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.

Pre-War: Congrats to those of you who picked the correct card - the T206 WaJo portrait, of course (although I actually prefer the T204 WaJo).

Post-War: Several of you are close with your Mantle choices, but no cigars! The correct Mantle choice is his 1959 Bazooka card, which blows all the other Mantles away!

Val,
I would agree. The '59 Bazooka is my favorite Mantle card.

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.

Pre war: 1940 Playball Jimmie Foxx (don't ask me why - it is just a clear photo of one of the great sluggers of all time)

Post war: 1952 Topps Gus Zernial (love the baseball bat covered in baseballs)

Rob---great Musial

The Ruth is actually an ugly card but I am a set collector and it comes from the only pre war set ( 1923 Fleer) that I collect

I could list too many to count, but just want to make point the sometimes the most beautiful are not HOFers, in fact I think the greater the player the more it seems to swing aesthetics. For example, I can't see any way the Walter Johnson portrait in yellow is the very best t206--at best it's tied with about 50 other portraits and action shots. Is it really more beautiful (beyond value), to cite just one example, than this?

Yes, yes, yes - E92 Mathewson is a beauty

and I love the 1967 Panini Cassius clay

Near perfect centering is a MUST!

Default Any T3 card & most any 1953 Topps card
I agree with Jay on any of the one hundred 1910-11 T3 cards. The Bob Bescher T3 always puts a smile on my face though. I'm also a fan of the 1953 Topps set, and I think the best examples from that set have already been mentioned. I also like the 1958 Topps Batting Foes card with Mantle & Aaron.

Thanks Bill! It was in a BVG 4.5 (yeah, that company that "overgrades by a full grade" haha) and is now in an 8-pocket sheet in a binder

Default Try as I might...
I really cannot pick one card when it comes to aesthetics. If you narrow it down to sets I believe almost any Obak and Diamond Star card would qualify for the most beautiful prewar cards. Postwar is even tougher, but I do like the design of the 1963 & 1965 Topps issues and the photographs on the 1979 TCMAs.

Here are pictures of a few of my favorites.

Best regards,

Joe
