Favorite Multi-Player Card
 
What is your favorite post war multi-player card?

I'm thinking of cards that have multiple players in the same pic. Not League Leaders or Rookie cards with individual pics for each player.

My favorite (which I don't have) might be the 57' Topps Dodgers Sluggers with Furillo, Hodges, Campanella, Snider.



Post 'em if you got 'em'. I'll start it off with a classic featuring two of the all-time great sluggers.

Great card...

This one is easy for me...Harmon Killebrew is my all time favorite player, followed by Mays, Mantle, and Aaron. For Killebrew to be on this card makes it my favorite, although I am sure there are those that would say too bad he is on there...lol. If only Hank was there as well, I'd probably have 20 of these.

Really nice, the 68' set has some great ones with another one of my favorites, Bird Belters with both Robinsons.

pepis...I have always wished that card was a "landscape" issued card to better show the three players. Every time I see that card I want to turn it sideways like my phone to see it better! Haha. I do LOVE that card though...baseball history.

Yeah. But what the heck is Berra doing with his hands? Always wondered.

Yeah, it is kind of odd. Looks like he was squeezed up against the back end of the dugout there, and so didn't know where to put his hands. Maybe Bauer was a hardass and didn't want people touching him.
Agree with those who have a fondness for this card, as I recall being overawed by it in 1953 when I first saw it in other kids' stacks.

I wonder if the photographer snapped this shot just after. Almost looks like he's sitting in the same spot.

.....The Kaline/Maxwell ( even with the little scratches on the 14-year-old holder ) is , if you put a gun to my head , the ''favorite'' but that Aaron home run with Yogi Berra watching it sail over the fence , from the '57 World Series , is a close second.

Which was the same picture of the Robinsons from card #1 in 1967, The Champs, with Hank Bauer removed!

The one with Killebrew goes out to John O. (Harliduck, not John O'Brien) :)

the 59 is nice but the boys at Topps nailed it on the 63.
