Default Which Vintage series looks the most beautiful in your eyes?

I know this is a highly subjective question, but hope members can look forward to hearing about/seeing some gorgeous cards. : )

No offense to the tobacco collectors, but the 1953 Topps set is pretty sweet!

I've never really liked the look of the T3's, they just...bore me. I like the more 'cartoony' sets...Delong, Tattoo Orbit, and '49 Bowman. I mean, look at that!

T210's and 2nd place isn't even close to the beauty of a T210. This card has a amazing red border and a very cool Y shaped hole punch. Also try and tell me the FTW on the uniform of this card doesn't bring out the little kid in you and put a smile on your face.

T3, T206, and 1953 Topps. I didn't care for the T3s much until I saw one in hand. The color and detail is uncanny.

I have always loved Black and white photography so I am oartial to The E121 sets. It is like the classic photography of Ansel Adams. Some may not find it very interesting but I do.

Yes, the T3s are huge. They really aren't cards.

But they get my vote as well.

E95, T3, E121, '52 Topps are my top 4 I think.

Then T206, CJs, and Diamond Stars. All of these have their moments and great cards, but there are some clunkers as well.

Much thanks to all the members who have offered their thoughts, and in some cases, pics. Wish they'd make modern cards like this.

T3's are stunning, but don't seem like cards. I love the N162's like so many other's have mentioned.

Default Kubiak....

Ted,

That is very rare. It is the first one I have seen with a Kubiak attached to the lower right corner. Usually the Kubiak/Miller combo comes with the Kubiak on the lower left!

Default E101 cards

For standard size cards...my choice is the E101 set. Tough to beat the colors in the sunsets in this set.

I gotta give a shout out to T202 as well. For pure aesthetics, I vote N162, but T202 are a total package- art/portrait/early action shots and a bunch of fun info on the back to boot.

T202 Cobb Jennings HA.jpg
T202 Mordecai Brown.jpg
T202 Mathewson Devlin Too Late for Devlin.jpg

T202 Speaker Wood rounding third.jpg

Also love- Goudeys/Diamond Stars, T206, T212, E93/E95, and many more. I'm in the minority and am not too in to T3. Definitely beautiful, but they just don't do it for me... yet

I really can't decide. It's also one of the few areas where my likes are "normal"

N162s are nice, and usually look nice even when they're a bit beat up.
But I don't have any yet they just seem expensive.

T3s are very nice, some of the poses look really odd though.
And a really beat T3 doesn't look anywhere near nice.

I'm partial to T204 also, have one sorta ok one. Another set that's fairly expensive especially for nice ones.

If only someone had done a set with N162 style art T3 size and with a T204 style border.

The other sets I'm partial to probably won't get any votes beyond mine.
