Your favorite card based on artwork/beauty

[t206fanatic]

One of my fave T206 is Leifield Pitching, the sunset is art.

Matty's CJ is another classic.

Lastly will reiterate the Goudey Gehringer is the best of the set, that purple background

[Rhotchkiss]

The 1951 and 1952 Bowman sets are beautiful, and in my opinion the prettiest of all sets. However, I think this is my favorite all-time card

[DeanH3]

Great cards everyone. I have been thinking about this question and it's too hard to single any out. These two are at the top of my list, but it could change from hour to hour.

Pre-War



Post-War

[Rhotchkiss]

BTW- Jeff, that Matty is gorgeous! How/why is it only a 1?

[Kenny Cole]

A lot of my favorites have already been shown. For lithographs, it i pretty hard to beat the N162s. The FBH Kelly is pretty special too. As for photographic cards, other than the Kelly, I'm pretty partial to the Cubans. I'll post one Billiken, Tomas Gutierrez, and Aguilitas Segundas

[Bigdaddy]

My favorite right now (not mine):



Always loved the colors on this card

Agreed Ryan. I always liked this one!! The wonderful group of OBC guys knew it and gave this to me as a random act of kindness. It will always be in my collection. Thanks again OBC!!

I knew this card would make an appearance in this thread. What a photo! When it comes to ranking cards based on artistry, this one definitely makes a case to be number one of all time.

ALWAYS loved "The Baker Stare" and how that medium blue just makes this card pop!

[Marckus99]

Minty fresh.

[JollyRoger]

Always liked this one.

[Bram99]

Isn't this in the top 5 Mantle cards too? I think this one ranks right up there in beauty with the 52 and 53 Topps and the 1953B Color.

[Kenny Cole]

I'll add this one

Another card in the thread that would probably make my all-time top ten list for artistic beauty.
