Best looking card? (I'm shallow!)

Bicem · February 9, 2006 12:49AM

Just curious as to what people thought was the best looking card ever made. Disregarding the player, value, year, importance to the hobby, etc. - just based 100% on visual appeal. Scans please!!!!!!!

(oh, and no Playboy Centerfold cards or anything like that please - too obvious of a joke!)

My vote... (1911 T3 Turkey Red - #46)

How about the Pee Wee Reese ( I forget the year) card where he is flying in the air.........................I would love to own one of those..

53 Bowman color, Great Card !

I agree w/ the 53 Bowman Color Reese AND the above Turkey Red. I have never seen that before, but that is a great card.

Saw this one the other day, thought it had great action shot, though there are many great ones from the 56 set this one really caught my eye. Always liked the 92 UD McGwire card to (can not find an image though):

The Peewee. Does anyone know the guy making the slide?

Not the most valuable vintage card but my vote goes out to the 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle card.

here's the '53 Bowman Reese card (from 707sportscards.com). No idea who that is sliding into base!

I totally agree with Bicem on the Turkey Red "Safe at Third". I saw this card years ago at a show and loved it. I did not have the money (about $50.00 at that time) because I spent what I had earlier at the show (Willow Grove at the George Washington Motor Lodge). I have always wanted to get one but never saw another. Now with two kids and college to put away for......looks like I will never get to own one.

No, it's not vintage, but I have always thought John Olerud had the sweetest swing I've ever seen and his 1990 Leaf card captures the follow-through perfectly. Love those 90 Leafs. Love that 90 Leaf Olerud. If I knew how to past a pic, I would.

ROCKDJRW · February 9, 2006 3:29AM

I have always been fond of the 1990 Score Bo Jackson FB/BB card.

Bicem · February 9, 2006 3:34AM

I agree - Olerud had the sweetest and most fluid swing I've ever seen!!! He is one of my all-time favs!

There has always been rumors that the guy sliding in the 53 Bowman color Pee Wee card is non other than Phil Rizzuto. I have been around the hobby for 30 years and I have heard this many times. How true it is, Who knows?

Bicem,

Thanks for posting the picture. I love that Olerud card! And the sweetest swing I've ever seen.

I've been around maybe a bit longer, and had always heard the same rumor. Would be nice to finally prove it in some way or finally put it to rest.....

I always loved this card. Ralph had the sweetest swing in his day.

charliehustle14 · February 9, 2006 5:51AM

One of the best looking cards from the 70's, in my opinion:

vwtdi · February 9, 2006 5:58AM

Its hard to find any ugly T9s.

Cool card Bicem

Here's the cousin - "Out at Third"

This had a very slight pencil mark that I didn't see when I bought the card.

One of the things I love about this board is its variety and diversity. This discussion has cards ranging from 1911 - 1990. What a great learning tool.
