Modern Vintage? The first Topps Heritage?

ajw

Maybe no one cares, but I'm playing with my new scanner and thought I'd show some of my very favorite cards. These were inserted in Baseball Cards Magazine in the late 1990s and featured the stars of the day on card designs from years past. Note that the last card is actually in the format of a 1973 (?) Topps football card. I guess these were the forerunners to Topps Heritage, huh? Anyway, here are what I believe to be all the Will Clark "retrocards." If you are aware of any Will Clark retrocards that I don't have, please let me know as I would be *very* interested.

Very nice display! Thanks for sharing. I'm also a big fan of the Baseball Cards Magazine (and price guide) retrocards. The year they did the '69 Topps look was my favorite.

My god, that's unbelievable. I had not known that these cards existed since it was during my long hiatus. In looking at those, I am again flabbergasted as to how anyone likes the 1959 design. I think this is a perfect way of objectively assessing vintage card designs since the quality photography is a constant (unlike in reality). With that, I think the 57, 69 and 71 really stand out.
