Have to agree! That's a beauty, and the '33 Goudey Chuck Klein already posted is in the same category.
Also some great hockey cards posted by samosa4u, including the Parkie/Quaker Oats Plante which is a work of art.

May have been already posted, but you can never have enough of the '53 Bowman Color Pee Wee Reese.
Aesthetically, the '41 Play Ball DiMaggio is right up there with the '33 Goudey Ruth #144.
Also giving a shoutout to the leaping Rebel Oakes card from the caramel sets. This same card was posted on Net54 many years ago and opened up my eyes to the beauty of these more obscure cards.
Finally, this is my top pick for most beautiful card ever. T3 Turkey Red Tris Speaker. You have a legendary HOFer, with a great pose, a detailed background, a look of determination, vivid colors... and those red socks. Tris almost looks like he's moving, even though he's standing still.
