leadoff4 · November 14, 2008 3:19AM

Just wondering what the thoughts were. I could be way off but here is my shot at it. I know there are the rarities like the '62 F. Robinson and such but...
1- '62 Mantle
2- '63 Pete Rose
3- '63 Mantle
4- '68 Nolan Ryan
5- '60 Mantle
6- '62 Willie Mays
7- '66 Willie Mays
8- '62 Clemente
9- '62 Koufax
10- '67 Seaver

What about the RC of the guy in your avatar (although I like his 1969 card better)??

I like his '69 card MUCH better. He's very under rated in my book and it stinks that '68 had to be his rookie year. Had it been '67, I think we'd be looking at a much popular RC of the best catcher of all time in my book.

My list (without a heckuva lot of thought going into it) of '60s popular mainstream Topps issues would be:

1 - 1963 Topps Pete Rose
2 - 1968 Topps Nolan Ryan
3 - 1965 Topps Mickey Mantle
4 - 1961 Topps Mickey Mantle All-Star
5 - 1967 Topps Tom Seaver
6 - 1969 Topps Reggie Jackson
7 - 1967 Topps Rod Carew
8 - 1963 Topps Roberto Clemente
9 - 1960 Topps Carl Yastrzemski
10 - 1966 Topps Willie Mays

Honorable mention: 1969 Topps Johnny Bench, 1962 Topps Roger Maris, 1967 Topps Mickey Mantle, 1965 Topps Sandy Koufax

1-1960 Topps Mantle
2-1961 Topps Mantle
3-1963 Topps Mantle
4-1960 Topps Yastrzemski
5-1965 Topps Mantle
6-1968 Topps Ryan
7-1967 Topps Seaver
8-1960 Topps Clemente
9-1961 Topps Mantle All Star
10-1961 Topps Yastrzemski tie 1961 Topps Koufax

I have an affinity for '60 and '61 Topps because I've built those sets and had hundreds of the cards graded. I'm also partial to anything Mickey.

5- 69 Reggie Jackson
6- 62 Willie Mays
7- 65 Mickey Mantle

I believe the 62 Mantle is by far the hardest and most in demand 60s mantle out there.

1963 Sandy Koufax
1961 Hank Aaron

Hmmmm ... Great Question. Being a big MICK fan, I would have to say, in no particular order:

1967 Mantle
1960 Mantle
1967 Seaver
1968 Ryan
1967 Carew
1962 Maris
1969 Reggie
1960 Yaz
1963 Rose
1968 Any of the 3-Ds stars

Stay Healthy!

I think there is a difference between popular and rare/expensive. The 3d cards are rare and expensive but so few exist that most collectors will never get one let alone a Clemente. Enough of the White mantles exist that unless you only wanted a high grade example, most collectors could find one but I personally would rather have a PSA 8 65 than a PSA 6 69 WL.

I don't get the love for the 67 Mantle, it to me is the ugliest superstar card made in the 60's.

MBMiller25 · November 15, 2008 12:03AM

I am going most popular, not the rarest off the top of my head:

6- 63 Willie Stargell
7- 60 Mickey Mantle
8- 65 Steve Carlton
9- 60 Carl Yastrzemski
10- 67 Tom Seaver
