Show 'em!! Top 5 Post-War Celebration
The main page has a "1st 5 HOF" thread where they post one card or collectible for each of the first five inductees into Cooperstown, so I thought we post-war folks should have a celebration of our own for the all-time greats who were trodding the basepaths during the 'Topps era.'
Simple rules: Post one card each of a quintet of the 'greatest' (whatever defines it for YOU) players from the later post-war era (say 50s through 70s). I stayed in the batter's box and went with a host of serious sluggers... 1959fleer68tedsigns.jpg 1965aaron170.jpg 1969mantle500WL.jpg 1966easthills21clemente.jpg 1971toppsgreatestmomentsmays.jpg

Very cool thread idea. I don't own a Mantle card, otherwise he would be here.
