It's interesting that 90% of the cards posted are of HOFers or stars and 90% of all cards issued are not HOfers or stars (note: this is not actual research, I have no idea of the real percentages...but you get the idea). I wonder what cards someone without baseball knowledge would select...would a T206 Johnson portrait stand out from all the other T206 portraits if they had no idea who he was?
That being said, I will now fall into the same trap and say that this is the most beautiful card. Is it the stadium background, the sunset sky, the lovely composition with the glove reaching into the green space created by the diagonal of the base path, the icy (or crabby) stare? Or is it because it's Evers? If I owned a T3 Mathewson or Cobb, would I think that was more beautiful? Probably. But since it is all subjective, this is my choice for today.
