Brett, ol' Teddy Ballgame could still hit .300 swinging a frankfurter.

As a Braves fan, I have to go with the '54 Johnston Cookies set as my favorite. But the '54 Wilson Franks set isn't far behind. That Williams card is simply divine, and I will own one, though a nice one will cost me a kidney.

The '54 Wilson Franks set actually has a really nice checklist. Only 20 cards, but Williams, Gil Hodges, Bob Feller, Nellie Fox, Roy Campanella, and a criminally underrated Vern Stephens...lots of star power in it. And, for Milwaukee baseball fans, a handful of players with a Beer Town connection: Harvey Kuenn, Red Schoendienst, and Brave Andy Pafko.

But the Johnston Cookies set trumps it. I mean, Hank Aaron's rookie card alone makes gives it "king of the mountain" status against all comers, imho.

BTW, Jerry, beautiful example of the '54 Williams you have there.

Thanks for the kind words Bill. I think it's one of the best looking cards in the hobby. Very fortunate to have it in my collection.
