No longer own mine, but from the internet: Classic 1957 Topps baseball pose at bat rack, with a great old-time television camera in the shot.

Richards isn't mine but I have always thought that it is a great image. Terry too - and he is mine.

Mine is even rougher than this one, but I love the image.

1974 Topps had two of my favorite action cards:





1964 Morinaga Katsuya Nomura:



Such a classic baseball catcher pose. For those who don't follow Japanese baseball (from Wikipedia):

During his over 26-season playing career mostly spent with the Nankai Hawks, he became one of NPB's greatest offensive catchers. He was awarded the Pacific League MVP Award five times, was a Best Nine selection 19 times (basically, the best catcher in the game), became the first NPB batter to win the Triple Crown in 1965, and holds the record for second-most home runs (657) and RBIs (1,988) in NPB history to go with 2,901 hits

In terms of looks, the 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig takes the cake with me today. It captures Lou in all his glory. Just a truly beautiful card. But the 1933 DeLong cards and 1953 Bowman color cards are gorgeous, too, IMO. I love Whitey Lockman in the Polo Grounds, in living color. Bobby Morgan's pic shows off the Brooklyn Dodgers blue perfectly, and Pee Wee Reese firing over a sliding ballplayer (some say Gil Hodges) at Vero Beach is maybe the perfect baseball card.
