He had the power and the Batting Average's annually for a catcher that were thru the roof.... at some point don't collectors have to retrace to this guy for his gift? Which card is your Piazza fave?

Aesthetically and for return I'd mos def take the Rookie Phenom '92 Donruss...... Piazza was such an offensive force and likely roided which makes me think a lot more roided fellas are getting into the HOF.
Gotta go with the 92 Bowman. Only base card he had in 92, so that is the main reason for me. Love the picture and 92 Bowman is the set that really started what Bowman is all about today.
92 FU would be my 2nd choice.

Low pop or not, I like the Rookie Phenoms card best.
Man, Mike was lucky to escape from that 92' Bowman set with a decent card. That set is rough on the eyes.
For me personally, I'll always take the condition sensitive, colored border, low pop. For the most bang for your buck and likely future appreciation, 92B all the way. I guess it depends what you're looking to do with it.
Piazza absolutely got off "scot free" with that catcher gear shot......lucky guy.... that '92 Bowman set is hideous.... poor Mariano came to his MLB debut in that circus tent.
A hitchhiker with a bat. Yeah I typically try to not pick up one who has a visible weapon. Guessing Joe is still sitting there after 28 years...

Even if the looks were popular then, WHY? If some of them had no MLB uniform photos, then go with a minor league photo.
Street clothes on a sports card = stupid!
My favorite would be the Bowman. Great image. As mentioned it is a true first card available to all and the scarcity of that issue from the beginning helps build the case for it, like the 84 Donruss before it.
Too bad the Dodgers didn't keep him longer...
My vote is the Bowman. To me, that is Piazza's true RC. I remember way back in the day, my girlfriend gave one to me for my birthday. I still have it. It is O/C for sure but back then grading wasn't a big deal at all.
i always loved the fleer update.
