Ha ha, okay. No offense intended, if it was taken that way. I will have to abstain, because that grouping of cards is really as boring as it gets.

Anything but the 1958 Topps, that card is horrendously ugly.

Ha! I thought you had taste in baseball cards? How can anyone not like some of these cards in this grouping. Hey; send me that Brooksie rookie you have since it's "boring". Also, any and all of the other boring cards I'll take off of your hands as well.

Clint,

In my view this is a tough grouping. You have his rookie card, which is iconic, but all of them look good with likely the exception on the 1958 card. The card setup is nice on '58, but the picture Topps chose was less than desirable. Have you seen the '58 original artwork? At least if that whole shot was used it would have been a lot better even though it's not the best image of Brooks.

I went with 1960 since it's just a nice setup with two pictures of Brooks. It was tough and on a different day I may have chose differently...
