommended looks like a beautiful Doby. I was going to suggest a 1954 Dan-Dee Potato Chips Larry Doby in a PSA 5 or 6. Strive to find one with as little toning as possible (it's actually potato chip grease stained). Dan-Dees are beautiful cards, Doby looks superb, and this issue falls on the same year the Indians blitzed the rest of the league, won the AL pennant by a mile, and Larry had one of his best years. 'Nuf said. I wish you the best, bro. For a time in the late '60s, I was on a Doby kick, and bought several of his cards. --- Brian Powell

Aesthetically, at least for me (I know you prefer the 1951), the 1950 Bowman is his prettiest card. You can obtain a very nice copy for $250.00.

I also like the 1949 Bowman card. Although it may take some time and patience, you could probably obtain a copy for around $250.00 - albeit a low grade.

Good luck. Buy what you like.

I'm a big fan of both his 50 and 51 bowman cards but as they have both mentioned already, I'd say his 52 topps or 57 topps as they are favorites of mine.

Damn, that '70 Kelloggs Seaver is a beautiful card.

In my humble opinion, the '54 Bowman is nicer than any of them (even nicer than the '53 Bowman - and much less expensive). This one, graded PSA 6.5 can be had for $100. I'm also a big fan of the '52 Bowman.

Default 1949 Bowman

The 1949 Bowman Larry Doby is, IMO, one of the most attractive Baseball cards ever regardless of the player.

It is certainly the best looking Doby issue...again IMO.

I have to agree - the 54 Bowman Doby has a really great look, the stadium in the background (which ballpark is that? Municipal?)

Nah, it's Yankee Stadium. The classic facade on the upper deck in right field and the last three letters of the Gem Razor sign are visible in the background.
