From a purely aesthetic point of view, what cards just take your breath away?

I don't have the card with me, I'm in DFW. Topps made a card of Ansel Adams in the 70's that I find quite aesthetically pleasing. If anyone could post a picture that would be awesome.

and I am guessing I will see you in a little while if I can swim to the show.....over 18 inches of rain in the last 24-36 hours in Corsicana (just south of Dallas). I am watching a long train, on the news, that is completely on its side, every car off the tracks from the flooding.

Sure will I was dumb and decided to take the scenic route from Austin yesterday. I got stuck in a detour in Corsicana for two hours. I got to watch the water rise literal inches. Yikes! Everyone be safe around DFW today.

Thanks Rick. I love that card. Only thing that would have made it cooler: replace the baseball with a camera.

Since I joined the forum, this has been my all-time favorite thread. (Thank you, Bill) I don't want it to leave the first page. Love looking at so many beautiful cards and seeing hobbyists with similar "collecting DNA." In my case, I share similar tastes with Josh, Raymond, Ronald, Scott, and Jason. Many of my favorites are here, but adding one I love because of the bold blue background and interesting framing.

Some OUTSTANDING baseball images in this thread. Every one of them is arresting.

These two come to mind. The former for the colors and the almost ethereal aura of his uniform. The latter for the way the artistry captures that impishness in the eyes so perfectly.

How did it take 7 pages for the '41 PB DiMaggio to pop up? Beautiful card. Outstanding 2.5 too.
