Cards that look good no matter who's on it

[Rookiemonster]

I'm sure we all have been at this moment. You love the look of a card but maybe the player is not a star. It might be as bad as being a player from a rival team. But it looks great ! Aleast in your personal point of view.



I'll start . And I'll start it pre war👍 But if you can post whatever you like other sports even. Not my card lol but maybe soon.

I'm a big fan of the colors in the R312 set. Here's are a couple of my favorites from my Cincinnati Reds collection.

A Great Work of Art IMHO:

and, for pre-war, two guys connected in history:

Toney won the game, but I prefer the lefty's follow-through.

Here's one that I have in my collection purely because I thinks it's a great looking card.

Note: This isn't a picture of my card.

Some real beauts! Raymond my first pre war cards were from that set. I had Alexander Gaston and max Carey . I traded them away a few year back.

A Great Work of Art IMHO:

Agreed. And I don't do modern cards too often but I feel this Mariano fits the bill

Yes, actually. Best pull of my life!

I have a section in my collection pretty much dedicated to these type of cards. Here are a few:

I was coming here to post the 33 Goudey Richards as well. Definitely one of my favorites. I also like the T206 Bell (hands above head).

Once again, the Richards card takes me back to the last scene in 'Field of Dreams'.

I may have to pick one up just for that reason.

So Cool!

The Goudey Richards card has always been a favorite. A while back on here someone posted the photo that was used to create the card, and no surprise, it is a fantastic photo.

Another card that has always spoken to me is the T206 Leifield pitching. Just a classic, colorful, unique wind-up pose, and perfectly composed image (card not mine).

cards that really don't fit in my collection except for the fact that I love the imagery. No scans available, but off the top of my head, the 1950 and 1951 Bowman have a few, including the 1951 Larry Doby. Within the T206, I like the Lake, Willis with bat, and the all-time classic T206 Lajoie with bat.

...I know some pre-war-only guys , real die-hard snobs , who , if they would ever consider any post-war set as being deemed worthy of a second look , would linger a bit looking at this issue...

How can you not love the Tattoo Orbit set?

1961 Golden Press. I loved this set from the first time I saw one (Cobb) as a kid:

Did Ted Williams ever make an ugly card?

Perhaps my favorite modern card:

A GREAT set, no matter what era you collect.

It's like a 90s t206 o the kid

Please don't throw eggs at this because of its sighting again, but if we are talking about cards looking good regardless of their player, I have always thought this one's striking red background is why it looks so good. Any player would look great on that background, to me.

My avatar is one classy looking card.
