Your favorite card based on artwork/beauty

[benjulmag]

The most artistic card I have seen, the end-product of a documented photo shoot. It captures Kelly just after he became $10,000 Kelly, the peak of his career and popularity. My favorite card.

That's beautiful Corey!

Always thought this was a piece of art.

I love 52 Bowmans as well and that Musial is as fine as a baseball card gets. Another of my faves is the Spahn. A guy once said to me it looks like a Norman Rockwell painting.

The '52 Bowman set is gorgeous. So many beautiful cards. It plays second fiddle to the '51 because of the rookie Mantle and Mays, but to me the '52 images of those players are more beautiful than their '51's.

I'm in agreement with your opinion regarding these two classic BOWMAN sets.
But, with one exception....the 1951 Ted Williams. Of course, BOWMAN did not feature TW in their 1952 set.

Ted, as usual you are too sharp for me! Right after I made the post the Williams image popped into my mind. You are not getting older, you are getting smarter.
That said....the '52 does have Musial. Last I looked the '51 does not.

Interesting that you noted the 51B is missing a Stan Musial card. As, I have done some research regarding Musial and Williams featured (or not) in certain sets.

Perhaps, I will post this "phenomena" in a future thread here. It should be good for some thought-provoking discussion.
