This is my favorite 58 Spahn.

Cool Warren 'Aura' Spahn card.

Those are all fantastic, nice job. The Obak cabinets have always attracted me.

What cards just take your breath away?
 

Great cards in an old thread. This thread started a few months after I sold my first collection.
And my first card in my new collection..

Shown many times but it's still a beauty.

I have always admired the artwork of early Bowmans like these . . .

As a counterpoint to Leon's breathtaking E90-1 Cy Young, here is a card that some kid instead took Cy's breath away.

That's a great card!

The 1952 Berk Ross card of Campanella shares the same image as the 1953 Stahl-Meyer, but the Stahl-Meyer card aesthetically trumps the Berk Ross across the board (larger size, sharper image, more natural coloration, the better, fuller composition, even the inclusion of those standing room only fans silhouetted at the far end of the lower deck and the dude in the dugout makes the Stahl card superior). This photo of Campy was also used to artistically create his 1951 Bowman and 1952 Wheaties cards, but they lack the full stadium background majesty.

Brian (but the Berk Ross is a neat card...it still has that great action pose and stadium setting that I love)

Glad this thread was resurrected. Here's a few...

I like this one.
 

This is easy, because I’ve only owned it for a day, lol:

Eye Appeal
 

This one is nice to look at. Nice thread.

I think the Kashin premium photos are nice looking:

This always catches my eye.

Always Loved the 53 Topps Willie

This really is an incredible thread. So many beautiful cards that really do take my breath away.

A Dynamic Duo
 

These are miniature works of art…

That's some fantastic 53 Topps Robinson.

S81 Silk Evers
 

All the S-81 Silks are amazing with the Alexander and this one my Favorites.

Thanks, Jeff. One of my more recent acquisitions.

Always liked this Dick Brodowski card with the colorful billboard behind him.

Picked up this Joe Adcock some years as it just struck me as a great looking card at the time.

Always liked this card of Warren Spahn as well. Action shots, such as this one, are always nice, imo.

This one has been my favorite for a long time now. A young Mantle in pinstripes completing his swing, against a serene blue sky.

54b…

This card is always been my favorite looking. The pose. The red background. The menacing stare. Simply stunning.
