Favorite Image on a Trading Card
 
2 Attachment(s)
Just thinking about my favorite images:

1) 1969-70 Topps Chamberlain - I love everything about this card, great player, great color, the headband, the blue satin jacket, the cocky expression, seems as if he's jumping right out of the oval and it's a tallboy.

2) 1933 Goudey Ott - Look at that mug. Enough said.

T3 Turkey Red Ty Cobb is the best image on any type of card.

I wish I still had mine...

That I own? Probably anything from the Red Heart series. Specifically this guy right here:

That I don't own? This entire series is beautiful but there's just something about Matty. Probably the movie star looks he had!

Way too many cards immediately come to mind.

Tough to choose between these two...... I think the first one might be altered.

this is one of the few cases where the alterations are okay in my opinion!

I love everything about this card, the image just makes me happy.

Perfect portrait, perfect action shot, perfect design.

Great player; greater man.

Baseball is a game of youth; these cards of a 21 year old Bench prove it.

Sometimes we forget cards are supposed to be fun for kids. These Schutter-Johnson cards remind me.

T3 beauty. Not a superstar player; however, I’ve always liked the image.

Honorable mention for:

53 Bowman Pee Wee Reese

Leon, can you imagine today dropping a letter to someone with just Milwaukee, WI for the address?
My favorite pose is the Texas Tommy Joe Jax. Sadly, long gone.

I will never own this card

But the 1914 Boston Garter Cards are amazing Graphics

This is the Favorite Image to me

abothebear 07-26-2021 06:07 PM

I don’t own one, but the 33 Goudey Pepper Martin is one I’ve always wanted just because of the look of it.

Peter beat me to the 53 Bowman Musial but I have a couple of other faves....

On the pre-war side I had no reason to buy this 1911 Obak Curt Bernard other than the wonderful background showing Chutes Park.

Attachment 470833

Hard to choose a post-war card other than the Musial but I'm partial to the '78 Murray rookie. It's just different and it's 100% Murray.

Attachment 470832

Thanks for all the other great cards posted in this thread!

Seriously though, this Grubb is pretty sharp.

I'm like a broken record on this one. It's been my favorite from the day I saw it for the first time. 1911 Zeenut Halla.

Mine is significantly trimmed, but still makes me smile every time I look at it. Eventually I'll upgrade it when the right one comes along.

I must really like this one because we've been together for 30 years (got it at the infamous 1991 Anaheim National).

Now that I’m older, think it would be cool to have hair.

No longer own mine, but from the internet: Classic 1957 Topps baseball pose at bat rack, with a great old-time television camera in the shot.

1974 Topps had two of my favorite action cards:

https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...Garvey%202.jpg

1964 Morinaga Katsuya Nomura:

https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...2%20Nomura.jpg

Such a classic baseball catcher pose. For those who don't follow Japanese baseball (from Wikipedia):

During his over 26-season playing career mostly spent with the Nankai Hawks, he became one of NPB's greatest offensive catchers. He was awarded the Pacific League MVP Award five times, was a Best Nine selection 19 times (basically, the best catcher in the game), became the first NPB batter to win the Triple Crown in 1965, and holds the record for second-most home runs (657) and RBIs (1,988) in NPB history to go with 2,901 hits

In terms of looks, the 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig takes the cake with me today. It captures Lou in all his glory. Just a truly beautiful card. But the 1933 DeLong cards and 1953 Bowman color cards are gorgeous, too, IMO. I love Whitey Lockman in the Polo Grounds, in living color. Bobby Morgan's pic shows off the Brooklyn Dodgers blue perfectly, and Pee Wee Reese firing over a sliding ballplayer (some say Gil Hodges) at Vero Beach is maybe the perfect baseball card.

The look of Ed Cicotte on his 1914/15 Cracker Jacks- perfect for him
