I've sometimes thought about building a collection of those cards.

Haha, I literally started a thread here on that very topic a couple years ago. It didn't get much traction, but yes, I also enjoy that pose. Here's the thread from 2019 (funny that I mentioned in that thread I was wanting the 52 Bowman Stengel...it only took me two years to pull the trigger):

Well, there's my checklist for my managers a-hollerin' collection! And the Rogers Hornsby "pull my finger" card to boot.

The image on that 52 Bowman Gil Hodges is mesmerizing!
And IMO, that is Stan the Man’s best-looking card.

Great stuff!

Beautiful 52s! Really nice cards, homie. The 52B has long been my favorite Stan, and yours is a great example.

I saw this badly miscut 1963 Topps Johnny Blanchard with about 1/16th of a Pete Rose rookie card for $6 on COMC and figured I couldn't pass that up.

Picked this one up for a Reggie Jackson display. I thought this looked better than several 5's I was looking at.
