While it's grown on me somewhat, and I eventually will to complete his "card from every year he played" set, I really don't like the 55 Bowman Mantle.
33 Goudey Gehrig does nothing for me either. I much rather either of his cards from the 34 set.

1938 Goudey Heads Up DiMaggio and 1933 DeLong Gehrig.
I just never liked the designs of those sets.

I've never cared for any black & white cards. And believe it or not, I've never cared for the 1915 Cracker Jack issue. I like the 1914 issue, just not the 1915 issue because the "cards" are way too thin - more like magazine cutouts than cards, if you ask me.

'52 Mantle because I missed it before it shot up...
...and any Joe DiMaggio - not a fan ...and the Joe Jackson cards previously mentioned.

38 DiMaggio and 63 Rose are two examples of popular cards that would fit my collection, but I have never been able to pull the trigger on either.
To anyone who mentioned the 52 Mantle I would just say you won't be disappointed if you decide to pick one up. Of any card I've purchased I was most excited for my first 52 Mantle. I don't know how else to describe it, but there is just something special about that card.

The only card I will never own.
Mariano Rivera rookie card. I am a life long yankee fan, can't stand the card. I'm good with everything else.
to all the leaf haters, I hold those in high regard, flaws and all. Though the Jackie shot is not a great one, (though splitting hairs with the '49 Bowman), when you really dig into the set, as the first full color post war set, the prints and images are pretty great. Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio are ICONIC cards, and the technique and color blocking I would (falsely) claim paved the way for the works of Andy Warhol a decade later. So much more aesthetically pleasing than just a photo, 1953 Bowman I'm looking at you. My two cents, not worth a penny.
