What's your favorite non-Topps card issue for any sport?

Goodsport40 · June 22, 2007 2:03PM

My current favorite is 1968 Bazooka baseball. Technically, that's not Topps

I also like the 1972 Sunoco football stamps, although my luck buying packs on Ebay has been poor.

Thoughts and scans are appreciated.

Any Vintage Bowman football would suffice..but I would go with 1950 Bowman

I'm absolutely in love with the Bowman Sterlings and the Fleer Greats of the Game .

1950 and 1951 Bowman Football and Baseball my all-time non-Topps favs. But I only have scans of 1951 Bowman Football, so here's a few.

I like the '52 Bowman Large football and the '53 Bowman Color Baseball the best for Non-Topps cards, these are some of the best cards ever made IMO

1954 Red Heart. Awesome set!

Good lord, I never saw Y.A. with hair upside his noggin! I wonder if that is an artist rendition with a bit of creative license being used?

Anyhow, my vote, 1935 National Chicle or 1948 Leaf. Hard to go wrong with the Bowman selections above though and there are a ton of vintage oddball releases that rock too. You know what... I can't pick just one, it's like asking us to pick between the foxes in perkdog's sig.

I loved this 80-card football set of college players soooooooooo much, I've built the world's best registry set!

It's the 'poor boy's' version of Topps AA !!

I like the '51 Bowman FB set too, with the '55 Bowman FB set a close second.

calaban7 · June 23, 2007 9:47AM

I totally love the 55 Bowman football set. One day I may start a collection.

The 1944 American Beauties are unbelievable as well. Too expensive for my blood.

Thanks, same to you! Glad to see you posted a 49er on top of that.

1935 National Chicle is a very nice set. I collect the baseball version (Diamond Stars).

Ah yes, American Beauties are a favorite of mine too.
