Another good option is to look for photos. Here's my 1939 Rc era photo of a young Ted.

"In 1955, there were 77,263,127 male American human beings. And every one of them in his heart of hearts would have given two arms, a leg and his collection of Davy Crockett iron-ons to be Teddy Ballgame."

Agree with those cards already mentioned as the outstanding candidates.

As iconic as the '54B is, Ted looks a bit 'frumpy' to me in that card for some reason.

If you can find any of these three with good eye appeal, go for it!

41003.jpg 48003.jpg 51003.jpg

And despite the lack of color, a nice example of the '40 PB can be surprisingly satisfying as well. Picked up a PSA 6 at the National this past year that just spoke to me.

You can't go wrong -- it's Teddy fricking Ballgame!

A "The Great American Bubble Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book" reference, nice. I like the 56 Topps design and it is affordable to most who can't spend the bigger bucks for a more key card.

I like the '57 shot...follow thru swing at Yankee stadium. Plus...the first year that Topps listed a player's stats year by year. '54 card #1 is a close 2nd...
