Posted By: <b>Bob Lemke</b><p>I'm a big fan of Keith's &quot;cards&quot; but I am exceptionally blown away by his 1958 Topps-style Musial.

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>I've got to agree. The '58 is the best. I still don't know why Topps didn't make that card. They found space on the high number sheet for three copies of Musial's all star card. Couldn't they have dumped one of those in favor of a regular card?

Posted By: <b>Chris Counts</b><p>It's nice to see he actually used the right uniforms for the appropriate years. Topps Heritage has made a couple Musials in recent years where they used a jersey before it was actually created, such as using the post-1956 uniform on a 1955 Topps card ... it's a common problem with the Topps Heritage &quot;tribute&quot; cards. Some of them are just ridiculous, like using 70s photos on early 60s cards ...

Posted By: <b>Keith Conforti</b><p>It's nice that you noticed the uniforms Chris. I always try to find images that are specific to the era of the cards. I also hate it when Topps uses a photo that is out of whack by a decade or more from the set they are mimicking.

Posted By: <b>Shane Hardie</b><p>I was 9 for 10. I missed the first one. I am not familiar with that set at all.

10 for 10, maybe not 10 seconds:confused:
The cards are phenomenal Keith, love the face on the '53, but agree with the Bob's, the red background on the 1958 really pops out at the viewer. Thanks for sharing.
