Some very good picks above. One I haven't seen mentioned yet is the 1976 John Bench:

Card number 400 (of 407) in the 1957 Topps set. The final card of the great Brooklyn Dodgers. Even without Robinson, who retired the year before, this card will feature 3 Hall of Famers once Hodges gets in.

One of Topps' best IMO.

 I chose a favorite image from each decade. Nearly all the '57 Dodgers cards taken at Ebbets Field are pretty special. I love the Neal card with the scoreboard and wall signage behind him. I remember the '61 Covington from when I was a beginning collector. The unique pose and wonderful Braves uni stood out. The Aaron is terrific as well but there's something about Covington at the bat rack ith fans behind him in the stands that just makes this card extra special in my eyes. My Orioles bias may be in play with the third card but I have always felt it's the coolest card of the 70s and it's really my favorite for several reasons, the pose, his expression, the rookie award bowl, Just a very attractive card.

I like the All Star cards, especially the American League ones with the red backgrounds. The 58 Mantle All Star is my favorite Mantle card.
Too new and technically many many cards but I really like this Topps All Star card. Just put it in the frame this morning and now need to figure out a place to put it.

I love that Eddie Murray looks like a 15 year veteran, on his Rookie card.

Slightly OT, but I'll never understand how Topps could knock it out of the park on Brooks Robinson's rookie card, but then whiff completely with him the following year.

And to go along with it, a great photo of a ballplayer preparing for work on the grass of Ebbets Field- dirty uniform, no batting gloves, multiple bats in hand:  The only thing missing is a lunch pail.
