Of all his cards, I like the 1958 Topps the best.

One of the more underrated players of his era... shocking that if you asked the casual fan if they knew who Elston Howard is they would have no idea, despite the 12 AS appearances (really 9 though) and an MVP.
Also, I have surprisingly never seen that 58 Howard and it is one of my new favorites. Has to be the best looking card in the set and probably one of the better looking one of the 50s as a whole.
