Cards that never were....what would you have liked to see?

[Leon]

1934 Goudey Ruth.....(and not a premium, a regular card)

[BradH]

1951 Bowman Stan Musial and 1952-58 Topps Musial. Has always bugged me that he's not in these sets (he does have a '58 Topps All-Star card, but not a regular issue).

T206 Joe Jackson; either portrait or action pose. I bet it would be an expensive card!

Dimaggio is another one, although he announced his retirement before the start of the 52 Topps production.

Beat ya to it, Rats.

There are more listed here but I guess they have to draw the line somewhere.

~3 minutes. You posted while I was typing my list. At least great minds think alike. How great would the 400+ card 1952 Topps set be if it actually included all the best players of that time? Especially the 2 best players in the game at the time.

Brad, good choice!

Man, if Musial was in 1952 Topps, that would've been an iconic card!

33 Delong Babe Ruth
33 Tatoo Orbit Ruth and Gehrig
33 George C Miller Ruth and Gehrig
34 Goudey Mel Ott
E93, 95, or 98 Walter Johnson

T206 Wagner action shot. Also a T204, T205 and T3 Wagner.

T206 team cards would have been pretty neat also. Although probably hard to recognize individual players.

1954 Topps Mantle.

[bbcard1]

Agreed on the 1954 and 1955 Topps Mantle. One that I would like to see is a 1963 Topps Maury Wills. Not only was it a significant and revolutionary season, I have met Wills a few times and have found him to be nice and courteous, which is the opposite of his described persona.

People would call it his rookie card.

A 1956 Topps Brooks Robinson !!!

This is a significant gap in the set but do you feel the exclusion of Ruth adds to the desirability of his 4 cards in the 33 set while also increasing the prestige of the #57 Gehrig, the key card to the 34 set?

1915 CJ Ruth, 34 Goudey Ruth, 51 Bowman Joe DiMaggio
