Your favorite "action shot" card that you own

[David W]

As a Cardinal fan I've always liked these 2

Saw this card very soon after I got interested in vintage and HAD to have it. So cool:

Well, I don't have any vintage cards that could be categorized as "action shots", so I'll share one of my favorites. I'll own it someday (but surely not a PSA 9).

The 1953 Bowman Pee Wee Reese is the first thing I thought of.



It's a thing of beauty!

Just wow! I would like to have a print of that Reese shot for the wall...incredible! I have never seen that card before..

There is an informative thread from not long ago re the 52 Reese.

Thank you, Paul. Reading it now.

Just found out that was a b&w shot, hand colored for the '53 Bowman set.

Wow. Just wow.

As would I, John.

Like I keep saying, modern day baseball cards have nothing on the vintage cards. Just an amazing shot.

The 76 Brock is another one I love... the artist retouching on his right stirrup really makes this card... the scarlet color painted on adds a cool glow to his legs!

As an 11-year-old, baseball-crazed NYY fan, the most important moment of my childhood to that time:

[David W]

The 73 set has lots of cool action shots

I like the cars in the background of Luis Alvarodo, and the look in Beckert's face, like he did not like the home plate ump call.

[David W]

And a couple more 73's. Quiz time, which one is Joe Rudi????? And, shouldn't Bobby Bonds card actually be Willie Stargell???

[Harliduck]

Great 73 cards..I love that set! The Steve Garvey falls into the theme of whose card is it as well, not much action, and not much Garvey...

[ALR-bishop]

Great cards all

I've wondered what Bob was thinking at this very moment???

Looks like he's thinking "Do they teach these guys the strike zone at all?"

This card was kind of groundbreaking for its time. I was never really a Ryan collector, but this one was always cool.

He's thinking "that's ok, pitcher. Next time you hit the ball to right field, and try to stretch a single to a double, I'm going to throw you out".
