Default 1970 Topps

My favorite bar-none is the 1970 Topps Williams. One of my best cards for a long time. Funny how 1969, 1970, and 1971 Topps Williams look like they were filmed on the same day. Also like 51 Bowman. Cheers

Love em all but if I had to have only one I'd take 1954 Wilson Franks. Great pic!!

I always want what I can't have.

Could afford it only if I sold all my other Williams cards?

Someday I'll get a beater

Setting aside the question of cost, I think the 1956 Topps Ted Willams is one of the top ten cards ever produced.

'48 Leaf. Preferably centered and w/o the print schmack, which takes it out of my affordability range. The red background enhances the image beautifully.

Figured I would post images of these two since they were mentioned as favorites. I do like them both a lot, but still choose his 51 Bowman as my favorite.

These are not mine by the way.

Thanks,

AndyH

I like the 1952 Red Man. I am also a fan of the 1956 Topps.

Does anybody have any thoughts as to why there is a puffy white appearance behind the signature on the '56 card?

gman, it think the white airbrush/retouch was a simple device from keeping it from blending into the background...I actually think that is one of the things I find most attractive about the card.

The Wilson Franks would be my top choice, but that card is pricey, even in low grade. So I'd say it's a toss up between '50 Bowman and '54 Topps #1 or #250 (The '54 Topps #250 has one of the coolest backs found on a card, ever )...
