Nope, the 1974 Gary Matthews already has that covered.

It's funny you mentioned that- Mathews is the one of the commentators for the Philadelphia Phillies (my team) and I have to admit-I like him and that card and will be adding one to my collection very shortly thanks to that post!

Prewar it's the Four Base Hits King Kelly
Postwar (for me anyway) it's the 1956 Lincoln Mutual Dick Stuart

I like these Post-War/Pre-War portraits of Berra and Durham. Ruth and DiMaggio action cards turn me on.
Funny thing...They all are from New York.

I have to say I am also partial to this '53 Bowman Color Ralph Kiner.



This is my first vintage graded card. One of my all-time favorite players from my favorite ever baseball card set. What's not to love?

I can see that I mean that is probably one of the finest Mantle's I have ever seen. Can't believe it is a 6. To be honest it looks almost just as good as the 8.5 up for sale in the REA auction. Just a little more off centered.

I have to agree with Adrian. My eye is not yet as developed as the longtime collectors of this forum, but if that's a six, it's one of the most beautiful sixes I've ever seen.

Prewar, I also like the Cobb T206 bat off shoulder.

Post war, I might go with either the 1953 Bowman Color Roy Campanella, or Mickey Mantle from the same set. I also love two Clementes, the 1958 Topps, and the 1973 Topps.
