Which is your favorite and why?

Eddie and Johnny for me
 

I was a big fan of anything with Eddie and/or Johnny O'Brien since the first time I saw their 1954 Topps card.

What kid didn't dream of someday turning a big league double play with his brother?

I'm a Clemente fan...how could you go wrong, I just finished reading a biography on him...he was so complex, plus the 56 is one of my favorite cards of all time.

I think the Clemente has to be one of the 5 or 10 nicest cards ever made.

I wonder if Bob L can use his magic and put together a nice 56 Topps Mazeroski for us.

'56 Maz would be a fun job
 

Didn't Topps do one for the National a few years ago? Or perhaps it was on e of the other custom card creators.

I could see doing it, myself. Anybody got a nice circa 1956 portrait photo? How about a background "action" shot?

I'd have to go with the Clemente. I think it's actually a nicer card than the '55.
