Great topic. I have to go with the 79OPC Gretzky RC. Full body action shot of him gazing up to the scoring gods...plus the simple design and those bright blue borders make the card pop in any sea of cardboard. Stick it among any group of cards and it will be the one that grabs your eye.
'84 Fleer Update Puckett. Just a kid who can't wait to get out there and play ball.

Not a fan of Urlacher, but that is one of the most visually beautiful cards that I have seen. The fans in the background look like fall foliage scenery.
I like this one considering the era that is came from and very little with actual photos being released. I scored big time by finding this one.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
The 80 Rickey Henderson and 89 Griffey Jr. are both nice looking rookies, but Im a Football guy so many of my favorites lay on the Gridiron side of the ball.
For me it's the 54 Aaron. One Rookie I've always thought was ironic is the 59 Gibson I mean its Gibson smiling as big as he can on a PINKISH card! Just doesn't fit him at all.
I just remember henderson crouched low..just looks blazing fast on that cardboard. And u know he's gonna be 90 feet away in 3-4 seconds .. To quote Rickey.."Rickey is the greatest of all time"
I also think rickey's rc is one of the best, but I think that goes without saying. Such a memorable stance.
I also think kobes got some sweet looking rc's. I've always loved his 96-97 skybox premium rc, and his 96-97 flair showcase class of 96 is way underrated (in my opinion), love the white background.

Very well played.
52 topps Mickey mantle is pretty nice with the bright colored background and the bat just chillin' on his shoulder.
<< <i>86 fleer Jordan is a cool card with jordan going up for a dunk, with the old school Chicago jersey.

Always like the 86 Fleer Spud Web rookie card, a great image of him going for a dunk.
