but just for the sake of continuing this conversation here...
I voted for the Reese of the ones you have pictured, but my faves are actually not listed there...but I share your enthusiasm for the set in general. It is a standout pioneer in color photogrpahy on ball cards, in my opinion...and very unique imagery, I agree.

My 5, in no order, really:
Eddie Mathews
Warren Spahn
Roy Campanella
Minnie Minoso
Tie: Ashburn (bat rack card! sort of) and Rizzuto.

With special mention going to the:
Boudreau
Feller
Garagiola
and the aforementioned Reese card

Most people pick the Reese as their favorite card in the set--I find it to be a too far away shot & very blurry & grainy!

For the simple pure beauty of a photo on a card, how can you beat the #33 of Stan Musial?
