The Most Beautiful Card Ever--With a Twist
There have been countless threads here proposing "the most beautiful" card (or just t206 card) ever etc. Invariably the nominees just happen to be HOFers--more often, top-tier ones. It's true, they often did get more attention from designers and artists, but it seems our aesthetic appreciation is often overly-influenced by the fame of the subject.
So I propose here a different approach. Offer your pick for "everyone would say this is one of the most beautiful cards ever--if it was for, say, Walter Johnson." I could propose a dozen or more but here's just one from me to give you an idea.... http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1426908264

T212s are vastly underrated imo. They are, dare I say, more beautiful than any other tobacco release.

T212-2 Obak and T212-3 Obaks are eons more attractive than the T206 set. Of the tobacco issues, Obaks are the winners hands down.

Just a couple years ago, I had about 225 T206's. Then I discovered the Obaks. Sold all but a hand full of my favorite T206's and replaced them with 1910 and 1911 Obaks. Haven't looked back since.
Greg, the Blankenship is a terrific card! The uniform details and background colors super cool plus it is an amazing portrait. Last edited by Jerry G; 03-21-2015 at 01:28 AM.

Great cards guys, Jay agree hard to find an ugly T3.
Obaks are great no arguments here, they even look amazing in B&W.

Since Wonka already knocked out my Obak Weaver idea, I figure I will go with these:
