    1964 Topps Giant Mantle
    1956 Topps Mays, all the 1956 cards were works of art (I like the 1962 Topps also)
    1957 Topps Snider (because of the Ebbets background)

    I wonder when the phrase "Willie, Mickey, and the Duke" began. Too bad Topps never had a combo card entitled that with the lot of them.

    I think the phrase began because all three were center fielders in NY...
    In terms of appearance I'd have to go with:
    1965 Topps Mays...
    1956 Mantle
    1952 Snider

    I think the term began with the song composed by Terry Cashman by the same name.

    Mays-1971 Kelloggs
    Mantle-1961 TSN All Star
    Snider-As a Giant fan, I can't admit that there is a 'best looking card' of Snider.
    Strong buyer of 1970 Kelloggs Football & 1971 Kelloggs Baseball and Football. Please help me find cards!
    I have a few hundred extra PSA graded 1971 Kellogg's cards. E-mail for price list. Looking for 1970 Topps Supers in PSA 9 too.

    1953 Bowman Color Mantle
    1953 Topps Mays is one of my favorite cards period.
    1956 of the Duke, simply because I actually have a nice one.
    Looking for 77 cloth 9s and 10s.
    54 Red Hearts
    and now 64 Stand ups

    The best Mantle that's on nobody's list is the '52 Bowman. Overshadowed by '52 Topps, it's still a great card.

    I don't know about Snider -- I haven't see all of his cards. I like the '53 Bowman Color, it's just a nice portrait of him standing there holding a bat.

    Mays I don't pay that much attention to. How about '57 Topps?

    Of related interest, the '75 Carmen Fanzone card is a real "looker"image

    I was getting worried as I read down the lists because no one had mentioned the 1953 Topps Mantle. Thank you, lapremidi.

    As for Mays, his 52 or 53 Topps card is nice. However, I saw a high grade 51 Bowman that looked REAL nice.

    Don't know enough Duke cards from memory but a quick check of my wall has a 51 Red Back hanging there. That'll have to do--at least it's not hideous.

    1959 Topps #464 Mays' WS Catch (3 panel horizontal pane)
    1959 Topps #461 Mantle 42nd HR (horizontal card, great artwork)
    1959 Topps #467 Snider's Great Catch (3 panel pane. Again, great moment, great card!)

    PS. If anyone's interested, I'm probably going to list them tonight on ebay (free listings!) Or just send me an email (anjcollection@hotmail.com)

    love that card)

    Duke- 57 topps (followed by 54 Dan Dee)
