Best Looking Post-Career Babe Ruth Cards

What do you think is the most attractive Ruth card mfg after his career ended or even after his passing?
I would nominate these three

The green tinted Babe Hits 60 has Ruth in his most classic pose and the card itself is simple yet beautiful. The 48/49 Leaf is of course the first card printed of Ruth after his death and is a nice tribute as well as a gorgeous card. From what I have seen it sells in the same price range as his career era offerings.
The Topps "Famous Slugger" card also from 1962 may be my favorite of all his cards. Classic swing that you just KNOW is out of the park and the looks on the faces of the ump and catcher just seal the deal. This card is absolutely stunning.
In my opinion these three cards are more attractive than even his 33 Goudey selection and quite a bit less expensive to boot.
What are your favorite forties, fifties, sixties or seventies Bambino cards?
